Its offering combines professional services (consultancy, project delivery, managed services with 24/7 monitoring and multi-year contracts) with a portfolio of proprietary software platforms, including the digitalNXT AI suite (Vision, Search, ChatSearch, Agency), the Motar low-code model-based development platform, SmartECS for container terminal orchestration, Intermodal TMS, Terminal Operating System (TOS), InfraNXT, MIDAS, HoloNXT, conNXT IoT, Anomaly Surfer, and ContinuOTy for OT cybersecurity.

The company generates revenue through enterprise project-based and managed-services contracts (services) plus subscription/recurring revenue from proprietary software products; nearshoring delivery is handled through ICT Strypes in Bulgaria and Portugal. It is wholly owned by a consortium led by Dutch private equity firm NPM Capital following a 2021 take-private at €14.50 per share, and has continued an active tuck-in acquisition strategy (Fourtress in 2022, Modality in 2025, DWG in 2025) alongside product expansion into generative-AI agents and autonomous logistics pilots.
