Many years ago, in a software world before our time, Zammad founder Martin Edenhofer already created a successful helpdesk software: OTRS. At some point, it was clear to Martin that these systems will become more and more important in modern times – and none of the existing solutions offer all the functionalities and integrations needed in everyday support life.
In 2014, Martin therefore founded a new open source solution with modern technology together with the core team from the OTRS area and called it Zammad. The result is up-to-date and extensive and has since convinced thousands of users - and new ones are added every day.
While the user group grows, the Zammad team has remained small and familiar and is still held together by the Zammadians, who laid the foundation and whose passion is untarnished to this day. We are scattered all over the world and yet work more closely together than many open-plan offices.
What we have achieved so far makes us proud. What comes next, we will see. But one thing is certain: Zammad is already a success story today.
Our name has a meaning. Zammad is Bavarian and stands for "together" - and that's what we're all about: together with our users, we solve their problems. Together with our customers, we get involved in things. And together with our community, we work on Zammad.
Our community? Yes, exactly! Zammad is open-source software. Our code is available to everyone for free - and it will stay that way!
But it's not only our spirit that makes us special, it’s also what's inside: Zammad is based on current web technologies like WebApp/HTML5, WebSockets, or REST in the frontend and relies on Ruby on Rails in the backend. Our user interface is clean, modern, and intuitive and was developed by award-winning UI experts.
To support teams all over the world who aspire to work more efficiently and excel in their daily customer service, Zammad is a modern helpdesk software solution accessible to anyone, based on extensive experience and continuously improved by a knowledgeable community.
