WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM SOFTWARE BROKER

When we founded this company, we didn’t think there had to be more purveyors of used software. But different ones! Ones who could handle a software transaction transparently, with seamless legal documentation, and the necessary level of trustworthiness.

N
Savings up to 50–70% compared to buying new software licences
N
Hand-in-glove cooperation with all levels of your organization
N
Absolute confidentiality regarding our mutual involvement in any transaction

This is our understanding of transparency, professionalism, customer satisfaction, and legal security.

BUYING AND SELLING USED SOFTWARE IS A MATTER OF TRUST

Thanks to years of experience in the used software market, we know that working with new partners requires a lot of trust. Our customers, small companies as well as large corporations, including several DAX members, especially value our commitment to finding solutions. One example for this is our flexible contract structure for buying software licences you no longer need. You can have their value paid out in cash or converted to partner credit, which you can use for goods or services from a partner of your choosing.
