How Baumüller transformed their business
The Challenge
Baumüller needed to compete with software-first automation providers offering complete solutions – not just hardware. They also wanted to modernize software distribution without losing control of the customer relationship.
The Transformation
Using FLECS, Baumüller launched their own branded software marketplace in just weeks. This new platform enabled them to monetize software modules, streamline transactions, and manage licenses – all while keeping full control over branding and customer data.
“FLECS gives us a direct channel to sell software like our OPC UA server. Transactions run out-of-the-box, and the backend makes managing products, licenses, and customers simple and efficient.”
Your brand, your marketplace
Launch a branded digital marketplace for your industrial components in minutes, not months.
