Our Milestones

The Halvotec Story

1999

14 square meters

The Halvotec journey began over 25 years ago — in a 14 m² student flat in Rosenheim, Southern Germany. Four friends with a shared passion for IT launched a software company. Even in those early years, Halvotec gained attention through custom software projects for clients like KPMG and BMW.

1999

2002

Development of RIOS software

Together with three pilot clients, Halvotec developed the RIOS software which is now a market-leading solution for managing vocational education institutions.

2002

2007

Development of RAQUEST software

In 2007, Halvotec launched its second major product development. RAQUEST, a solution for automating withholding tax reclaims. Developed in partnership with Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, it’s now used by more than 40 financial institutions across the EU.

2010

From custom software to Digital Experts

Halvotec’s roots lie in software development. Over time, our capabilities expanded to include digital workplace solutions and business process automation. These services were brought together under one umbrella with the creation of Digital Experts, a unit that combines software engineering with deep expertise in corporate digitization.

2015

Expansion of the Microsoft portfolio

Due to the close integration with the existing Microsoft technology portfolio, this was strategically expanded in 2015 to include the ERP solution Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Navision). This allows synergies to be consistently exploited and new cross-selling potential to be tapped into within the Digital Experts subsidiary.

Birth of the Halvotec Group

Over the years, the business divisions have increasingly developed individually – in their portfolios, structures and external appearances. The divisions are therefore spun off into four independent subsidiaries under the umbrella of the Halvotec Group: RAQUEST GmbH, RIOS Solutions GmbH and Digital Experts GmbH.
