DextraData steps up its AI offensive with a stake in Bavarian specialist iVivid

Essen, April 22, 2025 – With its investment in the Bavarian AI specialist iVivid, the Essen-based SaaS provider DextraData opens a new chapter in intelligent business solutions. This alliance marks the kick-off for the deep integration of practice-proven Artificial Intelligence into all of the company's product solutions – with a clear goal: software that not only supports but also thinks along.

“The era of simple automation is over – superseded by AI. Our customers receive software that understands, recognizes patterns, acts proactively, and makes data-centric decisions – dynamically, adaptable, and targeted,” explains Shayan Faghfouri, founder and CEO of DextraData GmbH. “With iVivid, we have gained the ideal expert to turn this vision into reality.”

AI that suits the customeriVivid GmbH, based in Oberschneiding, Bavaria, specializes in developing tailored AI solutions. In various industries – from telecommunications, real estate, and automotive to healthcare – iVivid demonstrates how AI creates genuine added value. Their solutions have proven successful equally with DAX-listed corporations and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, iVivid was honored by the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs in 2024 as a “Top Company in Lower Bavaria.”

“DextraData's investment opens up new markets and exciting application areas for us – especially where our technology can make the biggest difference,” says Philipp Gellert, CEO of iVivid GmbH. “At the same time, we remain true to our principles: pragmatic, innovative, and always human-centered.”

Synergies for more innovationiVivid's AI technology provides information faster, offers the basis for smarter decisions, and thus noticeably relieves employees – particularly in areas with high time pressure and performance demands.

The initial results of the investment are already evident in the DextraData Healthcare Suite of DextraData Healthcare Technologies GmbH, founded in January: Here, the use of Artificial Intelligence goes far beyond mere hype. The platform pursues a clear, practice-oriented approach – with real added value for patients, specialist staff, and processes. In addition, training, dialogue, and targeted change management measures ensure that the technology is not only introduced but also understood and accepted. This transforms AI into living practice with sustainable impact. Because success emerges where technological innovation, human-centered design, and economic efficiency are considered together – and reinforce each other. First concrete projects with partners from the healthcare sector are already in planning.

“Our software is now a team member – not just a tool,” says Shayan Faghfouri. The shared vision: applications that reliably support proactive action while focusing on people as users, co-creators, and drivers of change. “We don't develop black boxes – but understandable, trustworthy solutions with clear benefits for the user,” adds Philipp Gellert.
