What ValueLink Group does

ValueLink Group AG is a privately held Swiss SAP consulting boutique headquartered at Theaterstrasse 7 in Lucerne, founded in late 2012. The firm operates as a partner-owned company led by five board-level individuals — Peter Stampfli (Chairman/CEO), Dieter Ebinger (Deputy Chairman), Pascal Toggweiler (Managing Partner), Hans Stettler (Board Member), and Daniel Hegetschweiler (Senior Solution Architect) — supported by a small senior team of additional SAP consultants and developers. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range and the company serves the DACH region, with an explicit vertical focus on Swiss healthcare (hospitals, clinics, psychiatric facilities) and retail/trade.

The company's offering combines end-to-end SAP consulting services (advisory, project management, technical ERP implementation, ABAP/Fiori development, go-live support) with a portfolio of proprietary SAP add-ons: ValueLink Authenticator (NFC-based mobile login to SAP Fiori), OpValueCycle (operating-room material cycle management with profitability analytics per procedure/surgeon/clinic), SAP Fiori Mobile Apps (barcode/NFC scanning integrated with SAP ERP/S/4HANA), and SAP Freigabe-Cockpit (cross-system material consumption and approval cockpit integrating KIS, RIS, MM, and IS-H). The technical foundation spans SAP ERP, S/4HANA, IS-Healthcare, IS-Retail, SAP Fiori/UI5, ABAP, PI/PO, AIF, Ariba, and APM, with documented integrations to Conextrade, HBS-Pagero, GHX, and HCI-HospIndex in the Swiss e-procurement ecosystem.

ValueLink generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements sold directly to enterprise and government clients in Switzerland. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Swiss public hospitals, with additional federal government (Kanton Zürich, ISB/BIT SUPERB23), financial services, media (SRG SSR), and retail (major European mail-order pharmacy) references. The company does not disclose revenue, has not raised external funding, and has no subsidiaries or parent entities — consistent with a self-funded, partner-controlled consulting boutique.

Regional players

• Bedag Informatik AG: Swiss public-sector IT services provider owned by the canton of Bern, with SAP and custom development capabilities. Comparable as a Switzerland-domestic IT services firm serving cantonal/government clients.
• ELCA Informatique SA: One of the largest independent Swiss IT services firms, with capabilities spanning SAP, custom development, and vertical solutions. Comparable as a domestic Swiss IT consultancy, though ELCA is significantly larger and more diversified.

Emerging players

• SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE: Specialist in SAP data migration and S/4HANA transformations, with its own CrystalBridge software platform. Competes with ValueLink in the S/4HANA transformation space but is product-led rather than service-led.

Direct peers

• Allgeier SE: German IT services group combining enterprise software consulting (including SAP) with proprietary industry solutions. Comparable as a DACH-based mid-size SAP partner with a mix of consulting and productized add-ons.
• msg systems AG: Germany-based IT consulting firm with a strong SAP practice and dedicated healthcare-industry division (msg for healthcare). Closest comparable: SAP boutique with vertical focus, similar size class, and overlapping IS-H/clinical logistics expertise in DACH.
• Sycor GmbH: German IT services firm specialized in SAP consulting, implementation, and hosting with strong manufacturing, retail, and healthcare verticals. Comparable mid-size independent SAP boutique operating in DACH.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: Germany-headquartered SAP-focused IT solutions provider with strong presence in healthcare and public sector. Closely matches ValueLink's positioning as a mid-size independent SAP boutique serving regulated verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Atos (now Eviden): Global IT services and SAP partner that competes on large Swiss public-sector and healthcare transformation tenders. Significantly larger and broader portfolio; typically competes with ValueLink on the largest engagements.
• Capgemini Invent / Capgemini Engineering: Global systems integrator with a dedicated SAP practice and strong Swiss presence. Competes with ValueLink on healthcare and public-sector S/4HANA programs, typically at the top of the engagement pyramid.
• NTT DATA Business Solutions (SAP): Global SAP-focused system integrator and one of SAP's largest global partners. Competes for the same Swiss healthcare and S/4HANA transformation deals, but at a much larger scale and broader portfolio.
