This is us
Founded in 2017 by Benedikt and Claudia, Xentral has developed from an Augsburg based startup to a company with an international team of around 230 Xentraleers. All together we are shaping the world of ERP by building a lean and scalable software that simplifies your business processes.
Our Story
When our founders, who previously founded the Embedded Project GmbH, a microcontroller business, struggled to find an ERP system that met their needs, they took a unique approach. Rather than relying on existing solutions, they decided to develop their own. This decision led to the creation of Xentral, an ERP software built on open-source technologies. Designed initially for internal use, the system was intended to be adaptable, allowing for easy expansion as the business evolved.
Over time, as customers took notice of the software, demand grew. The founders, recognizing the potential, began tailoring the system to meet the needs of their clients. What started as a personal solution quickly gained traction, and the demand for the software soon outpaced that for their original hardware products.
In 2017, the decision was made to pivot the business model, and the hardware division was shut down in favor of focusing entirely on the ERP software. This strategic shift proved successful, as Xentral grew into a multimillion-dollar company. It is now backed by prominent investors, including Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, and Meritech Capital.
Xentral is a lean ERP cloud software that helps small and medium-sized enterprises automate and simplify their day-to-day operations. The easy-to-use business software consolidates all orders, inventory, payments and shipping processes in one place: creating more time, higher sales and stronger customer satisfaction. Simpler, more intuitive and more flexible: with over 1,000 functions and interfaces to all renowned tech tools, every business can digitise and automate its individual processes step-by-step themselves with Xentral ERP. Since our launch in 2017, we have developed into one of the leading providers of scalable SaaS solutions and nearly 2,000 customers have already processed over 71 million orders through the Xentral platform. This corresponds to a sales volume of almost 3 billion euros.
