XEPTUM Consulting AG

What XEPTUM Consulting AG does

XEPTUM Consulting AG is a privately held German IT consulting firm headquartered in Neckarsulm that specializes in digital transformation services built around the SAP platform. Its primary offerings span SAP Cloud ERP, SAP S/4HANA migration and implementation, process digitalization (warehouse management, freight cost settlement, e-invoicing compliance), business intelligence with embedded analytics, SAP Business Technology Platform integration, and recurring Application Management Support. The company serves mid-sized and large enterprises across manufacturing, retail/wholesale, and professional services, with named reference customers including tts GmbH, Bär Cargolift, INTERSPORT Deutschland, and FÖRCH. Its go-to-market is consultative and project-based: pricing is quote-based, contracts typically run multi-year, and engagements are anchored in direct enterprise relationships supplemented by content-driven marketing through a German-language website, newsletter, and social channels.

The technology stack is anchored on SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud ERP, and SAP BTP, with deep specialization in modules such as SAP CCM and EWM. The proprietary HeinzAI platform represents the company's main productized differentiator, providing a modular AI layer for knowledge retrieval, process automation, and generative assistance that connects to SAP environments via SAP Joule and related SAP AI services. XEPTUM's certifications and ecosystem ties include SAP Silver Partner status, TOP Consultant 2025 (Compamedia), IPAI membership, and a RWTH Aachen Campus research collaboration, reinforcing credibility within both the SAP and the German applied-AI ecosystems.

Commercially, the firm operates with a stated base of approximately 90 experts, roughly 300 customers, and over 600 completed projects, suggesting a mature boutique professional services model. Revenue is generated through time-and-materials and fixed-scope SAP consulting engagements, with a meaningful layer of recurring AMS revenue. Ownership is internal and managed under a German AG governance structure with a two-member Vorstand (Peter Eisele as Sprecher, Hans Tscherwitschke) and a three-person Aufsichtsrat chaired by Dr. Dietmar Saddei, with no disclosed external PE/VC backing.
