What dots&bits does

dots&bits is the client-facing brand of Lexagon Group GmbH (Germany) and Lexagon Capital Partners Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), operating from Berlin with a 251-500 employee base that includes roughly 300 consultants, designers and software developers. The company delivers AI-enabled enterprise software and digital platforms to large organizations, combining nearshore engineering teams based in Lisbon and Jakarta with commercial entities in Munich, Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul to support clients across Europe and Asia. Its customer base spans telecom, financial services, healthcare, energy, retail, media, government and industrial buyers, with named logos including Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Orange, Cisco, Coca-Cola, L'Oréal, Abbott, Santander, SCHUFA, SK Telecom, 50Hertz and ITDZ Berlin, among others.

The product surface is organized around three integrated offerings. Coding Factory is the core delivery engine, combining enterprise software engineering with a next-generation agentic build pipeline and around-the-clock execution. Enterprise AI is the strategic layer covering AI architecture, data strategy, interoperability and compliance, including AI analytics, automation and agentic AI, AI copilots and LLM applications, and embedded AI in digital products. Forge is the governed AI delivery workbench that sits across both, turning AI platforms, enterprise systems and specialist agents into structured workflows with human approvals, evidence and traceable decisions. Delivery is anchored in an ISO27001-compliant environment and the company is GDPR-compliant with separate EU and Asia Data Protection Officers.

Revenue is generated through enterprise professional services engagements, with an emerging subscription/recurring component tied to AI solutions and Forge. GTM is primarily direct enterprise field sales with consultative discovery calls, supplemented by a self-serve Forge walkthrough flow and a corporate website presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The model relies on three featured development partners (findmore, layer8, outcloud) to flex additional engineering capacity, and the company claims a 3-5x productivity multiplier versus traditional delivery approaches.

Core offering

dots&bits is an enterprise software delivery partner that combines dedicated nearshore engineering teams in Lisbon and Jakarta with local market expertise and an AI-assisted delivery pipeline to build enterprise-grade digital platforms. Its portfolio centers on the Coding Factory service (enterprise software engineering at scale), the Enterprise AI practice (AI architecture, data strategy, interoperability, and compliance), and the Forge governed AI delivery workbench that operationalizes AI use across the delivery lifecycle.

Product overview

dots&bits offers enterprise AI-enabled software delivery through two integrated offerings: Coding Factory is the core delivery platform combining enterprise software engineering with nearshore teams and an agentic AI-assisted build pipeline, while Enterprise AI provides the strategic foundation covering AI architecture, data strategy and compliance. Forge serves as the governed delivery workbench that extends both offerings, enabling planning, build, testing, knowledge reuse and governance across the full software delivery lifecycle. The three products work together: Enterprise AI establishes the AI foundation, Coding Factory executes enterprise engineering, and Forge provides the controlled delivery layer connecting AI capabilities to production outcomes.
