CIXON

What CIXON does

CIXON GmbH is a remote-first, Potsdam-headquartered HubSpot-focused digital consulting firm that digitizes marketing, sales, and customer management for growth-oriented mid-market and enterprise clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Founded in 2018, the company operates as a HubSpot Diamond Partner — the only accredited interface (Schnittstellen) partner of HubSpot in Germany — and was the first DACH partner to achieve Gold, Platinum and Diamond status within a 12-month window in 2020. Its portfolio covers the full HubSpot delivery lifecycle: HubSpot Implementation (4-phase methodology), Onboarding & Training, AI Services (AI audits, Answer Engine Optimization, HubSpot AI Agents, AI enablement), HubSpot Audit, Migration from legacy CRMs (Salesforce, Pipedrive), Inbound Consulting, custom Website Development on HubSpot CMS, and Data Services for migration, cleansing and interface development.

The company's product surface goes beyond pure services. Two vertical solutions — CIXON Finance Hub (automated factsheets, fund charts, web solutions for asset managers and financial services) and CIXON Recruiting Hub (CV parser, matching system, candidate exposé combined with HubSpot CRM for staffing firms) — institutionalize domain expertise. The flagship 'Digitale Kommandozentrale' (Digital Command Center) bundles HubSpot CRM with Aircall cloud telephony into a unified sales stack with email/WhatsApp automation, lead scoring, and customer satisfaction surveys. Custom-developed IP includes CRM cards, custom HubSpot objects, custom workflow actions (HubL/JavaScript/HubDB), vertical calculators (e.g. RaiffeisenVolt solar savings calculator) and customer portals. The team holds 40+ HubSpot certifications and 2024 accreditations in Custom Integrations and Professional Onboarding.

CIXON makes money through professional services: project-based HubSpot CRM implementation, website development, and data migration engagements, recurring retainer/punching-card advisory blocks, and ongoing 'Solution Architect' account management. Pricing is custom-quoted per scope; no public pricing is published. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting German Mittelstand, Hidden Champions, and scale-ups, augmented by inbound demand via HubSpot's marketplace, an SEO/content engine, webinars, podcasts, and OMR Reviews presence. The firm has completed 300+ CRM projects over the last five years across 150+ customers; named logos include Intersport, EnBW, Shareholder Value Management AG, alliantis, Fintiba, ImmoGroup, RaiffeisenVolt, Teamscale/CQSE, Mech-Mind Robotics, United Domains, Bioniq, Pyfore Capital, and netgo group. The company is privately held, with founder Stefan Wendt as the named representative.
