Data and analytics consultancy in Dortmund

Dortmund sits in North Rhine-Westphalia, with an economy built on logistics and freight, software and technology, and industrial machinery and engineering. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Dortmund analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Dortmund has converted a heavy-industry past into a logistics technology cluster, so local clients are unusually literate about supply-chain data models. TU Dortmund's statistics tradition also means methodological questions in forecasting work get asked properly here.

TU Dortmund has particular strength in logistics and statistics, which shapes the local analytics market.

Economic anchors

  • a large technology park focused on logistics software and IT
  • inland port and freight activity
  • machinery and automation engineering

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • Phoenix See
  • the Technologiepark
  • Dortmunder Hafen

How buying works here

Six to sixteen weeks in the private sector.

Specification-driven and documented. The technical team and the Einkauf negotiate separately, references carry real weight, and a written proposal with itemised positions is expected rather than a slide deck.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachbereich, the business area that owns the requirement
  2. IT, for architecture and operability
  3. Datenschutzbeauftragter, for the AVV and the processing position
  4. Betriebsrat, wherever employee performance could be derived from the reporting
  5. Einkauf, for commercial terms
  6. Geschäftsführung, above the delegated authority threshold

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, a current commercial register extract
  • Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung for tax and social security contributions
  • Betriebshaftpflicht and professional indemnity insurance certificates
  • Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (AVV), the Article 28 processing agreement, in German
  • Referenzen: named comparable projects, frequently with a contactable referee

Contract language: German for the contract, the AVV and the acceptance documentation, even where the delivery team works in English.
