api GmbH is a 30-year-old IT distributor operating across Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden with ~900 employees and relationships with 400+ manufacturers. The stack (Salesforce, DATEV, HPE, basic web tech) and hiring pattern—19 open sales roles against 3 engineering positions—reflect a sales-and-operations-driven model focused on channel expansion rather than product innovation. Active projects around cloud business development and marketplace optimization signal a shift toward direct-to-market and digital channels alongside traditional VAD relationships.
