Locoia: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Locoia is a low-code automation and data platform, offered as an integration platform as a service (iPaaS). It provides a drag-and-drop workflow editor and a flow builder for connecting applications and synchronising data between systems, plus a unified data warehouse. A second product is an embedded, white-label integration marketplace that software vendors can offer to their own customers. Locoia is delivered as a hosted cloud service, and the vendor states that it supports encryption and two-factor authentication.

Locoia GmbH is based in Hamburg, Germany. Aareon AG, a software provider for the European real estate industry based in Mainz, acquired all shares in February 2023. The vendor states that the software is hosted on servers in Frankfurt, and its website carries a note that it is hosted in Germany. The data controller named in the privacy statement is Aareon Deutschland GmbH in Mainz. Both the vendor and the controller are therefore German entities under EU data protection law. Locoia is proprietary, with no self-hosted option mentioned, so the hosting location is set by the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Locoia

Locoia is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Locoia scores best on data residency.

Locoia is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Locoia together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
