This is us
Founded in 2017 by Benedikt and Claudia, Xentral has developed from an Augsburg based startup to a company with an international team of around 230 Xentraleers. All together we are shaping the world of ERP by building a lean and scalable software that simplifies your business processes.
Our Story
When our founders, who previously founded the Embedded Project GmbH, a microcontroller business, struggled to find an ERP system that met their needs, they took a unique approach. Rather than relying on existing solutions, they decided to develop their own. This decision led to the creation of Xentral, an ERP software built on open-source technologies. Designed initially for internal use, the system was intended to be adaptable, allowing for easy expansion as the business evolved.
Over time, as customers took notice of the software, demand grew. The founders, recognizing the potential, began tailoring the system to meet the needs of their clients. What started as a personal solution quickly gained traction, and the demand for the software soon outpaced that for their original hardware products.
In 2017, the decision was made to pivot the business model, and the hardware division was shut down in favor of focusing entirely on the ERP software. This strategic shift proved successful, as Xentral grew into a multimillion-dollar company. It is now backed by prominent investors, including Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, and Meritech Capital.
Xentral is a lean ERP cloud software that helps small and medium-sized enterprises automate and simplify their day-to-day operations. The easy-to-use business software consolidates all orders, inventory, payments and shipping processes in one place: creating more time, higher sales and stronger customer satisfaction. Simpler, more intuitive and more flexible: with over 1,000 functions and interfaces to all renowned tech tools, every business can digitise and automate its individual processes step-by-step themselves with Xentral ERP. Since our launch in 2017, we have developed into one of the leading providers of scalable SaaS solutions and nearly 2,000 customers have already processed over 71 million orders through the Xentral platform. This corresponds to a sales volume of almost 3 billion euros.

Es wird immer auf das Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeiter geachtet, und es gibt genügend Möglichkeiten, die eigenen Skills zu entfalten und zu fördern.
Die Möglichkeit, schnell Verantwortung zu übernehmen und echte Verbesserungen im Produkt und in den Prozessen umzusetzen.
honestly i loved the onboarding phase, it was very well organized, you get all your questions asked, even those u didn't know about. it was definitely the best onboarding to a new company i have ever had.
after being here for a little less than 6months, I would say I am very happy with the team, colleagues, the comunication and transparency within the company, and more than all: with the projects i am working on.
Overall, Xentral is an excellent employer. Their remote-first approach offers great flexibility, fostering a healthy work-life balance. Management maintains an open, peer-to-peer relationship with employees, and they prioritize investing in their existing team members. The company also values transparency, ensuring clear and honest communication across all levels
- Transparenter und schneller Bewerbungsprozess
- Sehr angenehme Arbeitsumgebung
- Remote work ist immer möglich
- Eigenes Budget für Arbeitsmaterialien
28 Urlaubstage...
Sometime Xentral can move away from the start-up image as it is not a start-up anymore. Some benefits are standard and Xentral can also add some more.
- Only 28 days of holiday. Most companies in IT offer 30 days.
- No sustainable processes in the departments/interdepartmental
Good for locals and vertical hierarchy structured company
(Non German speakers, expats plz stay away in my opinion, locals will be favoured over to you later if not sooner, Rather be wise and utilize your efforts somewhere else :) ...)
Managers of managers culture. Instead of real work expect only meetings from Product/Srum and then can ask why are we not delivering work and again spend more hours in Retrospective meeting to find why we didnt deliver work :)). I ...
No strategy, constant changes of direction. The founders bring in VPs but then do not let them do their work which results in VPs leaving... Or they fire them because they blame them for their decisions. Within one year 5 VPs left or were kicked out. Now there is only consultants left in the leadership who have never worked in Saas, nor in Ecommerce or ERP before.
To work for this management is so unpleasant and unsatisfying that only shareholders ...
Mach bitte nicht so viel Druck mit KI überall, langsam kann man das nicht mehr hören.
Besseres Zeitmanagement bei Meetings: Fünf Meetings pro Tag sind zu viel und behindern die Produktivität. Eine Reduzierung der Meetings auf das Notwendigste würde mehr Raum für konzentriertes Arbeiten schaffen.
Förderung des Teamzusammenhalts: Es sollte mehr Wert auf einen positiven Kollegenzusammenhalt gelegt werden. Team-Building-Maßnahmen und klarere Strukturen zur Konfliktlösung könnten das Arbeitsklima deutlich verbessern.
