Turbine Kreuzberg

What Turbine Kreuzberg does

Turbine Kreuzberg GmbH is a Berlin-based full-service software agency founded in 1997 that builds and modernizes enterprise applications across commerce platforms, content management systems (CMS), product information management (PIM), enterprise search, and middleware/data hubs. With approximately 100 technical professionals — including developers, architects, consultants, designers, and coaches — across offices in Berlin and Faro, Portugal, the company targets mid-market to enterprise B2B clients primarily in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and broader Europe.

The company's technical differentiation rests on integrating AI directly into live production systems rather than lab environments. Its core proprietary component, DataKube, is a domain-specific master data record that consolidates structured information (parts, alternatives, partners, prices, historical data) and serves as the foundation for Agentic Workflows — AI-driven process steps that make decisions and hand off automatically with human-in-the-loop oversight. The flagship deployment of this architecture is the AI procurement platform built for amec, which automates the full BOM-to-quote cycle using OpenAI and Google Gemini with fallback mechanisms and per-call LLM cost controlling. The firm complements this proprietary stack with technology partnerships across Akeneo, Algolia, Boomi, CoreMedia, Storyblok, Hygraph, OroCommerce, and Contentserv/Centric PXM, positioning itself as a best-of-breed MACH-architecture integrator.

Turbine Kreuzberg generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts with monthly partial payments, augmented by Change Request billings for scope expansion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; standard terms include 14-day payment and a 25% cancellation fee. The company operates without external venture capital or private equity backing — owned by three Managing Directors (founder Alexander Janthur, Sarah Hoidn, and Florian Möller) — and pursues new business through direct enterprise consultative sales, a Director of New Business & Strategic Partnerships, and a Director of Business Development. Named enterprise clients include HORNBACH, Riese & Müller, Sennheiser, Swisscom, Roche, Turck, Intersport, Pistor, and dental bauer (an Aurelius portfolio company).

Deliveries include digital commerce re-platforming (e.g., SAP Hybris to Spryker), Product Information Management (Akeneo, Centric PXM), headless CMS (Storyblok, CoreMedia, Hygraph), enterprise search (Algolia), and middleware/data hubs, alongside AI-driven process automation such as the amec AI procurement platform built on DataKube and agentic workflows using OpenAI and Gemini with fallback and Human-in-the-Loop controls.

The company maintains technology partnerships with leading platforms including Akeneo and Centric PXM (PIM), Algolia (Search), Boomi (Middleware), Hygraph/Storyblok/CoreMedia (CMS), and OroCommerce/Contentserv (Commerce).
