About Northwind
We build software for the people who keep industry running.
Northwind was founded by control engineers who were tired of brittle SCADA systems. We ship the platform we wish we'd had.
Our story
Founded in Berlin in 2018.
Northwind started in a single warehouse in Berlin-Adlershof, working with three pilot customers across automotive and chemicals. Today the platform runs in 38 countries and orchestrates more than 12,000 industrial assets in real time.
How we operate
Our engineering team is distributed across Europe and ships from a single trunk. Our customer success team is regional — we believe a plant manager in Stuttgart deserves a partner who knows the German energy market, not a generic CSM.
Our principles
Reliability is the feature. Everything else is decoration.
Open standards beat proprietary lock-in, every time.
A roadmap shaped by the loudest customer is no roadmap at all.
Engineers belong in the room when commercial decisions are made.
