OTIF AB is a privately held Swedish consultancy and recruitment company founded in 2013, headquartered in the south of Sweden, with a team of 11-50 employees. The company provides high-end technical consultancy and recruitment services to complex organizations and technology projects, with a particular focus on science and technology clients including the European Spallation Source ERIC, a major European research infrastructure organization, with which it holds multiple framework agreements.

The company's service portfolio is organized into nine distinct consulting practices: electrical design (with EPLAN Electric P8 and AVEVA E3D tool support), embedded systems design (including FPGA development), industrial automation and PLC programming for Industry 4.0, PMI-certified project management, requirements management, software engineering, system safety analysis (compliant with IEC 61508), systems engineering (compliant with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and ISO 9001), and technical documentation. These services are complemented by a recruitment practice with an international recruitment program for scientists and engineers. OTIF operates with ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certifications, and emphasizes a structured, operational discipline rooted in the founders' logistics and transportation background, encapsulated in the brand promise 'On Time In Full'.

OTIF generates revenue through professional services — both consultancy engagements and recruitment assignments — billed on a quote-based model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct referrals, an extensive partner network for capabilities outside its core competencies, and repeat framework agreements with institutional clients. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent organization, or institutional shareholders.
