Media breaks & siloed systems
Planning, ERP, production and sales don’t talk to each other. Figures get transferred by hand, and decisions are made on numbers that are already out of date.

Consulting
Your partner for digital transformation and process optimization
Strategy, execution, results. We analyze your starting point together, decide on the way forward as partners, and stay on board until the solution works in daily practice.
What we keep seeing
Industrial SMEs are stuck in a digitalization backlog
Most companies we talk to have already started. It’s rarely a lack of will — it’s four recurring sticking points we see again and again.
Rising lead times
Manual processes, a lack of shop-floor transparency, and growing complexity slow down order processing.
Skills shortage & loss of knowledge
Experienced staff are retiring. Process knowledge lives in people’s heads, not in systems. New hires need months to get up to speed.
Data exists, but goes unused
Machine and process data is captured but never analyzed. The potential of AI in quality assurance and predictive maintenance goes untapped.
Only 18%
of mid-sized companies have a comprehensive digitalization strategy (Bitkom 2025).
Strategy first, then technology
Our approach
From problem to implementation
Three phases, each with a clearly defined outcome. You’re involved in every decision, and you can join in wherever you currently stand.
Discovery workshop
- ✓Analyze the starting point together
- ✓Name the real challenge
Outcome: An overview of the current situation and initial recommendations.
Process analysis / ideation
- ✓Develop and evaluate options for action
- ✓You decide, and together we set the course
Outcome: A weak-point analysis, as-is/to-be processes, and an agreed course of action — the strategy everything else is built on.
Implementation
- ✓Process optimization & digitalization
- ✓AI automation and innovation
Outcome: A new level of process quality and actionable real-time analytics in live operation, run by your own team.

Digital Transformation & Artificial Intelligence
Sustainable AI transformation · Business process automation
Sustainable AI transformation
Bring “shadow AI” under control: roll out AI solutions like Microsoft Copilot securely and in line with the EU AI Act, including custom AI agents.
Business process automation
Automate manual back-office tasks (bookkeeping, quotes, invoices) with Power Automate, RPA, and optionally Copilot. This cuts effort and increases accuracy.
Process Optimization & Operational Excellence
Requirements engineering · ASPICE-compliant development processes
Requirements engineering
Capture, manage and track requirements in a structured way, with clear roles, prioritization and acceptance criteria — including ASPICE compliance.
ASPICE-compliant development processes
Introduce Automotive-SPICE-compliant development and quality processes pragmatically: as lean as possible, as strict as necessary.
Data Analytics & Business Intelligence
Business intelligence & data visualization · Data wrangling
Business intelligence & data visualization
Scattered reports become unified KPIs and live dashboards. Data analytics, data/process mining and reporting make trends and potential visible.
Data wrangling
Bring scattered, unstructured data together into a central “single source of truth,” with reproducible data pipelines as a reliable basis for decisions.
Project & Change Management
Training · Everything from a single source
