What ORBIS does

ORBIS SE is a privately held SAP and Microsoft consulting partner headquartered in Saarbrücken, Germany, with its North American operations run through ORBIS America Inc. in McLean, Virginia. Founded in 1986 in Germany and expanded to the United States in 2001, ORBIS specializes in digital transformation for discrete manufacturing companies, with additional vertical depth in consumer goods, beverage, automotive, steel, mechanical and plant engineering, construction, and energy. The company operates through 14 wholly-owned subsidiaries across Germany, USA, France, China, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands, enabling international rollouts with native-language consultants — a key differentiator for European parent manufacturers expanding into North America.

The company combines consulting services with proprietary ORBIS-branded software add-ons that are positioned as 100% integrated into SAP or Microsoft Dynamics 365 without requiring third-party middleware. The SAP-side portfolio includes ORBIS MES (Manufacturing Execution System), ORBIS Logistics, ORBIS Distributed Shopfloor Processing (DSP) for IIoT, ORBIS Transport Control System (TSS), ORBIS Product Cost Calculator, ORBIS Analytics MES Dashboard, and ORBIS Steel for metalworking. The Microsoft-side portfolio includes ORBIS ConsumerONE (consumer goods CRM), BeverageONE (co-developed with CRMFIRST), and a construction suite (ConstructionHUB, ConstructionRFQ, ConstructionSITE, ObjectManagement). ORBIS holds SAP Gold Partner status (since 1986 in Germany, 2002 in USA) and Microsoft Solutions Partner designation.

ORBIS generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements (SAP S/4HANA implementations, rollouts, enhancements, managed services, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 deployments) supplemented by licensing of its proprietary add-on solutions. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with multi-year contracts typical for enterprise manufacturing clients. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting discrete manufacturers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, supported by content marketing, webinars, events, and a thought-leadership blog. The firm employs senior consultants averaging 15 years of experience with SAP and Microsoft certifications.
