NOVOLOS01 LIMITED

What NOVOLOS01 LIMITED does

NOVOLOS01 LIMITED operates as Novolos 01 GmbH, a German full-service IT consultancy and recruiting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered operationally in Cologne with a legal registered office in Bergisch Gladbach. The company organizes its offering into two pillars: "Smart Digitalization," covering IT and digitalization strategy, IT architecture management, project management, software license management, and nearshore software development; and "Smart Hiring," covering permanent IT recruitment, interim management, team hiring, and executive search. Service delivery is supported by nearshore software engineering hubs in Athens, Thessaloniki, Malaga, and Nicosia, and a wholly owned Greek subsidiary (Onelity) plus a German interim management affiliate (DigitalLoge).

The business model is professional services and managed services, sold via direct B2B engagement to enterprise (DAX companies, large international corporations) and mid-market (German Mittelstand) clients, primarily across Germany with international operations in 10 countries. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than publicly disclosed. Recruitment services are also offered to candidates through a dedicated Zoho Recruit portal, creating a dual-sided market in which the firm both sources and places IT talent. The company claims 150+ employees, 9 locations, 11 languages spoken, 250+ completed projects, and a 70% female workforce as stated on its About page.

The firm is privately held and founder-controlled, led by CEO & Founder Georgios Kontargyris and Managing Director Constantin Kontargyris, with no disclosed external investors. Its core technology competencies span Java, C#, Python, and .NET development, supported by CI/CD, Docker, and test automation practices, alongside advisory expertise in SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM, and VMware license optimization. The company has not disclosed revenue, funding, or formal AI/ML capabilities, and growth is implied by headcount, geographic footprint, and product-line additions rather than financial metrics.
