PASS Engineering was established as a software provider for medical analysis systems. Medical software is by definition international software.

Their idea of efficient localization, integrated in the development process, has been released in the creation of PASSOLO, the PASS Software Localizer, marketed since 1998.

The main activities of PASS Engineering are the development, production and support of the software localization tool PASSOLO and the development of OEM software for healthcare systems.
