What TIM Solutions GmbH does

TIM Solutions GmbH is a Garching bei München-based software company founded in 2007 that develops TIM Flow, a no-code/low-code Business Process Management (BPM) platform combining process design, automation, and AI capabilities in an integrated offering. The platform comprises three modules, TIM Design for BPMN 2.0-based process modeling and form creation, TIM Automate for workflow execution and real-time monitoring, and TIM Improve for KPI-based process optimization, all reinforced by the TIM Trusted AI framework that wraps leading third-party LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek) in a zero-trust, blockchain-verified architecture for European data privacy compliance. The company is 100% family-owned, has grown to over 30 team members as of 2024, and operates branch offices in Frankfurt am Main and Kosovo.

TIM Solutions serves primarily mid-market and large European enterprises across verticals including automotive (BMW, BMW M, NIO, Denso, TKE/Tekfor, Zollner Elektronik), transportation (Deutsche Bahn, SBB, Munich Airport), energy (Westenergie), finance (Deka, Sparda-Bank, VHV), and government research (DLR), with cumulative experience from over 2,000 customer projects and a Process Library of 400+ templates. The company monetizes through tiered SaaS subscriptions (scaling from 100 to 8,000 users), perpetual on-premise licenses, optional software maintenance contracts, and professional services for BPM consulting, training, and implementation delivered through three engagement models.

Go-to-market is a hybrid of product-led growth (free demo version, self-service adoption by business users) and enterprise sales supported by a partner channel of 16+ firms including a flagship relationship with PwC plus technology integrations with ARIS, BOC Group, and iGrafx. ISO 27001 certification was achieved in November 2024, and the platform supports 13 languages across 74 countries, though DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) remains the primary commercial geography. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company has operated without external venture or private equity backing since founding.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft (Power Platform): Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) provides low-code workflow and process automation tightly integrated with Microsoft 365, Dynamics, and Azure. Significant competitive overlap with TIM Flow for enterprises already standardized on the Microsoft ecosystem, where TIM itself integrates as a connector.
• ServiceNow: ServiceNow offers the Now Platform with App Engine and workflow automation capabilities as part of a broader enterprise service management suite. Competes indirectly with TIM Flow in low-code workflow use cases but bundled within a much larger IT service management and enterprise platform offering.

Direct peers

• BOC Group: BOC Group provides ADONIS BPM and process management software used widely in European enterprises, especially in DACH markets. Competes with TIM Flow in enterprise process modeling and management, and is also listed as a Core technology integration partner of TIM Solutions.
• iGrafx: iGrafx is a process modeling and BPM platform with strong presence in manufacturing, finance, and healthcare verticals, headquartered in the US with European operations. Both TIM Solutions and iGrafx are integrated partners (TIM lists iGrafx as a Core technology partner), and they compete for similar process transformation deals.
• Nintex: Nintex provides process mapping, workflow automation, and document generation capabilities, with strong presence in DACH and similar target verticals (automotive, finance, manufacturing). Comparable product scope (process design, automation, optimization) and similar mid-market to enterprise positioning.
• Appian: Appian is a leading low-code process automation and BPM platform offering unified process design, automation, and AI capabilities for enterprise customers. Directly comparable to TIM Flow in target use cases (workflow design, BPMN 2.0, enterprise integrations) and customer profile (regulated enterprises, financial services, public sector).
• Camunda: Camunda provides an open-source BPMN-based workflow and decision automation platform for developers and enterprise architects. Overlaps with TIM Flow in BPMN 2.0 process modeling and enterprise integration use cases, though Camunda is more developer-centric while TIM emphasizes business-user no-code.
• Bizagi: Bizagi offers a low-code process automation platform with BPMN 2.0 modeling, workflow automation, and integration capabilities. Directly competes with TIM Flow in enterprise process digitization projects, particularly in Europe and Latin America, with similar customer segments including financial services and manufacturing.
• ProcessMaker: ProcessMaker is a low-code BPM and workflow automation platform with intelligent document processing and process intelligence. Comparable to TIM Flow in process design, automation, and AI-augmented capabilities, targeting similar enterprise digital transformation use cases.

Emerging players

• Kissflow: Kissflow is a no-code workflow and process automation platform targeting mid-market enterprises with rapid deployment and citizen-developer focus. Comparable to TIM Flow in low-code BPM positioning, though typically serving smaller deal sizes and less regulated industries than TIM's enterprise DACH customer base.
