Selbach Information Systems

What Selbach Information Systems does

Selbach Information Systems GmbH is a privately held German IT company headquartered in Mettmann (registered in Wuppertal, HRB 13712), with operations dating back approximately 30 years. The firm specializes in Business Intelligence (BI) consulting and software, offering data analytics, cloud and on-premises data management, and custom IT solutions to mid-to-large enterprises across financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, aviation, and consumer goods. Named enterprise customers include ABN AMRO, Bayer, Merck, Samsung, Deutsche Post, TÜV Rheinland, Vaillant, DFS, Mölnlycke, Rhenus, Alunorf, Radeberger, Fidia, LKWW, and Deutsche Arzt AG. The company is led by three Managing Directors (Geschäftsführer): Sven Politz, Volker Günter Johannes Klingen, and Volker Kisters, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range.

The company's core product is the Dashboard Driver, a proprietary BI tool that provides self-service analytics, multi-window dashboards, BI-specific widgets, central filter control across heterogeneous BI platforms, Power BI data input capabilities, and a unified portal solution. The Dashboard Driver integrates with at least nine BI/EPM platforms, including Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Deltamaster, Pyramid Analytics, Longview Analytics, FluenceXL, SAP Analytics Cloud, and IBM TM1/Planning Analytics. The underlying technology stack encompasses Microsoft Azure SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and NoSQL (Elasticsearch), with deployment options covering on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid via a DORA (Design Once, Run Anywhere) development methodology. Beyond the Dashboard Driver, Selbach delivers custom solutions such as a Social Media Analysis Platform with machine-learning-based pattern recognition, Global Purchasing Information Systems, Maintenance and Alerting Dashboards, Incident and Ticket Reporting Systems, Project Management Platforms, and Global Financial Improvements and Savings Tools. Voice control and AI-enabled BI querying were recently productized as feature layers.

Selbach operates a sales-led, direct enterprise go-to-market motion, primarily across the DACH region with international reach through long-standing channel partners in Korea (Zalesia, since 1995), Norway (Profitbase, since 1999), and Finland (BBI Group). The company is also a silver partner of the ManCon Congress and maintains core strategic alliances with Microsoft, SAP, IBM, and Pyramid Analytics. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (BI consulting, custom software development) and training programs, with no public pricing disclosed (quote-based, customized engagements). The business has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, consistent with a founder/management-owned and operated German GmbH.
