Eyeled

What Eyeled does

Eyeled GmbH is a privately held German mobile IT specialist founded in 2000 as a spin-off of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and headquartered in Saarbrücken. The company operates two core product lines: mobiPlan, a web-based digital documentation platform with companion iOS and Android apps used for on-site building inspections, hazardous materials surveys (including LAGA PN 98 sampling protocols), fire protection walks, and construction supervision, with automatic generation of Word, Excel, and PDF reports; and eyeGuide, a modular event and conference app system serving trade shows, congresses, and museums with interactive hall plans, exhibitor directories, matchmaking, networking tools, and offline access. Both products are built on shared reusable components and standardized interfaces and are deployed on German Tier 3 data centers with a 99.8% server availability guarantee and GDPR-compliant data processing.

Eyeled sells to B2B customers in two distinct verticals. In the events vertical, it provides custom event apps on a project/recurring basis for major German and European trade show organizers including Messe München (multiple events), Frankfurter Buchmesse (partnership since 2003), Spielwarenmesse Nürnberg, ANGA COM, EULAR, and KWF. In the regulated documentation vertical, it sells mobiPlan subscriptions (typically annual, with monthly termination options) and professional services to fire protection experts, hazardous materials consultants, construction supervisors, environmental laboratories, and public-sector clients, supported by strategic partnerships with Defensio Ignis (fire protection content), ADS BauProCheck (construction software integration), and GVSS trade association membership.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring mobiPlan SaaS subscriptions, project-based eyeGuide event app fees, and custom software engineering services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; a 30-day free mobiPlan trial and webinars serve as top-of-funnel acquisition. The company employs 11-50 staff, has delivered 250+ mobile IT projects over 25 years, and is led by Managing Director Christoph Bartelmus. Eyeled has no disclosed outside funding, operates profitably on private balance sheet economics, and celebrated its 25th anniversary in July 2025.
