Q8 Tech Stack

European energy and mobility network scaling cloud infrastructure and payment systems

Oil and Gas Antwerp, Flemish Region 501–1,000 employees Privately Held

Q8 operates ~700 fuel stations across Benelux plus lubricant production and airport fueling services, now executing a large-scale cloud transformation (hybrid Azure environment, data architecture roadmap). The tech stack is enterprise-grade (SAP S/4HANA, Business Objects, Dynamics 365, Power BI) with infrastructure-layer protocols (ISO 8583, ISO 20022, IPsec, MPLS) — typical of a payment-heavy, geographically distributed retail network. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, sales, and ops, with a senior-skewed leadership mix, reflecting both the complexity of the infrastructure overhaul and expansion into e-mobility and sustainable fuels.
