flexis AG

What flexis AG does

flexis AG is a privately-held German software supplier and consulting firm headquartered in Stuttgart that delivers solutions for production markets, founded in 1997. The company operates two clearly delineated business lines: a software product business targeting production/supply-chain use cases and a dedicated 'flexis Consult' advisory practice that supports implementation and customer transformation. The firm is led by founder and CEO Philipp Beisswenger alongside CFO Benno Ziller and CTO Thomas Klöpfer, with an EVP-level sales lead (Mike Lenaghan) running a North American subsidiary (flexis North America Inc.) and a Director (Robin Hornung) heading the consulting unit — a structure that signals both a product and a services revenue mix, and a transatlantic go-to-market.

The company employs 51–100 people, placing it firmly in the European mid-market enterprise software segment. Its website (flexis.com) positions it as a specialist serving multiple production markets, suggesting vertical depth in production environments rather than horizontal breadth across generic enterprise software categories. The presence of a consulting arm alongside the software product points to a traditional European ISV model where implementation services are integral to enterprise sales cycles and contract size.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed and pricing is enterprise/quote-based, consistent with mid-market European enterprise software norms. Distribution is dual-track: direct enterprise sales augmented by consulting-led implementation, with a North American subsidiary extending geographic reach beyond Germany. No funding history, ownership structure, or revenue figures appear in the source material for flexis AG.
