What VSB Solutions does

VSB Solutions GmbH is a German owner-managed IT solutions integrator headquartered in Lichtenfels, Germany, serving the DACH Mittelstand (mid-market companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). The company combines professional consulting and implementation services with value-added resale of strategic software platforms, most notably Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, WEBCON Business Process Suite (BPS), DRACOON Enterprise Filesharing, and ABBYY Vantage for document OCR. Around these platforms, VSB has developed a portfolio of proprietary modules — VSB.Docs for controlled documentation, VSB.Actions for centralized CAPA and corrective action management, and the VSB.Dyn365 extension package — that add quality management and process-specific functionality on top of the underlying vendor stacks.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (CRM and BPM consulting, implementation, customization, and data migration) and recurring software resale through partnership channels. VSB holds Premium Partner status with WEBCON (six consecutive years), Gold Partner status with DRACOON, and Microsoft partner designation; secondary partnerships with ABBYY, AnalyticsCreator, BOARD, and yunIO round out a complementary ecosystem spanning document capture, data warehouse automation, BI/CPM, and no-code SAP integration. Pricing is quote-based, billed annually, and the go-to-market is sales-led with personalized demos targeting companies typically in the 100–2,000 employee range across industries such as manufacturing, construction, food/dairy, automotive, and automation.

In September 2025, VSB Solutions GmbH was merged into smoodi.consulting GmbH (retroactive to January 1, 2025), with all rights, obligations, contracts, and ongoing operations continuing without interruption under the parent entity. The firm carries no external venture or private equity funding, is privately held, and does not publicly disclose revenue. Certifications and compliance attestations for the partner products it resells — ISO/IEC 27001, BSI C5, GDPR, and WCAG — form the core of its security and quality positioning rather than company-level proprietary certifications.
