The company serves primarily food, beverage, and consumer goods manufacturers, beverage wholesalers, and global consumer goods corporations — with named customers including Unilever, AB InBev (BEES platform), Upfield, Krombacher, Frischli, Layenberger, Warsteiner, and Genuport — managing product master data, digital assets, and GDSN-compliant data exchange with retail partners. Its platform includes a Connectivity Engine for ERP and external system integration, a Data Quality Engine that enforces GS1 standards and configurable rules, a Reporting Engine with BI dashboards, and a geo-redundant Azure architecture co-developed with Microsoft; Systrion is one of approximately 46–50 GS1-certified GDSN data pools worldwide.

The business operates a sales-led GTM motion targeting enterprise and mid-market buyers through tailored live demos, account management (Ralf Diederich, Thomas Lübbe, Norbert Obier), industry events (ECR Tag, IAMCP, GS1 Praxistag), content marketing (blog, talkrounds, MailChimp newsletter), HubSpot-driven inbound, and partner channels including Microsoft Dynamics resellers, GS1 Solution Partner referrals, and industry associations (GEDAT, DATA NatuRe, EHI Retail Institute). Revenue derives from recurring SaaS subscriptions for the PIH platform plus professional services for onboarding, GDSN registration, implementation, and consulting; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. With 11–50 employees and no disclosed external funding, the company has remained independently owned, with Wolfram Koller as CEO since founding and Stephan Frischmuth as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
