If You Saw a Movie Yesterday - It's Very Likely That Our Software Was Involved.

You may never see "Pomfort" in a movie's credits - but our software products Silverstack and Livegrade are present virtually in every professional movie production. From 2010 all the way to today, an always increasing number of feature film, tv, and commercial productions worldwide have chosen "the Pomfort way" for handling their movie projects.

This results in products that are intuitive, functional, and yet highly professional – software that gives you all the flexibility and adaptability you need to excel in any kind of movie production environment.

We have highest expectations to ourselves to build top-of-the line software products in the industry. Therefore we experiment, pay attention to the details, and tackle tough challenges every day – and we constantly keep on learning.

And from day one our software products were developed in co-creation with numerous customers from all over the world. We put our main focus on understanding our customer’s intentions and business. Everything we build is driven by their challenges and designed around their needs. Delivering a great customer experience is our ultimate and most important goal. With skill and grit we established Pomfort as one of the hidden champions in film production technologies.

By the way...

...what does "Pomfort" mean?

The name Pomfort has its origin in the adjective "pomfortionös" (pɔm.fɔʁ.tsjo’nøːs), a very rare German word used especially for delicious meals. The exact meaning - originally assembled from the French words bon and fortuné - is something between extraordinary and wonderful.

The name and the reference to food and cooking reminds us that creating software in a team is similar to the activities in a kitchen, where ten pots boil simultaneously and only attention and experience bring everything in time on the plate.
