Data and analytics consultancy in Leipzig

Leipzig sits in Saxony, with an economy built on logistics and freight, automotive and mobility, and software and technology. 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.

Leipzig 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

Leipzig's air freight hub and vehicle assembly plants make high-volume operational analytics the dominant pattern, with movement events and plant performance to the fore. The city's lower cost base has also attracted shared-service operations whose reporting needs are volume rather than complexity driven.

Leipzig University and HTWK Leipzig supply graduates into a market with lower salary pressure than western Germany.

Economic anchors

  • a major European air freight hub
  • vehicle assembly plants
  • a growing software and digital health sector

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the airport and freight hub
  • Plagwitz
  • Leipzig-Nord

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.
