The HR platform for companies that refuse to choose between modern software and data sovereignty
Aequo exists at the intersection of modern UX, German and EU legal depth, and deployment sovereignty — built for companies that need Personio-level usability without giving up the option to run their own infrastructure.
European mid-sized companies are stuck choosing between three imperfect options:
Legacy on-premise suites
Compliant, but unloved — dated interfaces and slow release cycles.
Modern cloud SaaS
Polished UX, but treats German payroll and works-council process as an afterthought.
Enterprise suites
Priced and implemented for a scale most companies don't operate at.
Aequo
Built for the space between — the full employee lifecycle in one modular platform, GDPR-first by design rather than by retrofit.
That means database-per-tenant isolation, a Self-Hosted deployment option no cloud-native competitor offers credibly, and German labor-law specifics — ArbZG working time, church tax, social insurance, Betriebsrat-aware workflows — treated as core product requirements, not afterthoughts.
What Aequo is not
- Not a payroll bureau — Aequo computes and documents payroll and integrates with statutory reporting channels; it doesn't replace a Steuerberater relationship where you want one.
- Not an ATS-only or engagement-only point solution — modules are sold as one platform, not fragmented per-seat tools.
- Not a global-first product — localization beyond DACH/EU follows demand rather than leading the roadmap.
Built by NAVMEDA GmbH
Aequo is developed and operated by NAVMEDA GmbH, a German digital-transformation company — the same legal entity named as the operator in our Impressum.
