Atlatos

What Atlatos does

Atlatos GmbH is a German SaaS vendor founded in 2006 and headquartered in Runkel-Dehrn that delivers an integrated, cloud-based business travel management platform to corporate customers, travel agencies, and franchise partners. Its modular product suite comprises Atlatos Profi Traveller (an online booking engine for travel requests, bookings, and policy-compliant approvals across flights, hotels, rail, and rental cars), Atlatos Expense Engine (digital expense reporting with OCR-based receipt processing, automated German per-diem calculations under EStG, and approval workflows), Atlatos Online Agent (a mid-office tool for travel agencies managing corporate client bookings), and the Atlatos mobile app for iOS and Android. The platform aggregates content from over 1 million hotels, 300+ airlines including Amadeus GDS plus NDC and low-cost carriers, 16 rail providers, and major car rental brands, and integrates with SAP, DATEV, Navision, ADP, AirPlus, and Diamant for downstream finance workflows, with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, and GoBD compliance.

Atlatos monetizes primarily through tiered monthly subscription licenses (Basic, Professional, Premium) for Profi Traveller and Expense Engine, augmented by franchise onboarding and recurring fees from European franchise partners, transaction-based service fees configured by travel agency customers, and project-based professional services for custom development. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with dedicated account managers, a channel network of 30+ travel agencies (including Lufthansa City Center, DERPART, and Kuoni), and a German-certified franchise program granting exclusive territorial rights per European country to enable international expansion. The company reports over 1,500 corporate customers, more than 900,000 supported users since inception, and over €250 million in annual processed travel volume across served markets (primarily DACH with active expansion into Italy and Spain).

The company is led by founder and CEO Esther Stehning, has 11-50 employees, and has remained privately held and organically funded since 2006 with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward internationalization: an International Business Development Manager was appointed in October 2025, Italian language support was added in November 2025, Renfe was integrated in July 2025, and an EU-wide trademark was secured in April 2025, all layered on top of continued content expansion and light AI feature additions (OCR receipt processing, Chatty chatbot, Travalyst CO2 calculation).
