Our Departments

The Rocket Pioneers

Every day, our development team embarks on new missions to improve software solutions, integrate new features, and solve customer challenges. In doing so, they’re not only working on today’s tasks but also on the innovations of tomorrow.

In close collaboration with our consulting department, we implement new ideas and technologies.
We work on innovative solutions for future requirements.

The Shooting Star Hunters

Our consultants are intergalactic wish-fulfillers: They track down customer needs like shooting stars in the night sky. Working closely with our clients, they bring order to the data universe, optimize processes, and ensure that planning and controlling run smoothly.

We work closely with our clients — mostly remotely via online sessions, but sometimes in person on-site as well.
In doing so, we gather requirements, implement them directly, or coordinate new ideas with our development team.

The World-Back-in-Balance Team

They’re there, even when things get dicey. When black holes appear or questions strike like comets, they always guide our customers back onto the right orbit. Whether it’s a radio message, Morse code, or a support ticket — requests always reach Support safely. And tomorrow? Most of the time, the world is spinning at its usual speed again.

We think along with you, ask questions, and provide clarity. We offer support without traditional tiered levels.
Sometimes things get tricky. But we work as a team, and together we always find a solution.

The Aliens

With extraterrestrial instincts, they’re always on the lookout for new galaxies — uh, customers. Equipped with a keen radar for potential, silver tongues, and a charming hyperdrive in their toolkit, they discover opportunities before anyone else even has them on their radar. Onward to an interplanetary mission!

We support and advise prospective customers from the very first contact through to the final decision.
We understand our products and the challenges they solve — and bring both together in a compelling way.

The Co(s)mic Ones

Our marketing team sprinkles stardust across our core worlds and makes sure everything shines — professional, polished, and always with a plan. Of course... did anyone expect anything else? Every now and then, they even team up with the Aliens.

Working closely with all departments, we create a consistent brand presence.
Marketing, videos, design, events, copy... We handle almost everything in-house.

The Galaxy Guardians

Our finance and operations team ensures that all financial processes run smoothly, that we stay on course, and that nothing gets lost in the vastness of the universe. From accounting to organizational tasks, they maintain balance and make sure everything is properly documented and completed on time.

We ensure clear processes, clean documentation, and efficient administration.
At the same time, we keep a close eye on costs, budgets, and deadlines, taking care of smooth back-office operations.

The Satellite Navigators

They keep our systems running, shield us from cosmic disruptions, and serve as a reliable control center for the entire team. Our IT department is the backbone of the digital space, ensuring everything can move safely and stably — and acting as the go-to contact whenever the internet "breaks".

We manage and further develop the internal IT landscape and are the first point of contact for technical questions.
We think ahead, automate processes, and implement tools that help our teams work more efficiently.

Fair treatment and mutual respect are important to us.

Our core values

Innovation

For us, innovation means that we are and remain dynamic while embracing change. We think big and implement our ideas realistically.

Respect

Treating one another with respect and working together — in the sense of showing consideration for other people, groups, and tasks—is of utmost importance to us.

Teamwork

At Kern, teamwork means that several people work on shared tasks, contributing their diverse skills and strengths.

Transparency

Transparency is open and honest communication both within and outside Kern AG, aimed at fostering a trusting working relationship.

Responsibility

Responsibility is the foundation for an open, constructive, and positive culture of learning from mistakes. It is the commitment to ensure that as little harm as possible is caused.

Trust

Trust means being certain that you can rely on someone and that you will not be disadvantaged by the actions of others, because reliability builds trust.

Appreciation

Respect for each individual’s uniqueness, expressed through acknowledgment and respect, fosters a harmonious and supportive work environment.

Reliability

Decisive action and consistent fulfillment of commitments build trust and ensure long-term, positive relationships.

What sets us apart?

Since 2004, our name has reflected our motto "Komplexe Ereignisse Reduziert Nachbilden" (Complex Events Reduce Replication). Through this, we place ourselves under creative pressure to be the best instead of second best.

Kern AG offers an all-inclusive package with development, consultation and support, all under one roof. Our methodical, yet flexible approach allows us to react to problems swiftly and solve them straight away.

For us, the client and their individual needs are always in focus. That’s why we maintain a cooperative and resolutely solution-oriented relationship with our business partners. Our solutions always focus on the core of the matter, increase the company’s productivity, sustainably promote transparency, and make a positive contribution to the profitability of business processes.

With our expertise, we can assist you in all matters relating to the interaction between Microsoft Excel and SAP. From Excel, to SAP, ABAP, VBA, .NET and Java, right up to Access – we have competencies across the board.

Environmental protection & social commitment

Environmental protection is very important to us. We are therefore delighted that we are able to support the South Baden Nature Conservation Association with a sponsorship to protect the nearby Taubergießen nature reserve with its unique alluvial forest landscape and thus secure important habitats for the local flora, insects and fauna. But protecting our environment is also very important to us in our day-to-day work. That's why we offer our customers and interested parties web sessions instead of on-site appointments. This saves time and travel. Internally, we promote our ecological footprint by working digitally as far as possible. This means we use less paper. Our modern offices with a sustainable energy concept also contribute to environmental protection, as do our business trips. This is because we prefer to travel by public transport or form car pools.

We take our social responsibility very seriously. In Freiburg, we have been involved for several years with the social association "Alles ist anders" (Everything is different), which provides professional care and support for grieving children and young people, and with CLEFT Kinderhilfe e. V., which helps children with cleft lip and palate worldwide, finances necessary operations and follow-up treatment for those affected and ensures local medical care. In this way, we make a modest contribution on behalf of every employee child so that affected children can find a way out of their grief and regain stability, security and reliability, and children with cleft lip and palate can lead a normal life.
