What LMIS does

LMIS AG is a German IT services company headquartered in Osnabrück that since 2000 has been digitalizing German Mittelstand industrial firms across a three-dimensional portfolio: AI Solutions, Custom Software Development, and Managed Applications. Its proprietary AI products include DocumentPilot for intelligent document capture (orders, invoices, delivery notes, lab certificates), Dynamian for step-by-step digital work instructions on the shop floor, and OnboardMe-AI for 24/7 employee knowledge access; sub-products cover optical quality control with industrial cameras, predictive maintenance on sensor data, AI-based sales forecasting, and multilingual generative-AI chatbots. Beyond proprietary IP, the firm is a certified Darktrace partner (autonomous cyber defense), an Eye Security partner (managed detection and response plus cyber insurance), and a Deutsche Telekom T Cloud partner for sovereign cloud deployment, and it operates open-source AI platforms (LibreChat, Open WebUI) inside customer infrastructure for data-sovereign AI-agent deployments.

LMIS targets primarily German SMEs and mid-market industrial customers in manufacturing, food & beverage, agriculture, and logistics, with named logos including KNIPEX, KRONE, KWS, Viessmann, Voith, heroal, Melitta Professional, and Silesia; public administration is a secondary segment. Revenue is generated through project-based AI implementations, multi-year managed-services contracts with defined SLAs, and subscription cloud services, with consultation-based pricing and no public price list. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales anchored in the Osnabrück / Lower Saxony region with national coverage, supplemented by the 'Managementforum KI' owned event format, webinars, thought-leadership content, and channel partnerships. Since November 2017 the company has been majority-owned by KNIPEX Group (KNIPEX-Werk C. Gustav Putsch KG), employing 60-70+ staff, and is currently led by a two-person executive board of CDO Sascha Dömer and CGO Daniel Oliver Augsten, with founder Prof. Dr. Marco Barenkamp serving as Deputy Supervisory Board Chairman.
