FAQ - frequently asked questions

1. Where are you located?

Our office is located near Hannover, Germany.

2. Is the software written by yourself ?

Yes. We are able to customize the software in any detail if required.

3. Are there any reselling offices ?

No, we only sell directly via internet or some partner companies, who
integrated our software into their products (OEM). Due to this fact we are able to offer
