Welcome to FORTecH Software GmbH

FORTecH Software is a software service provider based in Rostock.

We have been developing bespoke software for industrial applications for over 30 years. During this time, we have worked with clients and partners to create solutions for a wide range of sectors, particularly the chemical industry, the automotive industry and medical technology. We support you through all phases of the development and maintenance of complex systems in industrial measurement technology and image processing.

A particular focus is on the development of embedded systems and system-level software. We have experience in adapting Windows Embedded Compact to custom hardware.

FORTecH Software was founded in 1990 as a spin-off from the University of Rostock. Its portfolio included interactive development systems for desktop and embedded systems based on the Forth programming language. Using our development systems, we won the programming competition held as part of the Echtzeit conference and trade fair on several occasions.

In the second half of the 1990s, the company was renamed and reoriented towards the development of bespoke software. In doing so, we were able to apply our experience from the development of programming tools to innovative customer solutions.

Our company has established itself as a software service provider in the fields of process measurement technology, process data acquisition and visualisation, and embedded applications. Since 1990, we have been developing bespoke platforms and applications, embedded systems and database applications for medium-sized enterprises. We carry out projects of all sizes in close collaboration with our clients’ research and development departments. In doing so, we are constantly faced with new challenges, for which we devise innovative solutions. Drawing on our wide-ranging experience and inventive concepts, we also act as a cooperation partner in the academic sector.

Today, our clients come from across Germany, Europe and the USA. We support them during the product definition phase, in managing peak workloads and in implementing particularly demanding tasks.

Since 2020, we have been a subsidiary of VELOMAT Group GmbH.

 

Agility, quality, individuality – that is what FORTecH Software GmbH stands for.

Specialist in industrial software solutions

  • Technical depth rather than breadth – For over 30 years, we have focused on industrial measurement technology, image processing and embedded systems, rather than spreading ourselves too thin as a generalist.
  • A reliable partner throughout the entire lifecycle – From the initial requirements analysis through to long-term support, we accompany our customers through every phase of their projects.
  • Quality with independent monitoring – Our quality management system has been externally audited by SGS-ICS since 2003.
  • Part of the VELOMAT Group – Since 2020, we have also benefited from our collaboration with the other Group companies in the field of measurement technology.

Close collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all solution

  • Customised rather than off-the-shelf – We develop bespoke software rather than off-the-shelf products, tailored to our clients’ actual requirements.
  • Close links with research and development – We carry out projects in direct collaboration with our clients’ R&D departments.
  • Leveraging cross-sector experience – We specifically apply tried-and-tested solutions from one sector to new challenges in other sectors.
  • Agile approach – An iterative cycle of analysis, planning, implementation and testing, enabling us to respond flexibly to new requirements.

Teamwork in which everyone contributes their strengths

  • Diverse, challenging projects – from measurement technology and image processing to AI applications: our projects are varied and technically demanding.
  • Interdisciplinary team – Specialists in computer science, electrical engineering and physics work together on solutions where everyone can contribute their strengths.
  • Tangible benefits for clients – We are motivated to develop solutions that provide concrete help to our clients in their day-to-day work.
  • Continuous learning – Regular training and partnerships with technology providers ensure our team stays up to date.
