Overview
Staffbase is a German enterprise software company that provides an AI-native employee experience platform designed to reach every employee, from frontline and deskless workers to office-based staff. Founded in 2014 by Frank Wolf, Martin Böhringer, and Lutz Gerlach, the company launched what it describes as the world's first employee app, built on the belief that the hardest-to-reach employee sets the bar for everyone else. The platform connects employees to communications, knowledge, and actions across every channel, and is powered by AI. The company's offerings include Communications and Campaigns, Intranet and Employee Hub, Frontline Worker Support, Service and Knowledge Delivery, Policy and Compliance Communication, and Integrated Experiences. Staffbase serves over 1,500 enterprise customers worldwide, reaching millions of employees across 190 countries and 75 languages. Its multichannel approach helps organizations reach employees consistently, whether they are on a shop floor, in transit, behind a desk, or in the field. Staffbase remains founder-led and is headquartered in Chemnitz, Germany. The company emphasizes adoption across every employee group as its north star, and its platform integrates with common workplace systems such as Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, Cornerstone, Google, and Workday. Customers include Team Cowabunga, a large Domino's franchise, which uses Staffbase to streamline communications for over 2,500 employees.
History
Staffbase was founded in 2014 by Frank Wolf, Martin Böhringer, and Lutz Gerlach. Frank Wolf spent years as a consultant building large enterprise intranets, which he found complex, expensive, and ultimately used by only a fraction of the workforce. When he met Martin Böhringer and Lutz Gerlach, two fellow entrepreneurs and university friends, they saw a massive gap nobody was addressing. Together they founded Staffbase and launched the world's first employee app, built on a simple belief: the hardest-to-reach employee sets the bar for everyone else. More than 1,500 enterprise projects later, Staffbase has grown into a multi-channel single source of truth for the world's most complex companies. Still founder-led, the belief that every employee deserves experiences that are simple, clear, and relevant has never wavered. It shapes every product decision the company makes, and in the age of AI, it is the blueprint for what comes next. Today, Staffbase connects millions of employees around the world, with 1,500 customers, 190 countries, 75 languages, and 14 million users. The company's biggest learning is that if employees don't use it, nothing changes, so adoption across every employee group is its north star. Staffbase drives adoption across frontline, deskless, and office-based workforces by delivering communications and knowledge across the channels employees already use. Its multichannel approach helps organizations reach employees consistently, whether they are on a shop floor, in transit, behind a desk, or in the field.
