“Can a DACH-native HR + payroll + finance software house remain the trusted local alternative to global HCM giants for the SMB middle market?”
Founded 1988 in Austria as an HR-services boutique, Infoniqa spent the 2000s consolidating DACH payroll and HR software through acquisitions (including DCCS Informationstechnik / former Infoniqa Informationstechnik, Sawayo, perview, Run my Accounts). Today it operates as a DACH-focused HR + Finance + Payroll platform with ~1,200 employees across 26 locations, serving ~40,000 SMB customers with a mix of licensed software (Infoniqa ONE 200), cloud SaaS (Infoniqa HR), and BPO ('Run my Payroll', 'Finance Outsourcing'). Not a fintech — embedded finance surface area is narrow, limited to card acceptance on invoicing via a Payrexx add-on and Swiss E-Banking connectivity inside its accounting product.
Infoniqa processes payments through Payrexx.
Infoniqa's payroll is powered by Infoniqa Payroll (in-house), Infoniqa Payroll 365 (in-house), NAPA3 (in-house) and Run my Payroll (in-house).
Infoniqa integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Office 365.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Infoniqa's stack: Payments / PSP (Payrexx); Payroll (Infoniqa Payroll (in-house), Infoniqa Payroll 365 (in-house), NAPA3 (in-house) and Run my Payroll (in-house)); Accounting (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Office 365).
Infoniqa was founded by Siegfried Milly and Ernest Friedwagner and is founded in 1988, headquartered in Wels, Austria (Infoniqa Holding GmbH); Böblingen, Germany (Infoniqa Deutschland GmbH).
Infoniqa has raised $4.5M (disclosed) in total (latest round: unknown).
Infoniqa's acquisitions include DCCS Informationstechnik (formerly Infoniqa Informationstechnik), Sawayo, perview and Run my Accounts.
