Peakboard: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Peakboard is a platform from Stuttgart for building dashboards and production and logistics applications that display real-time data from machines, sensors and systems such as SAP. Apps are created by prompt (Peakbot) or with the drag-and-drop Peakboard Designer, and run on a Peakboard Box or the customer's own hardware. The displays typically show production and logistics information on the shop floor.

Peakboard GmbH was founded in 2016 and spun out of Theobald Software in 2022; the pages reviewed do not name its owners. The vendor describes on-premises operation as the standard: data stays in the customer's network and the system runs offline by default, although the Hub offers some remote access. The pages do not state where any Peakboard-operated service is hosted, or whether the software is open source. For a European organisation the customer's own infrastructure is therefore the main factor; hosting and processing terms for any external functions should be assessed separately.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Peakboard

Peakboard 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.

Peakboard runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Peakboard is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

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