The work behind the claim
Six domains. Decades of production deployments. Named clients, not case study archetypes.
AI & Automation
More than 20 million tasks automated monthly across production deployments. Shopware’s AI Co-Pilot built with Gradion’s engineering team. Invoice processing at 10,000 documents a day. CV screening at 700 per day. In the AI era, a two-engineer team with the right tooling ships what used to require five. Gradion builds the systems that run the automation - not the pitch decks about it.
ExploreSoftware Engineering
From a single engineer validating an MVP to a 150-person embedded organisation running 50+ production deployments a day. 320 engineers across Vietnam, Thailand, Egypt, Germany, and Singapore. 1,000+ solutions shipped. Teams assembled in two weeks, matched by domain - not rotated in from an unrelated project. The follow-the-sun model means Friday’s decision in Hamburg moves forward the same evening in Ho Chi Minh City.
ExploreTechnical Consulting & Recovery
A good doctor examines before prescribing. Gradion assesses the system, produces the report - what is broken, what needs to change, in what order - and then fixes it. The same firm. A Swiss credit platform re-architected in 8 weeks, passing a Big Four security audit without material revisions. A private equity portfolio stabilized within three days of close. 300+ core banking applications assessed before a multi-year cloud migration. Assessment and delivery without the handoff.
ExploreManufacturing & Industrial Automation
Gradion co-founded ACE - Vietnam’s Automation Centre of Excellence - in Binh Duong, surrounded by hundreds of active factories. Schaeffler chose Gradion as the SYNAOS implementation partner for the first AGV deployment in Asia-Pacific. From KUKA and Omron robots to MES integration and industrial cybersecurity, this is where the work runs on factory floors, not in slides.
ExploreTravel Platforms
Gradion’s founder built and sold Swoodoo to KAYAK. NFQ (represented by Gradion) then built KAYAK’s engineering team for over a decade - 2 billion+ consumer queries a year, 60 markets. HomeToGo grew from founding to a EUR 1 billion IPO with Gradion as engineering partner throughout. Twenty years inside the travel industry, not watching from the sideline.
ExploreCommerce & Payments
Shopware’s AI Co-Pilot. commercetools Studio and its global DevOps operations. The Swiss payment app’s multi-platform merchant plugin framework. The infrastructure provider’s gateway and developer experience. More than $10 billion in GMV flows annually through systems Gradion has built or operates. The infrastructure behind European commerce, not a reseller of it.

Joscha Krug
CEO · Makaira
Admittedly, I was initially quite skeptical about whether it could work with the differences in time zones, different culture, and using English as the primary language. Five years later, our Gradion colleagues have become indispensable. Thanks to Gradion, we were able to expand our team flexibility and integrate it as a permanent part of our company. Among the positives; we discovered other cultures, and by using English as our working language, we were able to recruit new employees across Europe. The Gradion team, with their decades of experience in building international teams, helped us benefit on all levels. And all of this with a service that feels almost like family.
Manuel Ludvigsen-Diekmann
CTO · Shopmacher
The success of our cooperation lies in the chemistry. Gradion has helped us bring together the right people with the right experience and the right tech stack. This has enabled all employees to work together equally and remain technically up-to-date across continental boundaries for more than 5 years.

As a fast-growing digital commerce service provider, Gradion has been our strategic partner in scaling and sustaining our teams. The challenge was to integrate large teams into our processes and standards in a short period of time. Gradion's management provided intensive support throughout this process. The flexibility and adaptability of our Gradion colleagues played a key role in resolving our bottlenecks quickly and efficiently. With Gradion, we experience a partnership of collaboration at eye level.
Dennis Höting
Director Product Development · Shopware

The attitude to strive to find ways to improve our product is very good! The team and the PM are dedicated to our company and product. We see great progress in the way we work together and what the team gets done. Overall a productive and professional work!
Sven Müller
Staff Engineer · commercetools
All good! Whenever I need support from Gradion side, I get all the help I need in a timely fashion. Kudos to the PM for actively supporting me and contributing to my current task to organize a team event in Germany. Whenever I needed support for this task, he was available to discuss and provide quick and useful consultation.
Franziska Hilmer
Product Owner · Louis
It is a pleasure working with the team. They are focused and very driven. I'm looking forward to continuing the good and goal oriented work.
Marc Costea
CEO · Qilin.Cloud
I'm so proud of how the team keeps on developing. It's amazing to see colleagues not only identifying where action is needed but also taking these tasks on completely independently. They're so brave to question things on their own, which not only leads to an improved development process but ultimately to a better product. I think it's because the whole team gets what the product is and the value it brings to our customers, and they're so passionate about it.
Melanie Friedrich
Product Owner · Roadsurfer
WolfPack did a great job by managing the sprints, releasing features and talking to stakeholders on their own while I was on vacation for 3 weeks.

Tell us what you're building.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute technical conversation - no NDAs, no pre-sales theatre. An honest assessment of whether and how we can help.
