WiR Solutions

What WiR Solutions does

WiR Solutions GmbH is a privately held German engineering services and infrastructure planning firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Greven, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a secondary office in Wiesbaden. The company plans and manages the build-out of utility supply networks — principally fiber optic, electricity, and heat — for network operators, municipalities, and civil engineering companies across Germany. Its service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle: Ist-Analyse (status analysis), rough and detail network planning, mobile mapping/trassenscreening (laser-scanning vehicle-based route surveying), permit planning, construction monitoring, site networking, funding/subsidy consulting (Weiße-Flecken, Graue-Flecken, Gigabitförderung 2.0, BEW), tendering and award management, project management, and municipal heat planning (Kommunale Wärmeplanung) tied to the Wärmeplanungsgesetz. The company is pre-qualified for German public procurement and operates as a sales-led B2B consultancy anchored by personal project managers and relationship-driven, referral-based demand generation.

The firm's proprietary asset is InfraDok, a scalable web-based online-GIS with integrated photo documentation for capturing, managing, and visualizing infrastructure data across devices; it is positioned both as an internal planning backbone and as a standalone product. The technology stack is built on Esri GIS software (via the esri Partner Network) and proprietary mobile mapping workflows. The company operates within a three-entity corporate group (Verbund) — WiR Solutions GmbH plus IT system house mit.data GmbH (Emsdetten, operating the münsterland.cloud platform since 2014) and data protection/IT security specialist Sachverständigenbüro Mülot GmbH (carved out in 2019) — enabling bundled offerings under the "Ihr Netz aus einer Hand" (your network from a single source) positioning.

The business model is predominantly professional services and consulting fees on individually negotiated, project-based engagements with German municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), telecom operators, and Tiefbau contractors. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is founder-controlled (Claus Wissing and Frank Ribbers), profitable in appearance, and has taken no external funding since its 2006 founding. Growth is supported by German federal and state broadband and heat-planning subsidy programs, ongoing trade show presence (ANGA COM, E-world, fiberdays, BREKO Jahrestagung, Gigabitgipfel Hessen), and association memberships (BREKO, energieland 2050).
