What NT Consult Software und Service does

NTConsult Software & Service GmbH is a Dinslaken-headquartered, family-managed German vertical-software vendor founded in 1998 that builds modular software for care facilities, catering operations, social services, and logistics. Its product family centers on NTC Horizont 4 (used by 150+ facilities) and extends into kitchen and menu management (KüchenManager, WebMenü, Essen auf Rädern), documentation and shift scheduling (DokuExpert.net, DienstplanManager), logistics (TEKOS, co-developed with ROTH Logistikberatung), and adjacent workflow modules (FUTURA, NewsletterManager, HilfsmittelManager). All products embed German statutory requirements including §301 SGB V, MDK documentation, DSGVO, GDPdU, PSG II, and MPBetreibV, and are delivered from the company's own ISO 27001-certified data center.

The company operates a license-and-module pricing model targeting German SMB and non-profit care operators, public-sector social-service providers, and catering/meal-delivery logistics buyers. Reference customers include Caritas, mission:lebenshaus, and AWO, with cited customer tenures exceeding 22 years. Distribution is direct via a small sales operation backed by partner channels (notably ROTH Logistikberatung for logistics). Go-to-market is reinforced by NRW Digitalzuschuss subsidy eligibility and climate-neutrality certification, both of which align with the procurement criteria of German public-sector and non-profit buyers.

Commercially, NTConsult is a stable, niche German vertical SaaS firm with no disclosed funding history, no M&A activity, and a leadership team of Jan Hendrik Roth and Thorben Roth. Revenue, headcount, and growth rates are not publicly disclosed; the company's competitive position rests on regulatory depth, switching costs from long customer tenures, and a broad modular product surface within a relatively narrow domain.
