Matoma GmbH

Matoma GmbH is a German software company based in Trossingen, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1997 by Marco Gola and Mate Jovic. It describes itself as a mid-sized software manufacturer (mittelständischer Softwarehersteller) serving small and medium-sized enterprises as well as higher-education institutions. The company employs around 20 specialists and combines two main areas of expertise: online marketing built largely on open-source software — especially WordPress — and intelligent locker systems marketed under the NetLocker brand. In online marketing, Matoma develops and adapts open-source software, primarily WordPress, creating tailored solutions for owner-managed SMEs and universities. In the academic sector its solutions support alumni relations and fundraising, helping institutions build sustainable relationships with graduates and donors. The company also offers products such as ClickPost.cloud, a newsletter marketing center, WordPress maintenance and security packages, and SmartAccess, a tool for accessibility. Matoma's second pillar is NetLocker, its self-developed smart-locker solution. Since market launch, these intelligent locker systems have gained recognition not only in Germany but also internationally, including through a subsidiary in Switzerland. The company positions smart lockers as a response to modern workplace needs — the "true hero of New Work" — organizing and securing storage in offices and other environments. Matoma serves more than 500 customers according to its website and maintains an app store of plugins and cloud tools to help clients advance their digitalization. Recent activity includes bringing conversational AI into live operation with a Matoma chatbot, and a partnership with the Schwenninger Wild Wings ice hockey club for email marketing. The company remains privately held and independent, with no public listing.

Matoma GmbH was founded in 1997 by Marco Gola and Mate Jovic in Trossingen, Germany, as a response to the growing digital needs of mid-sized companies and educational institutions. From its base in Baden-Württemberg, the company grew into a mid-sized software manufacturer employing around 20 specialists. Its early focus was on online marketing using open-source software, particularly WordPress, developing tailored solutions for owner-managed SMEs and universities. In the academic sector, Matoma's tools support alumni relations and fundraising, helping institutions build lasting relationships with graduates and donors. Over time, Matoma expanded its portfolio to include products such as ClickPost.cloud, a newsletter marketing center, WordPress maintenance and security packages, and SmartAccess, an accessibility tool. A major strategic development was the creation of NetLocker, its own smart-locker solution. Since market launch, NetLocker systems have gained recognition in Germany and internationally, including through a subsidiary in Switzerland. The company markets smart lockers as a key enabler of New Work, organizing and securing storage in modern offices. By the mid-2020s, Matoma reported serving more than 500 customers and maintained an app store of plugins and cloud tools to support client digitalization. In July 2025, the company announced it had brought conversational AI into live operation, with two customers starting to use the Matoma chatbot. Later that month, the Schwenninger Wild Wings ice hockey club adopted Matoma for email marketing. In October 2025, Raoul Henry joined the NetLocker team, bringing logistics expertise for the last mile in the workplace. Matoma remains a privately held, independent German software company.
