What DoubleSlash does

doubleSlash Net-Business GmbH is a privately held German full-service software provider headquartered in Friedrichshafen, with additional offices in Munich and Stuttgart. Founded in 1998 and operating for over 25 years, the company delivers custom software development, cloud consulting and migration, IoT system integration, data and AI engineering, cybersecurity, and managed cloud operations primarily to enterprise and mid-market customers in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Its services are organized around three solution areas — Connect (digital ecosystems), Make Smart (data and AI), and Monetize (digital products and subscription business models) — and it works through direct enterprise sales complemented by partner co-selling motions with Microsoft, AWS, and Vodafone Business.

The company maintains an in-house proprietary product portfolio alongside its services work. Core products include Business Filemanager (enterprise document handling), Secure Password Share (credential distribution), Digital Key (a CCC-certified smartphone-based vehicle access solution built with hardware partner Marquardt), and the doubleSlash AI Assistant. Its data-driven solutions line features modular offerings — Data Factory (AWS-based ETL architecture), Data Explorer, Data Champion, Data Assessment (an AI chat-driven workshop funnel), and Data Readiness Check — addressing data quality, analytics readiness, and AI scalability for enterprise customers.

Monetization is split across custom development and consulting engagements (professional services), managed cloud operations (managed services), and a smaller but growing subscription/recurring revenue component from the proprietary product line. The Data Assessment tool is offered as a freemium AI chat with a paid EUR 1,500 on-site workshop, indicating experimentation with self-serve lead generation. doubleSlash is a Core Member of the Car Connectivity Consortium and is a member of multiple automotive and industrial alliances (Catena-X, Cofinity-X, Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, VDMA). It holds minority equity stakes in codeCrafters Bulgaria and codeCrafters Paraguay as part of its shoring strategy. The firm reported FY2025 revenue of approximately EUR 29 million with around 250 employees and is controlled by its management board (Konrad Krafft, Andreas Strobel, Patrick Schmerbach) with no disclosed external institutional investors.
