Financial Overview of UMT AG
In light of the financial challenges, Erik Nagel, CEO of UMT AG, highlighted that the company is emerging from a prolonged period of decline. According to him, UMT AG is in a “turnaround phase”, focusing on enhancing its own product portfolio and strengthening its sales operations. “We are working tirelessly to significantly expand our operational business while maintaining a comparatively low operational cost level,” Nagel stated. Additionally, a convertible bond placement is anticipated to boost marketing and sales efforts, ultimately aiming for customer acquisition and revenue generation. He metaphorically compared the company’s trajectory to that of an airplane, indicating that after a “long descent, we are now in the takeoff phase, and achieving altitude is our next objective.”

This innovation plays a crucial role in the automation of external document processing within internal workflows, functioning similarly to a virtual AI clerk. Examples of its applications include automated invoice verification against purchase orders, the streamlined handling of claims aligned with customer agreements, and fully autonomous processing of logistics transport orders.
UMT AG is also actively evaluating potential investments in companies that align with its core competencies. The goal is to position itself as a provider focusing on scalable and specialized IT and AI-based solutions aimed at enhancing business efficiency over the medium term. Promising discussions are currently underway to seek out financially stable companies with operational stability for potential partnerships.
