For the energy
world of tomorrow.
Made with 🤍
in Cologne.

We enable companies with complex products, services and processes to simplify their B2C and B2B business.

The project dear to our hearts, with which the epilot story began, is the energy transition. We believe that on the way to more climate protection, a digital foundation is needed that simplifies the sale and technical implementation of renewable and energy-efficient solutions for customers and companies. This is the only way to make the energy transition scalable.

The need to reduce complexity exists in other industries as well. Thanks to the high flexibility of our software-as-a-service, epilot therefore supports all companies that want to simplify processes and make products and services a digital experience for their customers.

Our commitment

Under the title “we take climate action,” the organization “Leaders For Climate Action” has drawn up a catalog of measures that companies can use to reduce their carbon footprint.

As a tech company, we already meet many requirements – which is why we received our Climate Action badge. Important for us: Digital services run on green energy, as cloud servers achieve 5-6x higher energy efficiency than traditional on-premise services.

We take care at the corporate and individual level to minimize our carbon footprint through various measures in our daily business.

Our values

Costumer First

Customers are our top priority. We continue to develop the epilot 360 software in collaboration with our customers and are constantly reinventing ourselves.

Honesty, Openness & Feedback

We attach great importance to open and honest feedback. The continuous exchange of ideas enables every epilot to develop and surpass themselves.

Think and act like an owner

Each individual epilot proactively assumes responsibility and thus contributes to the success of the company. It is important to keep the general goal in mind for each individual task: to drive epilot forward.

We are a team

At epilot, we work as a team. We value respectful interaction with one another, drive each other on and tackle every challenge with determination. This enables us to successfully master every task together and continue to develop.

Show, don't tell

At epilot, we follow the principle of "show, don't tell". Instead of talking at length about what we want to do or achieve, we work purposefully on concrete solutions. This enables us to get closer to our goals step by step.
