SHB Business Solutions

What SHB Business Solutions does

SHB Business Solutions GmbH is a Munich-based (Aschheim) Microsoft Solutions Partner founded in 2005 that implements, customizes, and supports Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — the Microsoft ERP platform with 320,000+ global customers — for mid-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The company has built a portfolio of proprietary add-on modules that extend Business Central: SHB4Projects for project planning and rolling time/cost analysis, SHB4Prepayments for advance payment handling, SHB Copilot for AI-assisted productivity via Microsoft Copilot, SHB BI Connector for Business Central-to-Power BI data exchange, and SHB Power BI Templates for Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, and Finance reporting. The firm also supports Microsoft Fabric as a unified data platform for analytics and AI use cases.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining project-based professional services (ERP consulting, implementation, customization, training, data migration, and go-live support) with recurring subscription revenue streams — Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) contracts for cloud consumption, the Continuous Update Service for managed Business Central version updates, and ongoing technical support. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per engagement, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Distribution is direct enterprise sales targeting Mittelstand companies (50-500 employees) in verticals including manufacturing, wholesale/trading, plant engineering (Anlagenbau), and consumer goods, supported by an annual SHB Kundentag customer conference, content marketing, and a regional partner network.

SHB serves 160+ customers in the DACH region and is independently owned by Managing Director Erik Schneider and shareholders Stefan Rottmann and Rainer Weng (both Sales Directors). The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff and has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity. Strategic positioning emphasizes long-term customer relationships, regulatory compliance support (notably the German E-Rechnung mandate from 2025), and productization of consulting IP into licensable Microsoft-compatible modules.
