What Cloudflight.io does

Cloudflight.io is a European-headquartered digital services provider delivering custom software development, digital commerce, cloud services, and data & AI solutions to enterprise clients across Germany, Austria, Poland, and Romania. Founded in 2004 (rebranded to Cloudflight in 2019), the company operates from 15 office locations under a group structure ultimately held by Austrian holding company Sappho zweiundzwanzigste Holding GmbH, with Munich-headquartered Cloudflight GmbH as the primary legal entity. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: Software Engineering (custom development, application modernization, industrial and embedded software), Digital Commerce (eCommerce development, composable commerce, replatforming, AI integration), Cloud Services (migration, modernization, platform engineering, FinOps), and Data & AI Services (data management, analytics, AI development).

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based and multi-year professional services engagements with enterprise customers, with billing tied to engagement scope, team composition, and duration; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Cloudflight has expanded its capability set and geographic footprint through acquisitions of Divante (Poland, December 2021) and Mogree (Austria, August 2022), and a 2025 merger with paiqo to scale data and AI delivery. Customer concentration spans large industrial and commercial enterprises (voestalpine, SPAR ICS, Rosenbauer, Brenntag, Schachermayer, Bausch+Ströbel), public-sector programs (Interact-EU's Jems platform, used by 50+ of Europe's 86 Interreg programmes), and regulated healthcare engagements (AOK Baden-Württemberg, Ortovox, with ISO 13485 certification at the Kiel office).

Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales supported by thought-leadership content (the "Agentic AI Gap" study, white papers, newsletters with 15,000+ subscribers), industry events such as "Get Inspired" CIO forums, and strategic technology partnerships (notably VTEX for composable commerce). Cloudflight holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 certifications, is a UN Global Compact partner, and has committed to Science Based Targets for emissions reduction. Under new CEO Manja Kuchel (appointed March 2026), the company is repositioning around agentic transformation and an AI-first consulting offering.
