Ascensus Digital builds software and AI solutions that make everyday operations in hospitality and gastronomy noticeably easier — born from years of hands-on consulting practice in the hospitality industry.
Ascensus has advised, inspired and operated hotels and gastronomy businesses for years. Ascensus Digital grew out of this practice — with one clear goal: to solve recurring everyday operational problems with good software, instead of yet more paperwork and spreadsheets.
We build our own products such as the cloud-based time tracking solution ZeitBar and practical WordPress plugins — and develop tailor-made applications on request. All of it data-minimal, GDPR-compliant and on servers in Germany.
At Ascensus, the development of IT and software lies primarily in the hands of the two Managing Partners, Sven Kornberger and Philipp Becker. What sets them apart: both come from the hospitality industry — state-certified operations managers for hospitality and gastronomy — and combine this operational know-how with a pronounced technical affinity. A rare combination, and precisely why it produces software that doesn't lose sight of the realities of day-to-day operations.
Philipp is responsible for the design and product-focused side: user experience, frontend and the look and feel of our tools. His strengths in design, web and creativity ensure that our software not only works, but is also self-explanatory to use. Another focus is business and financial applications. His entrepreneurial drive shapes which ideas we tackle next.
Sven is responsible for architecture, data logic and the business models behind the products. His MBA with a focus on digital business models and IT meets a fact-driven, analytical way of working — from clean system structure to discoverability on the web. For him, continuous learning is not a buzzword but a method.
For us, technology isn't a later change of course but a long-standing common thread. Even in our youth, the enthusiasm went beyond mere usage: setting up our own servers, first programming projects around gaming, wanting to understand how systems really work. What was once a hobby is today a genuine advantage — a natural, hands-on command of code, servers and architecture.
We consistently build on this foundation. Especially when it comes to using artificial intelligence, that early affinity pays off: we see AI as a tool, not a buzzword, keep learning continuously and deploy it where it measurably saves time. The result is software that is technically sound yet still thinks from the operational logic of the hospitality industry.
We know the shift behind the bar and the breakfast service. Our tools solve real problems instead of ticking off feature lists.