Klare Leistungsanforderungen und Unterstützung: Anstatt Mitarbeiter wegen vermeintlicher Underperformance zu entlassen, wäre es hilfreich, klare Leistungsanforderungen zu kommunizieren und gezielte Schulungen oder Coachings anzubieten, um sie besser ...
- Let the experts do what they do best and stop interfering. And do hire experts...
- Put more focus on usability - put ideas through the wringer and take a hard look at what you want to implement. Is it really user-friendly or does it just look good? Does it make sense? This will slow down the development process but the customers and the support team will probably appreciate it.
- Try to retain the associates and really listen ...
Many improvements over the last year, so if Xentral continues this way, it will be and remain a great place to work
Darauf vertrauen, dass VPs mit 20 Jahren Erfahrung wissen, was sie tun! Und dass Grundlagen Aufbau nicht über Nacht geht. Ein Unternehmen kann man nicht nur Remote aufbauen und auch nicht ohne große Vision und Leidenschaft.
Der am besten bewertete Faktor von Xentral ERP Software ist Kollegenzusammenhalt mit 4,4 Punkten (basierend auf 43 Bewertungen).
Man unterstützt sich gegenseitig. Teams arbeiten lösungsorientiert zusammen. Hilfsbereitschaft ist Standard.
Es wird wirklich viel getan, um immer wieder auch als Menschen im echten Leben zusammenzukommen, egal ob Remote Aktionen, Teamevents oder das jährliche Firmenevent. Das HR Team macht einen super Job und setzt immer wieder tolle Ideen um, damit wir wirklich Verbindung zueinander aufbauen und halten können. Das merkt man auch im Arbeitsalltag - geprägt von Professionalität, Offenheit und Hilfsbereitschaft.
after being here for almost 6 months, i can see there are good dynamics of different characters at least within the engineering team where people complete each other in a smooth way.
Der Zusammenhalt unter den Kollegen ist herausragend. Es herrscht ein Geist der Zusammenarbeit, der sowohl professionell als auch persönlich bereichernd ist.
One of the really great things at Xentral - great team and you can always count on your team mates.
Der am schlechtesten bewertete Faktor von Xentral ERP Software ist Kommunikation mit 3,7 Punkten (basierend auf 45 Bewertungen).
Depends. There are regular meetings explaining company results and new developments which is a good thing. At the same time leavers were never communicated beforehand so you always got surprised by leaving messages on the last day of employment. In some cases this did not allow for proper handovers.
Management communicates financial figures very openly, which is great. The reasons behind decisions are not always communicated well enough. Cross-departmental communication is often extremely bad and chaotic, where departments are not aligned.
Theres a weekly meeting for transparency. This meeting is also used for accusatory speeches of the CEO, where he calls the real obstacles and problems that employees face in their daily work "excuses" that he will no longer accept.
Die Gründer sprechen schlechtes Englisch - daher bleibt Xentral deutsch und wird nicht international. Die Kommunikation in Englisch ist echt verwirrend.
Die Kommunikation wird leider immer intransparenter und Entscheidungen werden langsam top down kommuniziert
Karriere/Weiterbildung wird mit durchschnittlich 3,7 Punkten bewertet (basierend auf 31 Bewertungen).
Viele Chancen, neue Themen zu übernehmen. Wenn du etwas vorantreiben willst, bekommst du die Möglichkeit dazu. Coaching, interne Formate und externe Trainings unterstützen dabei.
Es gibt ein individuelles Budget für Weiterbildungen. Dies und wie man es nutzen kann, ist sehr transparent intern dokumentiert. Man wird angehalten, sich eigenständig mit dem Thema Weiterbildung zu beschäftigen und in die Eigenverantwortung zu gehen.
Currently a training budget for online learning is available but the timeframe between announcing the initiative and implementing it was very long.
Career opportunities exist but it's undefined how you actually get promoted. There is a competency model but it's more a theoretical thing.
As everywhere: there's so much more that could be done. Xentral listened to the demands for more people development measures and implemented a learning tool. There's a leadership training, training for hiring managers and a freshly implemented mentoring tool.
Every role is also sorted into a competency model with career options and feedback cycles.
Karrieremöglichkeiten sind gut, Talente werden gerne auch entsprechend ihrer Fähigkeiten in der Firma versetzt, wenn sich diese umorientieren möchten. Weiterbildung eher intern möglich
