What L-mobile does

L-mobile is a privately held, family-owned German B2B software company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Sulzbach an der Murr, Baden-Württemberg. The company develops modular mobile business process solutions for warehouse logistics, manufacturing production, field service management, and mobile sales, all designed to integrate with the customer's existing ERP system. Its core product portfolio comprises L-mobile warehouse (WMS), L-mobile service (Field Service Management with Augmented Reality support), L-mobile sales (Mobile CRM), and the Digital Factory paperless production suite, supported by modules including forklift guidance (Staplerleitsystem), automated guided vehicles (FTS), Pick-by-Light, E-Kanban, electronic labels (E-Label), production and machine data collection (BDE/MDE), and real-time reporting.

The company serves primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU) as well as larger corporations, with a stated base of more than 900 customers and 1,700+ implemented projects. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring software licenses/subscriptions, professional services and project management, hardware resale, and managed IT infrastructure services, with quote-based project pricing rather than published tiers. L-mobile sells primarily via direct enterprise field sales and award-winning live demonstration showrooms (Digital Factory and Digital Service Center) at headquarters, supported by a partner network and standardized pre-built interfaces to all major mid-market ERP platforms (SAP including S/4HANA and Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor COM, Proalpha, Sage, ALPHAPLAN). The company operates from six international offices (Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Tunisia, France, Spain) with a continuously growing team of more than 300 employees, and is organized across multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries (L-mobile infrastructure, L-mobile Systeme, L-mobile log 2.0, L-mobile saas, L-mobile swiss AG) covering IT infrastructure, core software, logistics, SaaS, and Swiss market operations respectively, with ownership and management concentrated in the Löchner family.
