What netzkontor nord Gmbh does

netzkontor nord GmbH is a German engineering services and proprietary-software firm specializing in the planning, permitting, construction supervision, and documentation of fiber optic, electricity, and heat network infrastructure. Headquartered in Flensburg with regional offices in Erfurt, Lübeck, Hannover, Schwerin, Wipperfürth, and Bochum, the company serves network operators, municipalities, energy utilities, and housing companies across all 16 German federal states, reporting 500+ supervised projects and 30+ years of cumulative domain experience through predecessor entities.

The firm's proprietary software stack — DiPS-OM/Breitband, DiPS-OM/Stromnetze, UDO, OABM, and the 2025-launched inseyet 360° smartphone monitoring platform co-developed with Fiber Experts Deutschland GmbH — covers the full infrastructure lifecycle from planning through acceptance, integrates with CRM and GIS systems via the S/PRI interface, and is tailored to German regulatory frameworks including TKG §166, BNetzA, NIS-2, and KRITIS-Dachgesetz. Revenue is generated through three streams: professional engineering services (consulting, project management, network planning, construction supervision) won via competitive tendering, software licensing and subscriptions for the DiPS/UDO/OABM/inseyet platform, and training seminars such as the EUR 2,950 TK Security Officer course.

netzkontor nord GmbH operates as part of the Netzkontor GmbH group and was expanded through the 2024 integrations of Voss Telecom Services GmbH (July 2024) and BIB TECH GmbH (August 2024). The current Geschäftsführung comprises Dennis Ritter, Jan Kanstorf, Frank Feder, and Björn Claaßen. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via a dedicated sales team, supplemented by persistent presence at major industry trade shows (E-world, ANGA COM, fiberdays, The smarter E Europe, WindEnergy Hamburg).

Core offering

netzkontor nord GmbH provides end-to-end engineering services for fiber optic, electricity, and district heating network expansion, covering consulting, network planning, permit acquisition, construction management and supervision, and digital network documentation/surveying. The firm complements these services with a proprietary software suite (DiPS OM, OABM, UDO, inseyet) for rollout management, open access automation, mobile field documentation, and 3D construction monitoring, targeting network operators, municipalities, energy utilities, and housing companies across Germany.

Product overview

netzkontor nord GmbH operates as an engineering and software services company offering both proprietary software products and consulting services for infrastructure network expansion. Its software portfolio is built around a modular platform: DiPS OM (Digitale Projektsteuerung) serves as the core project management and monitoring system for both broadband and power networks; OABM (Open Access Business Manager) automates open access wholesale processes; UDO (Universeller Dokumenten-Operator) provides mobile field documentation; and inseyet delivers 360° smartphone-based 3D construction monitoring. These software products are complemented by engineering services spanning fiber optic, power, and heating network expansion — including consultation, network planning, permit acquisition, construction supervision, and network documentation — as well as specialized offerings such as § 166 TKG security concepts, maturity procedures, permit management, and special crossing solutions.
