What Atlantec Enterprise Solutions does

Atlantec Enterprise Solutions GmbH is a privately held German software and consulting firm headquartered in Hamburg, founded in 1999. The company develops and sells the Topgallant® software platform, which is purpose-built for shipyards and shipowners in the maritime industry. The Topgallant® framework combines an information management infrastructure (Information Server) with a suite of engineering, production, and lifecycle applications, including Assembly Production, Facility Modeler, Simulation Modeler, Requirements Engineering, Catalogue Manager, Scheduling & Optimization, Topgallant Digital Twinning, and Topgallant Toolkits. On top of the platform, Atlantec delivers domain-specific solutions such as Shipyard Production Simulation (SYPS), Logistics Simulation, Production Planning (PPT), Weld Distortion Management (WDM), automated plate nesting (Plate Production), an ERP Connector, and a Sustainability module for environmental monitoring and emissions reduction.

The company's commercial model is a hybrid of Topgallant® software licensing (characterized internally as subscription/recurring) and maritime/IT consulting services, sold through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting shipyards and shipping companies. Go-to-market is supported by industry conference participation (SMM, COMPIT, IMAM), academic publication, and EU Horizon research project involvement (EcoShipYard, FLEETfor55, SHIPLYS). The company is led by Managing Director Dr.-Ing. Thomas Koch and operates with a very small team (1-10 employees), with no disclosed revenue, funding, or external institutional ownership. Atlantec is a member of VSM (German Shipbuilding Association) and ECMAR, and holds registered trademarks for the Topgallant® brand and company name. AI/ML capabilities are embedded in specific modules, including 3D point-cloud reconstruction, NLP-based requirements engineering, and optimization-based scheduling, but they are functional features rather than the platform's primary value proposition.

Direct peers

• NAPA: NAPA provides naval architecture and ship design software widely used in shipyards for hull form, stability, and load analysis. It is a direct peer in shipbuilding engineering software, though with less emphasis on production simulation than Atlantec.
• ShipConstructor (Bentley Systems): ShipConstructor provides ship construction CAD and production information software to shipyards worldwide. It is a direct peer for shipyard production design and detailed engineering, complementing its parent Bentley Systems' broader infrastructure portfolio.
• Hexagon PPM (Smart Marine): Hexagon's Smart Marine (formerly Intergraph) offers shipbuilding CAD, engineering, and production information management solutions directly competing with Topgallant® modules for shipyard digital infrastructure and production planning.

Broad incumbents

• AVEVA: AVEVA (Schneider Electric) provides industrial software including shipbuilding solutions such as AVEVA Marine, covering hull and outfitting design. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Atlantec's shipyard production and digital twin focus but serves a much wider industrial portfolio.
• Dassault Systèmes: Dassault's CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE platforms target marine and offshore engineering, including ship design and digital twin. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities to Atlantec's digital twinning and engineering modules.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Siemens offers Teamcenter and NX for marine/shipbuilding covering PLM, CAD, and manufacturing. As a broad incumbent, it competes for shipyard IT budgets but lacks Atlantec's specialization in shipyard production simulation and weld distortion management.

Emerging players

• ESI Group: ESI Group specializes in manufacturing simulation including welding and virtual manufacturing, overlapping with Atlantec's Weld Distortion Management and Shipyard Production Simulation capabilities for industrial clients including marine.
• Kongsberg Digital: Kongsberg Digital offers maritime digital twin and vessel lifecycle solutions (Vessel Insight, Kognifai) that overlap with Atlantec's shipowner-facing lifecycle management and digital twinning modules, particularly for the operational phase.
