Zgoll: Gmbh

What Zgoll: Gmbh does

zgoll: GmbH is a privately held German media-technology integrator headquartered in Korschenbroich, founded in 2010 and operating with approximately 30 employees. The company designs and integrates audiovisual workplaces, collaboration environments, and meeting-room technology for German enterprises and public-sector clients, anchored by a 1,000 m² showroom and experience center called zgoll:blecherhof. Core technical competencies include Cisco collaboration hardware (including Europe's first Cisco Webex Room Panorama test center), Microsoft Teams Rooms interoperability, and proprietary AR-based software under the zintoo: brand for indoor navigation, workplace booking, and conference-room reservation.

The company's revenue model combines project-based hardware sales and integration services for conference and meeting rooms, professional services billed hourly or as fixed-price contracts, Cisco license brokering, and an emerging subscription/recurring revenue stream from zintoo: software licensing. Distribution is primarily direct field sales targeting enterprise and government accounts in Germany, supplemented by the Cisco Collaboration Hotspots demo network at partner furniture dealers across ten German cities, event-driven demand generation (Vitra Beta Tour 2026 across 11 cities, webinars, architect training), and a partner hub for Cisco resellers.

Customer segments span enterprise conference and meeting rooms, modern workplace and smart-office deployments, public-sector and government agencies, and media/publishing companies. Named customers include Europa-Delegierte, Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf, Funke Mediengruppe, Handelsblatt, BP Lingen, CID Freigericht, BGF Köln, and Projekt Rheinland. Strategic partnerships are concentrated with Cisco and Microsoft (technology/integration), Vitra and Walter Knoll (joint go-to-market), and a network of office-furniture resellers hosting collaboration demo locations. The company is founder-led, with Michael Zgoll as Managing Director and no disclosed external investment.
