What Awenko:360 does

Awenko:360, operated by AWENKO GmbH & Co. KG – Gesellschaft für anwendbare Konzepte, is a German privately held software provider of web-based quality management (QMS/CAQ/BPM/CMS) software headquartered in Löhne, Lower Saxony, with approximately 15 employees under CEO Holger Schütt. The platform combines digital forms, checklist management, audit workflows, document control, supplier evaluation, complaint handling, time and maintenance management and HACCP/IFS/BRC/ISO-aligned compliance in a modular system, and is delivered either as SaaS hosting or as an on-premises installation against SQL Server/IIS. An offline-capable native mobile application for iOS and Android extends data capture to production floors and field locations, with sensor integration via Bluetooth, network and probe thermometers and ERP data exchange with SAP and Microsoft Navision.

The company sells primarily into the German Mittelstand with a strong vertical emphasis on food processing (meat, dairy, bakery, frozen foods, produce) and additional exposure to hospitality, construction and healthcare. Named reference customers include bofrost, Iglo, Bonduelle, dennree, Bauer Gruppe, Steinemann Convenience, The Dolder Grand, Emsland Landgeflügel, Heidemark, Friesenkrone Feinkost, Wernsing Feinkost, brand Qualitätsfleisch, Kamps Bäckerei, St. Augustinus Gruppe and TÜV Süd, with more than 100 customers and 138 projects across five countries.

Go-to-market combines a direct sales motion anchored by free online or on-site presentations with a partner network of cooperation and sales resellers that is being actively expanded. Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions and perpetual on-premises licenses; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed and the company has raised no external funding to date. In 2025 Awenko introduced an AI-supported knowledge database for quality management, presented at its 15th-anniversary KickStarter Day event co-hosted with ifp Privates Institut für Produktqualität, signalling early steps toward AI-augmented functionality rather than an AI-native rebuild.
