Headquartered in Utrecht since 2022, the Dutch entity specializes in application modernization and software engineering for large Dutch organizations, with a team of 12 engineers (as of 2024/2025) and a named client base that includes Alliander, Triodos, the Dutch Tax Authority (Belastingdienst), and Alphabet (BMW). Axxes is part of a broader Benelux group that includes sister companies Euricom, HCS, Kangaroot, Xifeo, and BDC, which together field more than 400 consultants across software development, quality assurance, infrastructure, DevOps, cloud, architecture, and project management.

The company's core technology stack spans Java (Spring, Hibernate), .NET, frontend frameworks (Angular, React, Vue), microservices, and cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure), with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and Snowflake for data engineering. A differentiator is a proprietary App Modernization Toolchain that integrates Renovate, OWASP Dependency-Check, Docker image monitoring, and Kubernetes configuration scanning into a unified dashboard used to automate or score dependency updates and security remediations in legacy modernization engagements.

Axxes generates revenue through professional services on a staffing and project basis, charging consultants at negotiated daily rates into client engagements ranging from single-consultant placements to full development team delivery. The GTM is enterprise field sales, targeting large organizations in verticals such as energy/utilities, banking, government, automotive, logistics/port, aviation, and manufacturing. Notable enterprise solutions delivered include the APICA digital twin for Port of Antwerp-Bruges, the Maxos Calculation Tool for Philips Lighting, Ecosaver for Cohedron, the Innoptus Solar Team navigation app, and AvioBook Connect for the aviation sector serving more than 100,000 users. Axxes is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
