Our Story 

When Benedikt Sauter and his wife Claudia couldn't find an ERP that fit their microcontroller business (Embedded Project GmbH), they decided to build one themselves. Benedikt developed his own inventory management system on an open-source foundation, designed to be extended flexibly whenever new needs came up. What started as an internal tool quickly caught the attention of their first hardware customers. Benedikt kept adapting the system to new requirements, and before long, demand for the software outpaced demand for the microcontrollers. In 2017, the two decided to wind down the hardware business and focus entirely on the ERP. That decision became Xentral ERP Software GmbH, headquartered in Augsburg — today an internationally growing software company backed by investors including Freigeist Capital, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, and Meritech Capital.
