Data and analytics consultancy in Olten

Olten sits in Canton of Solothurn, with an economy built on rail and public transport, logistics and freight, 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.

Olten 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

Olten's role as a rail hub means performance, punctuality and asset availability analytics are prominent, with industry rules governing how figures are calculated. Logistics operations in the area add movement and dwell reporting.

Olten draws on the Basel, Bern and Zurich catchments given its central rail position.

Economic anchors

  • a central position on the Swiss rail network
  • rail maintenance and logistics operations
  • engineering and services businesses

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the railway and freight area
  • the Industriestrasse corridor
  • Trimbach

How buying works here

Eight to twenty weeks.

Relationship-led but heavily documented, with supplier due diligence that goes further than anywhere else in our markets, particularly in banking and pharmaceuticals.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachstelle, the business owner
  2. IT security, with a questionnaire and frequently an architecture review
  3. Datenschutz, against the revFADP rather than an EU-shaped pack
  4. Einkauf for commercial terms
  5. Outsourcing or risk committee, in regulated financial services
  6. Geschäftsleitung, for anything touching client-identifying data

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, current commercial register extract
  • Betreibungsregisterauszug, a debt enforcement register extract, requested more often than people expect
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity, in CHF cover levels
  • Data processing agreement drafted against the revFADP, not a translated EU template
  • Security questionnaire, frequently the client's own rather than a standard

Contract language: German, French or Italian depending on the canton; English is common in banking, pharmaceuticals and international groups.

Analytics work in Olten

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what rail and public transport 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
A technical call, then a written Offerte. Regulated buyers will ask for an outsourcing assessment and a tested exit plan early.
