This is how sustainable digitalization works

Our community portals help you take a big step in digitalization and community development. Whether as a social intranet for your organization or as a citizen platform for your city or region: everyone involved can work together in self-managed spaces, make their activities visible and network with each other. As you grow, your portal grows with you. So that you don't have to worry about installing and maintaining the software yourself, we offer you our cloud hosting - with professional support and at fair prices. As a common good-oriented and value-driven cooperative, we protect the data and privacy of your users. Our software is open source & made in Germany. A TÜV certificate confirms that we meet strict security requirements.

Secure data transfer, strong access control, encryption, daily backups, etc.: A TÜV certificate (ISO 27001) confirms that our community portals and internal processes meet strict security requirements.

Open-Source

The code of our products is open source out of conviction. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we are increasingly integrating strong open source tools such as Nextcloud, Rocket.Chat or BigBlueButton into our community portals.

We are a cooperative

Transparent • Community-oriented • Sustainable​

Our priority is not profit, but our values. Our aim is to communicate transparently with our portal partners and users, to act resource-saving and fairly and to make a contribution to the common good. As a cooperative, participation plays a major role for us. As a portal partner, you can become a member yourself and help determine our course.

Playful engagement matching
is included too

Our Volunteer-O-Matic is particularly suitable for municipalities and volunteer agencies. Thanks to its playful nature, the online tool creates low-threshold access to local engagement for citizens from young to old. The Volunteer-O-Matic can be used either as a standalone tool or as an extension in a community portal.
