PZ Systeme

What PZ Systeme does

PZ Systeme is a German IT solutions provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Landshut, Bavaria, operating as a GmbH & Co. KG with 11-50 employees. The company's core offering is implementation and customization of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Navision) ERP software, extended through a portfolio of proprietary PZ-branded add-on applications: eSalesPZ for e-commerce and marketplace integration, ediPZ for paperless EDI document exchange, dmsPZ for automated document archiving, scanPZ for warehouse/barcode scanning, and carrierPZ for shipping carrier connectivity. As an official Microsoft Silver Partner since 2004, PZ Systeme has built vertical depth in three target sectors — Fashion/Textile (variant management, multi-channel), Retail (inventory transparency, cross-channel flows), and Medical Technology (regulatory compliance, component-level traceability).

The business model combines multiple revenue streams: ERP software licensing and implementation services, DocuWare DMS implementation, web development and Shopware-based e-commerce builds, consulting and project management, recurring support/maintenance contracts, Microsoft Azure and private cloud hosting, and customer financing from EUR 2,500. Services are delivered through direct, consultative enterprise sales in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is managed by three Geschäftsführer — Christian Pöhner, Klaus Zierer, and Beate Pistol-Schubert — with no disclosed external investors, venture funding, or M&A activity.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• COSMO CONSULT: One of the largest Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central partners in the DACH region with deep vertical ERP solutions, including manufacturing and industry-specific extensions. Direct peer with same Microsoft-first ERP focus, similar partner-program economics, and overlapping mid-market customer base.
• SIEVERS-GROUP: German IT consulting firm specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and LS Retail implementations for mid-market retail and manufacturing customers. Direct peer: similar Microsoft-centric ERP delivery, complementary retail/POS focus via LS Retail partnership.
• KUMAVISION AG: German-headquartered Microsoft Dynamics partner specializing in ERP implementations (Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV / AX) for mid-market manufacturing and distribution customers. Closest direct peer: same Microsoft-centric ERP delivery model, similar mid-market positioning in DACH.
• ORBIS AG: German Microsoft partner focused on Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP and CRM implementations, including industry-specific extensions and managed services. Direct peer: comparable Microsoft ERP delivery model and similar mid-market DACH positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Avanade: Global joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft specializing in Microsoft technology services, including Dynamics 365 ERP and Power Platform. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same Microsoft-led ERP modernization work at larger enterprise customers.
• Allgeier SE: Listed German IT services group with a Microsoft Dynamics / ERP practice (formerly Allgeier IT Solutions / Alfa) alongside broader IT, enterprise software and staffing businesses. Comparable as a larger incumbent offering Microsoft ERP services as part of a wider portfolio.

Emerging players

• proALPHA Group: German mid-market ERP vendor focused on manufacturing, distribution and service industries, increasingly a competitor for mid-market ERP wallet share alongside Microsoft Dynamics partners. Comparable as an emerging alternative ERP vendor targeting the same DACH mid-market segment.
• abas Software GmbH: German mid-market ERP vendor (abas ERP) for manufacturing, production and trading companies with a partner-led go-to-market. Comparable as an alternative mid-market ERP platform competing for the same DACH SME/custom-ERP replacement deals.

Others

• Shopware AG: German e-commerce platform vendor whose technology PZ Systeme uses to deliver B2B/B2C online shops. Comparable as a technology supplier rather than competitor; Shopware's roadmap, pricing and partner program shape PZ Systeme's e-commerce revenue.
• DocuWare GmbH: German DMS vendor whose product PZ Systeme resells and integrates with Dynamics 365 Business Central. Comparable as a key technology partner rather than a direct competitor; relevant because DocuWare's partner program economics and product roadmap directly influence PZ Systeme's DMS business.
