Combridge

What Combridge does

Combridge, legally COMbridge IT Consulting GmbH, is a privately held German IT services firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Wolfsburg, with a stated workforce of 160 experienced employees operating across 13 near-shore locations in Europe. The company delivers two intertwined businesses: a professional services practice centered on SAP ERP consulting and implementation (including S/4HANA), custom software development, UX/UI design, and software testing for enterprise clients; and a proprietary hospitality software product suite led by the modular Hospitality Platform that combines an API, administration frontends for ticket management, and a club-branded VIP and service app, complemented by TeamAdviser, CompanyAdviser, and MyFastlane Event. Its go-to-market is enterprise field-sales direct engagement delivered through near-shore locations, with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue streams spanning professional services engagements and subscription/recurring software products.

The firm's enterprise client base includes Volkswagen, Audi, Continental, IBM, Konica Minolta, and Red Bull, while its hospitality products are deployed across multiple German football and ice hockey clubs including Borussia Dortmund, VfL Wolfsburg, FC Schalke 04, Hamburger SV, VfL Bochum, Borussia Mönchengladbach, EHC München, EHC Wolfsburg, and the sports marketing firm Sportfive. A flagship engagement is the TI Syncro vehicle parts list system developed in collaboration with Volkswagen, where Combridge continues to provide conceptualization, implementation, development, consulting, rollout, and ongoing support. The firm holds SAP Silver Partner status and participates in the Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit (Alliance for Cyber Security) initiative, and is co-founded by Frank Bachmann and Rainer Gruhlke.
