What Edler & Stiegler Consulting does

Edler & Stiegler Consulting GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed German management and IT consulting boutique headquartered in Pullach near Munich (Kirchplatz 1, 82049 Pullach). Founded around 2008-2012 and operating for over a decade, the firm delivers five integrated service lines: Business Consulting (process and requirements management), Test Management & Automation (ISTQB-aligned software quality assurance), AI, Data & Analytics (data landscape modernisation, dashboards, KPI models, AI use-case identification, and SAP Analytics Cloud / BW/4HANA implementations), Project & Agile Delivery (Scrum, SAFe and traditional PM), and Compliance & Security (ISMS, ISO 27001, TISAX, data protection). Engagements are staffed by consultants holding a dense stack of methodology certifications (SAFe, Scrum Master, PSM, PSPO, ISTQB, ITIL 4, PRINCE2, GPM/IPMA Level D, CPRE, IQBBA CFLBA, BPMN 2.0, SAP Financials, ICO Data Protection Officer), and the firm itself is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (TÜV SÜD) and TISAX (Scope-ID SKFYH0, DEKRA-assessed, valid through 2026-03-21), with annual German Sustainability Code (DNK) reporting.

The firm works across nine verticals - automotive, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare & medical technology, retail & consumer goods, IT services, chemical & pharmaceutical, energy, and media & telecommunications - with named logos spanning BMW Group (multiple engagements including Digital Vehicle Sales transformation and Endpoint Protection/Compliance project management), Zeppelin/Caterpillar (SAP implementation quality assurance), Tegut (checkout-system test management) and an unnamed software development house (ISO 9001:2015 certification preparation). The technology stack combines SAP Analytics (BW/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud) with mainstream delivery tooling: Atlassian (Confluence, Jira, Gliffy), Miro, Mural, Office 365, Figma, Xray and Micro Focus ALM for test management, plus web analytics and consent management on the corporate site (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Borlabs Cookie, Google Fonts).

The business model is professional services delivered on a project-based, quote-driven basis with multi-year contract cadences typical of enterprise consulting. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting national and international companies, supplemented by a website, LinkedIn, XING and Facebook presence, and email enquiry channels. Distribution is single-channel direct delivery (consultants on-site or remote at client locations), and growth capacity is augmented through a Core-tier strategic alliance with BearingPoint and a wider bench of minor mutual partnerships (Agisolve, Cockpit Consulting, Memodo, Navigator07, Ososoft, Pica, Scrumkitchen, Trimetis) plus an academic partnership with HAM (Hochschule für angewandtes Management).
