Wholesale building-materials group operating 30+ regional locations across northern Germany
bauXpert is a cooperative of 23 mid-market building-supply distributors across northern Germany, operating 30+ locations with 1,100+ employees total. The central office in Bad Bramstedt provides shared services—procurement, finance, IT, marketing, process management—and runs an internal academy for workforce training. Tech stack is traditional Windows/Citrix infrastructure (Sophos, Veeam, NinjaOne, HPE Alletra), with hiring concentrated in operations roles at mid-level seniority, suggesting the organization is scaling operational support and IT services delivery across its distributed network rather than pursuing new product development.
bauXpert operates as a central organization supporting a federation of independent building-materials merchants across northern Germany. The group serves tradespeople and construction companies through its member companies, each with its own storefront and sales force. Central functions include group procurement (supplier management and negotiation), finance and data administration, IT operations, marketing strategy, and workforce development through its academy. The structure—23 separate member companies coordinated through a shared center—requires robust central IT infrastructure, standardized processes, and ongoing training across a geographically distributed workforce.
bauXpert's infrastructure stack includes Sophos Central for security, Windows Server and Hyper-V for virtualization, Citrix for remote access, Veeam for backup, HPE Alletra for storage, NinjaOne for device management, and Microsoft Exchange for email.
bauXpert's central office is located in Bad Bramstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The group operates more than 30 locations across northern Germany with 1,100+ total employees across its 23 member companies.
