About Hoccer

Hoccer GmbH, a German software company established in July 2010, emerged from the creative technology environment of ART+COM Studios. The founding team, comprised of Pavel Bely, Sascha Spittel, and Jens-Heiner Dahmen, sought to simplify data exchange between mobile devices. Their initial concept revolved around creating an intuitive method for sharing contact details without manual typing, which evolved into a broader platform for spontaneous information transfer. This foundation in media-based interactive projects at ART+COM heavily influenced Hoccer's development trajectory. The company's core business centers on providing secure communication solutions, primarily targeting business and enterprise clients who require high levels of data privacy and control. Hoccer operates in the secure messaging and enterprise communication market, offering its technology as a white-label solution. This business model allows other companies to integrate Hoccer's secure communication features into their own applications and services, generating revenue through licensing and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings. While initially launched with consumer-facing apps like Hoccer and Hoccer XO, the company has pivoted to focus on the business-to-business (B2B) sector, emphasizing secure, encrypted data transfer for corporate environments. Hoccer's technology facilitates peer-to-peer data transfer based on location and gestures, enabling users to 'throw' files from one device to another nearby. The platform's key differentiator is its commitment to security, employing end-to-end encryption to ensure that only the sender and recipient can access the exchanged information. All servers are located in Germany, adhering to the country's strict data protection laws. The product suite, particularly tailored for enterprise clients, provides a secure alternative to mainstream messaging services, allowing for confidential internal and external communication, file sharing, and collaboration without compromising data integrity.
