Operational losses often come from everyday process friction: scattered data, slow handovers, and issues discovered too late.
Celonis tackles the gap by making processes visible and actionable. Founded in Munich in 2011, the company pioneered process mining and helps organizations understand how their operations really run based on system data, then pinpoint bottlenecks, deviations, and root causes. In practice, this enables teams to improve performance across areas like procurement, supply chain, finance, and customer service, and to turn process data into decisions that can be repeated and scaled.
From Munich, Celonis has grown into one of Europe’s most successful software companies. It reached unicorn status (valuation above $1B) and later became Germany’s first “decacorn”
