What dmc group does

dmc-group is a Munich-headquartered German industrial IT services group founded in 1984 and organized as five legally distinct subsidiaries (DMC Deutschland, dmc-smartsystems, dmc-ortim, DMC Österreich, DMC Nearshore) operating from six locations across Germany, Austria, and Romania. The group serves industrial and manufacturing customers — primarily in the DACH region — combining proprietary time-study hardware and software, an industrial IoT sensor integration framework, and consulting services around IFS ERP and Field Service Management implementations.

The proprietary technology stack centers on the ORTIM product family — a mature suite of time-study devices (ORTIM a5/a6/b6/c6) and software applications (ORTIMzeit, ORTIMplan, ORTIMmulti, ORTIMnotes, CAPP Knowledge) used for industrial work measurement, planned-time formula generation, and multi-moment analysis. The dmc-smartsystems subsidiary developed dmc-ssi, a Smart Sensor Integration Framework enabling manufacturer-independent sensor integration for condition monitoring, process optimization, and predictive maintenance, supported by edge devices, cloud-enabled remote management, and integration with macchina.io. The group also delivers embedded firmware development, OpenBMC services, Mendix low-code implementations, and Nearshore QA from Romania.

dmc-group operates a B2B services-plus-products model. Revenue is generated through software licensing (ORTIM family), professional consulting (IFS implementations, REFA/MTM industrial engineering, training), custom software development (Mendix, embedded, OpenBMC, web/mobile), and managed services (application management, nearshore QA). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct consulting teams in Munich, Erfurt, and Vienna, supplemented by IFS Silver Channel Partner distribution, trade-show presence (automatica, IFS Connect, KI congress), and a customer self-serve download center. The company is privately held, managed by three Managing Directors (Alexander Lutz, Angelo W. Zenz, Dr. Alexander Rickert), and reports a customer base of more than 350 well-known DACH organizations, with several relationships persisting for over three decades.
