What CONVIDIUS Business Solutions does

CONVIDIUS Business Solutions GmbH is a German IT consulting and services firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, with seven offices across Hannover, Berlin/Teltow, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, München, Mönchengladbach, and Hamburg. The company serves mid-market and enterprise clients in sectors including automotive (Volkswagen AG, RECARO), consumer products (Vorwerk, PRYM), energy (EWV), and logistics (AW Logistik), delivering a broad service mix that spans IT strategy consulting, ServiceNow implementation, SAP advisory through a TTZ partnership, IT staffing, business and transformation management, custom software development, and ML/Big Data/AI consulting, plus an academy/training line.

Its technology stack covers mainstream enterprise development languages and frameworks (Java, C#/.NET, PHP, React, Angular, JavaScript) alongside open-source data infrastructure (Hadoop, HBase, InfluxDB, TimeSeriesDB, Grafana), positioning the firm to deliver both application development and data-engineering engagements. CONVIDIUS has developed a proprietary "Backlog Clock" methodology for project, transformation, and backlog management, which it uses as a branded consulting framework across client engagements.

The business model is services-led, monetized primarily through time-and-materials consulting and staff augmentation engagements billed against day-rate or hourly benchmarks typical of the German IT services market. Customer acquisition is enterprise-oriented, leveraging regional office proximity and reference customers to win multi-year programs. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and leadership is centered on founder Thomas Hopp (CEO), Nicole Hopp (Controlling/HR), and Alexander Hintermeier (Prokurist), with headcount in the 11–50 employee band.
