Company profile
researched Aug 2026Crosser provides a low-code platform for building and operating real-time data integration, stream analytics and automation pipelines that can run at the edge, on-premise or in the cloud. The product set comprises Flow Studio, a low-code design environment for building integration and automation pipelines; Crosser Node, an integration runtime described as requiring around 500 MB of RAM and using in-memory processing for millisecond latency and high throughput; and Crosser Control Center, a single control plane used for mass deployment and monitoring of pipelines across hybrid environments, combining Flows-as-a-Service for SaaS and cloud services with self-hosted nodes for on-premise or customer-cloud data.
Functionally, the platform covers cloud data integration, streaming, ETL/ELT, iPaaS and workflow automation, factory floor integration and IoT edge streaming analytics. It supports event-driven patterns including IoT and machine data streams, report-by-exception triggering, webhooks, pub/sub via MQTT and WebSockets, change data capture in databases, and file watchers, alongside anomaly detection using fixed rules, custom algorithms or ML/AI models applied to IoT data, video and audio, user behaviour or transactions. Crosser markets a connector library of more than 800 data sources, transformation with standard modules or SQL, the ability to add custom code or ML/AI models, and integration to destinations in the cloud, on-premise or at the edge, including cloud storage, Snowflake and Databricks. A Unified Namespace capability is positioned as combining data organisation, transformation and enrichment with real-time processing to drive automations, KPIs and edge AI. Crosser FlowWatch adds data observability, including flow monitoring and alerts, data freshness monitoring, streaming data and data volume validation, and AI/ML model monitoring.
Business model
Crosser sells access to its platform, with published features and pricing pages, a free sign-up tier for testing with real data, and hybrid deployment options spanning managed Flows-as-a-Service and self-hosted nodes.
Latest developments
Crosser announced on its website that it has been acquired by AVEVA and that the Crosser platform is now part of CONNECT.

Competes in the real-time integration, stream analytics, iPaaS and industrial edge computing space, marketing itself as an alternative to layered data stacks built on tools such as Kafka and cloud-native integration services."}</parameter>
<parameter name="metrics">[{"metric_name": "Connectors available", "value_number": 800, "unit": "connectors", "as_of": "2025", "value_text": "+800 data sources in the connector library", "source_idxs": [0]}, {"metric_name": "Crosser Node minimum memory footprint", "value_number": 500, "unit": "MB RAM", "as_of": "2025", "source_idxs": [0]}]
Positions itself against traditional ETL/ELT, iPaaS and event stream analytics tools by combining low-code ease of use with advanced real-time processing, a single control plane for edge, on-premise and cloud deployments, a small runtime footprint, and claimed infrastructure cost reductions such as 90% savings versus Kafka and reduced cloud spend through edge pre-processing.
Technology
Low-code flow-based pipeline design (Flow Studio) executed by a lightweight in-memory runtime (Crosser Node, approximately 500 MB RAM) for millisecond-latency processing, orchestrated by a central Control Center; capabilities include 800+ connectors, SQL and modular transformations, CDC, MQTT/WebSocket pub-sub, webhooks, file watching, anomaly detection and execution of custom code or ML/AI models at the edge or in the cloud.
Go-to-market
Self-service free account sign-up, weekly live platform demos with Q&A split between industrial IoT and cloud data integration tracks, expert consultations and scheduled demos, plus customer and partner case studies; one published example describes All American Poly reducing inventory shrink using Crosser with IFS Cloud.
Engineering and data teams in enterprises with industrial and IoT data, including manufacturing/factory floor operations, as well as teams handling cloud data integration, ETL/ELT and workflow automation.
