Building automation, smart lighting, and energy distribution across 100+ countries
Gewiss manufactures building automation, smart lighting, and energy management systems for residential and commercial markets, operating as a group of 2,200+ employees across industrial sites and distributors globally. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (ECC, S/4HANA, BTP, Fiori, HANA) paired with PLM and MES systems—a pattern typical of capital-intensive industrial manufacturers. Active migration from SAP ECC to S/4HANA, combined with network integration projects from recent acquisitions and a shift toward SAP BTP for modern UI/UX, reveals infrastructure modernization underway to support post-acquisition consolidation.
Gewiss is a privately held industrial manufacturer headquartered in Cenate Sotto, Lombardy, Italy. The company designs and manufactures solutions for home and building automation, energy protection and distribution, smart lighting, and e-mobility infrastructure.

Gewiss uses SAP (ECC, S/4HANA, HANA, BTP, Fiori), PLM, MES, AutoCAD, Jira, Git, and Microsoft Office suite. The company is migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA and implementing SAP BTP with Fiori/UI5 interfaces.
