About us
For 35+ years, SOS Software Service has been an owner-led software distributor. With a strong network of partners, resellers and MSPs, we’re large enough for reliability and long-term partnerships. And flexible enough to respond quickly to market changes.
WHAT SETS US APART
Owner-led since 1987. No corporate structures, no investor agenda. We decide for ourselves what’s best for our partners.
Our network of vendors, resellers and MSPs has grown over the decades. Short decision-making paths within the company mean that when the market changes or a partner needs something, we respond immediately rather than waiting for committee decisions.
At home in the German-speaking market: with offices in Augsburg, Herrenberg and Switzerland, we have firsthand knowledge of the unique characteristics of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Our Awards
TECHNICALLY INTEGRATED
We are a technology company: automation and integration are at the heart of what we do. Through connections and interfaces, we are directly linked to the systems of the largest resellers and system integrators in the DACH region. Orders are processed automatically, price lists stay current in our partners’ ERP systems and processes run without manual re-entry.
Our development team implements integrations in-house. That's why we're the top choice for many partners when it comes to pilot projects and new interfaces.
OUR MISSION
Our partners’ satisfaction and growth are what drive us. That’s why our 80+ employees work every day to ensure that every reseller, every system integrator and every managed service provider gets the right license at the best price, every time: fast, personal and expert.
This begins long before the sale is finalized. Thanks to the value-added services offered by our business units , we provide our vendor and reseller partners with comprehensive support that goes far beyond mere fulfillment.
Our marketing brings vendors and resellers together and facilitates seamless access to the German market. Through professional pre-sales support , we work together to ensure the success of projects. This continues with an order processing system that works seamlessly, and it doesn’t end with the sale: our support team continues to assist our partners afterward, both technically and commercially.

Quality
