What Exxas does

Exxas AG is a privately held Swiss software company founded in 2009 by Stefan Dettwiler and Pascal Jenni, headquartered in Schlieren-Zürich and operating across the DACH region plus French-speaking markets in France and Italy. The company is 100% employee-owned and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investors. Exxas sells a cloud-based holistic business platform that combines ERP and CRM functionality for small and medium-sized enterprises, integrating eight functional modules — Central, Sales, Marketing, Service, Projects, Products, Human Resources, and Finance — into a single unified application. The platform runs on three georedundant Swiss data centers, holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and is certified Swiss Made Software, positioning data sovereignty and regulatory compliance as core selling points.

The technology stack includes a public REST API released in 2020, an App Marketplace launched in 2023 with version 5.0, mobile applications for iOS and Android, and an Outlook add-in that connects via the Microsoft Graph API. Exxas monetizes primarily through per-seat SaaS subscriptions, with additional revenue from fixed-price service packages, multi-year implementation projects, and on-demand consulting billed in 15-minute increments. Distribution combines a self-serve free trial and direct sales for mid-market accounts with an indirect channel of certified trust/accounting partners, IT service providers, and solution partners who resell and implement the platform; distributor integrations with ALSO and Ingram Micro extend reach into the IT services vertical, and a partnership with justitia.swiss serves law-firm customers. As of 2025 the platform is used daily by more than 10,000 users, up from roughly 5,000 in 2020, with reported 34% average productivity gains for implementing SMEs.
