Our Story
ALVARA was founded in 1996 in Leipzig, with a vision to digitally connect the cash cycle between retailers, cash-in-transit companies, and financial institutions. What began as an early track-and-trace solution grew step by step into a platform that today maps the entire journey of cash, from the till to the central bank. It's used by more than 200 retail chains, cash-in-transit companies, and financial institutions, with offices in Leipzig, Hamburg, and Marseille.
FID SOFTWARE was founded in 1999 in Offenburg, built by retail, for retail. What started as software for branch auditing grew into a full suite covering the entire audit and security process, from structured audit cycles to theft management and POS data analysis. Today, more than 65 retail companies with over 100,000 stores across 35 countries run on solutions built in Offenburg.
It's no coincidence that these two paths are converging. Chain retailers frequently run solutions from both companies, often in the very same stores. ALVARA joined the YUVENDA Group in 2024, followed by FID SOFTWARE in 2025. Since then, the two teams have worked closely together, pooling expertise and building joint solutions. In 2026 comes the natural next step: both companies are joining forces as YUVENDA Enterprise Solutions GmbH.
Two Teams, One Company
YUVENDA Enterprise Solutions isn't a fresh start. It's the union of two established teams that have supported their customers for decades.
The ALVARA Team
From Leipzig, Hamburg, and Marseille, the ALVARA team builds and supports the platform solutions behind the cash cycle: Interactive Cash Control, Pecunia ERP, Smart Safe Monitoring, and MünzMarktplatz. Many team members have worked with their customers for over a decade, from the initial process assessment to day-to-day support.
The FID SOFTWARE Team
In Offenburg, the team builds the solutions for audit and revision processes, theft management, and purchasing management: AUDIT System, Sherlock, CashControl, and WIZARD. The team itself comes from retail, and that background shapes every feature: practical, developed directly with users, with short lines of communication between customers and development.
Values That Guide Us
Our customers trust us with the most sensitive processes in their business: cash, security, and audit. That's where our values come from.
