Data and analytics consultancy in Hamburg

Hamburg sits in Hamburg, with an economy built on ports, terminals and maritime, logistics and freight, and aerospace. 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.

Hamburg 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

Hamburg's port makes movement-event analytics a local speciality, with customs status and commercial dwell needing separation before any throughput figure is credible. Aerospace manufacturing adds configuration-controlled traceability with decades-long retention, and the wind sector contributes asset telemetry spread across offshore sites.

The University of Hamburg, TUHH and HAW Hamburg supply engineering and logistics analytics skills.

Economic anchors

  • one of Europe's largest container ports
  • major civil aerospace manufacturing
  • a significant media and publishing cluster
  • wind energy headquarters functions

Where the clients sit

  • HafenCity
  • the city centre

  • Altona
  • Bahrenfeld

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.

Next step

Analytics work in Hamburg

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what ports, terminals and maritime and logistics and freight data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
Ein Fachgespräch, then an itemised Angebot in German with an AVV attached. Expect the technical review to be detailed.
