Deep industry understanding
We know the workshop, the seasonality, the manufacturer requirements. You don't have to explain what a workshop intake is.
Company
Serving two-wheeler retail since 1993.
Born from real-world dealer practice, evolved with dealers. Today CSB is the industry standard across the German-speaking region.
In 1989, Dieter Börjes had software built for his own motorcycle dealership because nothing on the market really understood motorcycle, apparel and workshop retail. That hands-on origin is what shaped CSB: software that knows the dealer's day.
Today, more than 30 years later, CSB is in production at over 900 dealers across the DACH region. The team is small and specialised: 16 people, most of them in development and support – people who know the software, know the industry, and in most cases pick up the phone themselves when a dealer calls.
What hasn't changed in over 30 years: our genuine interest in what keeps dealers busy every day. Working alongside two-wheeler businesses for decades means knowing the nuances – the season that started differently than planned, the warranty case that involves three manufacturers at once, the regular customer who comes back after the first service. That is exactly what CSB is built for.

Our own software, no re-branding
We build what we sell – in Augustfehn, with our own team, without outsourcing core logic.
Direct communication
Ticket, help center or phone: there is always a real person behind it who knows the company and the industry. No anonymous helpdesk, no passing the buck.
