What Vedisys Ag does

Vedisys AG is a privately held German software company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Griesheim, near Darmstadt, that builds mission-critical back-office and passenger-facing software for the German public transport sector (ÖPNV). The company's flagship platform is AMIS®7, a VDV-KA certified distribution background system covering subscription management (Aboverwaltung), certified subsidiary accounting (Nebenbuchhaltung), tariff management, invoicing, EBE management, and revenue reporting for clearing procedures. AMIS®7 is the core onto which complementary modules are attached: AMIS®7school|web for OZG-compliant student transportation administration, AMIS®7bm|web for complaint and passenger relationship management, eTicketcenter with Motics/NFC for omnichannel ticketing, and the mobilityportal® multimodal passenger portal that integrates bus, rail, ridesharing, carsharing, rental bikes, and e-scooters into a single door-to-door journey experience.

The technology stack is built around VDV-KA certification, Motics (Mobile Ticketing Crypto Service) for cryptographic ticket protection developed in partnership with VDV eTicket Service, and NFC-based contactless ticket validation for which Vedisys was the first manufacturer in Germany to achieve live customer implementation ahead of the January 2026 mandatory Motics adoption deadline. Strategic partnerships include VDV eTicket Service (core technology), IDENTA Ausweissysteme (chip card production), Payone (payments), and qwertiko (hosting). The SenseTrAIn BMWI-funded research consortium (2021-2025) with DATAbility, Fraunhofer ILT, ME Messtechnik, and DB Systemtechnik explored AI-based predictive maintenance for railway components.

Vedisys monetizes through software licensing (single-user, named/concurrent/site/server licenses), professional services (implementation, consulting, subscription administration), and managed services/hosting. Sales are conducted via direct enterprise engagement with transport operators, transport associations, and municipal authorities in Germany, supported by industry events (IT-Trans, Kontiki, ÖPNV-Kundentag), content marketing, and a recently relaunched SEO-optimized website. The company serves 100+ transport companies and associations across Germany, with named customers including moBiel, OWL Verkehr, bodo, DING, VRT Trier, Verkehrsbetriebe Nordhausen, Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft, INVG, StadtBus Bocholt, MBB Meininger, and Landkreis Harz. Leadership comprises Martin Schweikert (Chairman of the Executive Board/Vorstandsvorsitz) and Christian Paechter (Board member), with Gerd Petermann as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
