for your digital project

We advise you where you are at the present time.

When e-commerce or digitalization are on the agenda, it is often about establishing another sales channel. Or you want to develop new business areas. Sometimes it is also a matter of digitally mapping proven service processes. No matter where you are and whether you are in the B2B, B2C or D2C spheres: Our consultants will pick you up where you currently stand. At the same time, we always keep your goals and positive business development in mind.

Depending on your needs, we start by looking at the market and your potential, together. The next step, or an equally possible starting point, is to determine your individual requirements. On the way to the goal, we discuss important questions and decisions with you regarding interfaces, onboarding and how we can optimally integrate your processes into what already exists. If it is a question of meeting changed requirements or current industry trends in live operation, we show you the best possible implementation options.

What you can expect from us: Practical advice at the highest level

The preparation of a holistic market analysis (B2B or B2C) includes a joint market and competitor analysis, in which we focus on which market opportunities can be derived from this. We derive promising action strategies for you by means of continuous market observation, such as trends or from best practices of online platforms from your industry.

We are happy to be a long-term implementation partner for your digital project

Development phases on the way to your project's success. You can count on our advice.

Excerpt of the methods our consultants use:

Waterfall model, in which your software project is organized in fixed successive phases (reliable in terms of planning and budget)
Agile project management (e.g. Scrum), in which short sprints and parallel work packages are used to work towards a first functional version (MVP)
Business Model Canvas (BMC) to develop and visualize your digital business model
User Centered Design (UCD), to design products in a user-oriented way and to achieve a high usability and user experience
Design Thinking, as a customer-centric and iterative method to solve complex problems and create new ideas
Volere, to create concepts using proven tools (e.g. document templates) from requirements engineering (requirements analysis)

Analysis - market assessment and the right digital strategy

Are you a manufacturer at the very beginning, a wholesaler in the middle or a retailer already way ahead? In joint workshops, we determine your ideas (specifications) and relevant options for the next step. In the process, we analyse your current business model including processes. If necessary, we look at the market and the resulting market opportunities. The focus is on your goals.

Based on best practices, we derive promising action strategies. This enables us to define the project (specifications). For example, do you want to focus on sales via well-known marketplaces, your own online shop or selfservice platform? In this phase, we decide on the basis of your requirements whether we will manage your project agilely or according to the waterfall model.

Concept - your digital project condensed into a detailed concept

Based on the defined strategy, the concept for your digital project including business processes is developed – always in consultation with you. To this end, we take a detailed look at the process landscape, the systems involved and the necessary interfaces.

All of this results in a rough and detailed concept and, if desired, in an executable prototype with regard to structure, set-up and design.
