IPT Solution

What IPT Solution does

IPT Solution GmbH is a privately held German software system house founded in 2005 and headquartered in Erkelenz, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company serves small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU) across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) as an authorized implementation, consulting, and resale partner for major business software vendors — primarily Myfactory (ERP), Sage (ERP), and docuvita (Document Management System), supplemented by faktur:digital, Shipxpert, and windata. Its functional focus is the digitalization of back-office and operational processes for SMEs in manufacturing, trading, and services, addressing paper-based workflows, disconnected software systems, and compliance-driven reporting requirements (GoBD, GDPR, E-Rechnungsgesetz, packaging law).

The company's product and technology architecture centers on partner platforms extended by IPT Solution's own proprietary add-on modules. Core partner modules include Myfactory ERP, CRM, e-commerce, HRM, MIS, FMS, and PPS, alongside Sage 100 (merchandise management, accounting, production, HR) and the cloud-based docuvita DMS. IPT Solution's proprietary intellectual property comprises ipt.zeiterfassung (digital time tracking with Datafox terminal integration), Myfactory MDE (mobile data capture on Android for warehouse processes), the ipt.ShopifyConnect and ipt.ShopwareConnect 5/6 e-commerce bridges, the docuvita-Myfactory integration, Myfactory Warenbestandsbuchung (inventory booking with cost-center allocation), ipt.Entsorgungsabgaben (packaging and battery waste fee management), and ipt.Projektzeiterfassung (project time tracking web portal). These modules collectively extend partner platforms with interoperability and compliance features not available as standard products.

IPT Solution monetizes through three streams: software resale and licensing of partner products (subscription or perpetual depending on vendor), hourly-billed implementation and consulting services scoped per project, and custom software development billed against the company's price list. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct consultation bookings through the company website, partner-channel co-marketing (community days, partner events), content marketing/SEO, and customer referrals. The company holds go-digital consulting authorization enabling access to government-funded digitalization engagements, employs approximately 20 people including two managing directors (Jörg Thiede and Marco Wallrafen), and serves 120+ customers across manufacturing, mobility, industrial automation, and related verticals.

Emerging players

• Trovarit: German ERP market research and consulting firm focused on ERP selection and partner matching — adjacent emerging player serving similar SME customers on the digitalization journey.

Broad incumbents

• Atos (DACH operations): Global IT services provider with significant DACH presence in ERP/SAP/Microsoft implementation — broad incumbent serving larger customers than IPT Solution but overlapping in the SI category.
• msg: Large German IT consulting and software firm with broad ERP/DMS implementation practices serving enterprise and mid-market — overlaps with IPT Solution's space but at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Allgeier: German technology consultancy and IT services group with ERP implementation practices across multiple vendors — broader incumbent offering overlapping services but operating at much larger scale.
• Arvato Systems: Bertelsmann-owned IT services subsidiary offering ERP, DMS, and digitalization services to mid-market and enterprise — broad incumbent in adjacent ERP/DMS SI space.

Others

• abas ERP: ERP vendor serving SME manufacturers with their own software and partner network — adjacent rather than direct since abas is a vendor competing against Myfactory/Sage rather than a SI partner.
