As the European technology pioneer and market leader in the field of the handwritten electronic signature, our main emphasis lies in the development of innovative, highly functional hardware and software. Our clients value our all-in-one concept: development, production and distribution which are performed by our company, and avoid losses due to external service providers, among many other advantages. Our highly motivated team offers you products that do full credit to the “Made in Germany” seal.

StepOver GmbH was founded in 2001 and its head office is situated in Stuttgart. The ambitions of the company are founded on many years of EDP branch experience in development and production, as well as a healthy dose of enthusiasm. As our specialising in handwritten electronic signatures, we are a competent and reliable partner for insurance companies, banks and industries working in the field of paperless business.

One important starting point in optimising business processes is the removal of paper-based signatures and the corresponding format mismatches. A continuous electronic process is possible through the elimination of format mismatches, leading to an acceleration of all business processes as well as considerable cost savings.

We are continuously looking for supportive innovations that are highly relevant to our clients. That is why our product range is characterised by the preference of quality over quantity. Our motto is "To find the most economically appropriate solution for each client with maximum security". We don’t do things by halves: we are the technology leader in the field of electronically acquired handwritten signature security and we firmly believe in our project, as security leads to acceptance!

Even so, brilliant solutions don’t need to be complicated or expensive. Our solutions are clearly oriented towards customer values. We offer new technologies for valuable applications according to the most stringent security and quality standards. This also means that production takes place in-house. All our signature pads are handmade and extensively tested before delivery. The transparency and openness of our procedures and product management are the guarantee of the client's confidence and credibility. This explains why several large companies from the insurance and financial sectors have decided to implement a StepOver hardware and software solution.

A decisive factor for our success is our staff.

We are all part of the StepOver family and together we all actively build the company. At StepOver, each individual contributes to a better company every single day!

All employees add their background knowledge and personality to the organisation. That’s why we value them so highly as indispensable subject matter experts and fountains of creativity. We achieve our professionalism through expert know-how and intelligent work planning; each employee does what he or she does best and still knows how this relates to the processes in the global organisation. We consider ourselves "specialised generalists"; we are not restricted in our thinking and are always eager to learn.

At StepOver, each person feels co-responsible for the overall result and the company’s success. This also implies self-responsibility and independent decision-making of each employee. In this sense, our working method is always goal- and team-oriented. An informal working atmosphere and flat hierarchies promote direct communication and short decision paths in our company. This enables a strongly service-oriented and individual customer service by each individual employee.

We are really passionate about our products, since we are deeply convinced of their potential!

The needs of our customers constitute the criteria for ongoing and future developments, that’s why they are the centre of attention of our activities. We know that they are not looking for products, but for practical solutions to their specific problems. In this context, every single day they pose a new challenge for us. We treat our customers as partners, not as consumers, with the aim of establishing a long-term collaboration.

This long-term business relationship is also our objective towards our suppliers. In the sense of mutual give and take, we promote doing business at eye level.

StepOver is aware of its social responsibilities, especially towards its employees, with regard to signature security and user health. It is also committed to the environment in three main ways: through massive paper saving with the technology it develops; the recycling of old signature pad casings and its partnership with PrimaKlima-weltweit e.V., who are working towards the global reduction of the CO2 content by the replanting of destroyed or endangered woods.

At StepOver, values such as fairness, equality and anti-discrimination are upheld internally as well as beyond the company gates. At the same time a social, liberal and democratic world order is the basis of our success and the standard for our approach. Our ethical limits for commercial transactions are in line with those of our business partners. In all situations, the political and religious neutrality inside and outside StepOver is our priority. StepOver is a liberal-minded and unbiased company, something that we also expect from our partners and investors.

Focusing on these values, in the future we want to consolidate our market and technology leadership, developing first-rate products and technologies for which a real need exists. This will occur in a healthy, independent company in which the employees are treated as individuals instead of as a productive force, ensuring long-term job perspectives. We also want to keep growing without losing the fundamental advantages of a flexible organisation - creativity and adaptability in other words. For our customers and suppliers, we still want to be a fair, competent and reliable partner; this also involves sincerity, a large portion of curiosity and the personal commitment of each StepOver staff member.

We want to contribute to social development with our daily positive attitude!
