Xyxle
B2B platform for exchanging structured product information between manufacturers, suppliers and dealers.
Digital platforms
When processes, users and systems need to come together on one platform.
Digital platforms connect people, data, processes and existing systems.
They provide a central point of access to information and services, automate workflows and form the basis for digital business models, customer portals, dealer solutions and internal specialist applications.
BitStone develops platforms that work technically and can also be operated, extended and adapted to new requirements over the long term.
Typical starting points
When does a digital platform make sense?
A digital platform makes sense when:
- multiple processes currently run across different systems or rely on manual workarounds,
- customers, partners or dealers need a central digital point of access,
- data from different applications needs to be brought together,
- existing solutions no longer scale or are reaching their technical limits,
- a digital business model needs to be established or expanded,
- numerous interfaces and breaks between systems slow down processes,
- an existing platform needs modernising,
- operations and ongoing development need to be organised professionally for the long term.
Typical questions from our customers
- Do we need a new platform, or can we develop our existing systems further?
- Which processes should be brought together on a common platform?
- Which existing systems and data sources need to be integrated?
- Which architecture will be scalable and maintainable over the long term?
- How flexible must the platform be to accommodate new products, markets or user groups?
- Cloud, on-premises or hybrid?
- Which roles, permissions and security requirements need to be considered?
- How do we avoid creating new technical dependencies?
- How do we organise operations, support and continuous development?

How we work
From the initial idea to long-term operations
Understand
We analyse the business model, user groups, processes, existing systems, data and objectives.
Design
Together, we define the target vision, architecture, roles, integrations and a sensible implementation sequence.
Develop
We implement the platform iteratively, integrate existing systems and continuously test quality, security and performance.
Launch
We support migration, rollout and the transition into production.
Operate and develop
If required, we take responsibility for operations, support, monitoring, optimisation and continuous platform development.
What makes a good digital platform
Technically robust. Relevant to the business.
A good platform combines several requirements:
- clear business value
- intuitive user experience
- clean system integration
- scalable architecture
- strong security
- reliable performance
- good maintainability
- clear roles and permissions
- consistent data
- long-term extensibility
What matters is an architecture that fits your business model and future development, rather than maximum technical complexity.
Clear customer value
Less complexity. Connected processes. Greater scalability.
A well-designed digital platform provides:
- connected end-to-end processes
- a central point of access for users, customers or partners
- more consistent data
- less manual work and fewer breaks between systems
- faster introduction of new offerings
- better integration of existing systems
- greater scalability
- predictable operations and continuous development
The goal is a digital foundation that grows with your business over the long term.
Technologies and expertise
Depending on the starting point and requirements, we use technologies and practices including:
- Cloud platforms
- Microservices
- APIs
- Databases
- Identity & Access Management
- AI integration
- DevOps
- CI/CD
- Monitoring
- Security
- Web & mobile frontends
- System integration
- Automated testing
The technology follows the task, rather than the other way around.
