"Over the past five years of successful collaboration, we have built up a strong basis of trust," says ZF Head of Development Dr. Dirk Walliser, explaining the expansion of the commitment. "As a specialist in connected mobility with an excellent reputation among customers in the automotive industry, doubleSlash is an innovative and long-term partner in our software ecosystem."
"Together with ZF as one of the leading global providers of technologies for the mobility of the future, we can continue our course of sustainable growth in the best possible way," says doubleSlash Managing Director Konrad Krafft. "Our customers will benefit from even better coordinated software solutions and will continue to have us at their side as an independent and reliable partner for connected mobility."
One example of software solutions that are developed jointly is over-the-air updates. Similar to a smartphone, the software functions of a vehicle can be kept up to date throughout the vehicle's life. The vehicle no longer needs to be taken to the workshop for this, but can receive the software via a mobile phone or WLAN connection, i.e. wirelessly or "over-the-air". As a specialist in automotive security, doubleSlash contributes its expertise in areas such as the secure transmission of data.
The turnover and employee figures demonstrate the positive development of doubleSlash: in the past five years, turnover has grown organically from 10 to 25 million euros and the number of employees has risen from 120 to 250. The company serves various well-known customers from the automotive industry, medical technology and other innovative sectors, which is why the software experts have also maintained offices in Munich and Stuttgart since 2011 and 2018 respectively. Founded in 1999, the company is currently building a software innovation center at its headquarters in Friedrichshafen, which doubleSlash will move into at the end of the year.
