What Cortado Mobile Solutions does

Cortado Mobile Solutions GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered software vendor specializing in mobile device management (MDM) for enterprise and SMB customers. Founded in 2015 and operating from wholly-owned offices in Berlin, Denver, Bristol, Tokyo, and Sydney, the company sells a cloud-based MDM platform branded as Cortado MDM that supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, and Apple TV devices. The product is differentiated by reliance on the native security architectures of Apple and Android (Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, Android Enterprise, zero-touch enrollment, Samsung Knox, Apple Automated Device Enrollment) rather than proprietary agents or app wrapping, with all customer data hosted in an Azure data center in Frankfurt certified to the BSI C5 standard. The platform is offered in three subscription tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) priced per managed device per month, with a 14-day self-serve free trial, and is augmented by add-on modules for mobile content, asset, application, and security management.

The company monetizes primarily through per-device SaaS subscriptions, supplemented by device rental/leasing bundles ("Firmenhandys mieten") and fee-based professional services. Distribution combines a product-led growth motion (web self-serve, QR-code enrollment, ROI calculator) with a channel network that includes Telekom Germany (TelekomCLOUD portal), Brodos Group, ENO telecom, and CIPS Informatica in Italy, plus direct enterprise sales supported by consultation booking. Customer concentration skews heavily toward DACH and German-speaking markets, with primary verticals being local government/municipalities, healthcare and social welfare (Red Cross entities, hospitals, mobile care), education (schools deploying iPad fleets), and logistics/transportation. Strategic platform partnerships include Google (Android Enterprise Silver Partner), Samsung (Knox Silver and Business Silver Partner), Microsoft (Entra ID integration), and a June 2026 partnership with Aiverti for managed deployment of AI applications on enrolled devices.

Operationally, the company is small (11–50 employees) and bootstrapped/private with no disclosed external funding rounds, led by CEO Michael Rödiger alongside a four-person executive team including founder Sven Huschke (CFO), CPO Kristin Montag, CIO Armin Lungwitz, and CTO Mathias Pröhl. Recent product velocity is notable: between November 2025 and June 2026 the firm delivered Mac management, a redesigned Administration Portal, Lost Mode, Apple TV support, a new fleet dashboard, Google Workspace integration, and the Aiverti AI deployment partnership.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Licensing (MDM): Cortado MDM is sold as a SaaS subscription based on the number of managed devices. Three pricing tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) are offered with monthly or annual billing. Pricing is per device per month (e.g., Basic plan at $7.50/device/month billed annually). The 14-day free trial converts to a paid subscription. The company also offers device rental ('Firmenhandys mieten') as an additional revenue stream.
2. Device Rental / Leasing: Cortado offers smartphone and tablet rental programs ('Firmenhandys mieten') as a Rundum-Sorglos (all-inclusive) package, providing flexible hardware access alongside the MDM subscription.
3. Professional Services: Consulting packages are available as fee-based add-on services, tailored to specific customer needs for optimal use of Cortado solutions. Onboarding services include personal support for initial setup and configuration.
