It all started with a broken printer.

Benedikt and Christian were engineers who ran into a wall everyone in the industry knew but nobody had solved. A device breaks, the manual is nowhere, support is unreachable. What started as a frustration with office equipment quickly revealed something much bigger: the exact same problem existed in medtech, where the stakes were infinitely higher.

No venture capital, no fancy office. Just two founders in Munich building alongside the hospitals and device manufacturers who trusted them early.

The pattern was everywhere. In every industry the same invisible failure: the device moves through the world but its entire history stays behind. sqanit became the answer to that, giving every device a permanent digital twin accessible with a single QR scan.

Built in Munich, proven in the field. Today sqanit is trusted by Stryker, Henry Schein and Ambu across 57 countries and since 2025 the platform has been scaling faster than ever. We still have the same mission we started with. We just have 1.2 million devices to prove it was right.

And because QR codes are at the core of everything we do, the next step was a natural one. We launched dpp.cloud to help manufacturers meet the EU Digital Product Passport regulation, turning compliance into something every device already speaks: a scan.
