What OSCO does

OSCO GmbH is a German SAP consulting and software company headquartered in Mannheim (Mallaustraße 74, D-68219 Mannheim) that serves manufacturing and process industries with a focused specialization in the steel and metal sector. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ORBIS SE, a publicly listed European consulting group with subsidiaries in Germany, France, the United States, China, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands, and is led by Managing Director Wolfgang Seehaus. OSCO holds SAP Gold Partner and Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, which together enable delivery across SAP S/4HANA, SAP CRM & CX, SAP Supply Chain Management, SAP Human Resources, SAP Business Analytics, SAP Business Technology Platform, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure IoT, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by ORBIS Steel, a digital solution designed specifically for the metal industry that delivers variant configuration through rule tables for industry standards, batch management logistics with targeted batch retrieval, and integrated reporting and product cost analysis. Complementary modules include the ORBIS Product Cost Calculator for in-SAP production costing (with or without master data), the ORBIS Manufacturing Execution System for real-time production management, and the ORBIS Analytics MES Dashboard for production analytics. These products are sold as add-ons or as part of broader SAP implementation projects targeting steel producers, steel service centers, and discrete and process manufacturers, with secondary vertical exposure to automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, consumer goods and retail, and energy suppliers.

OSCO generates revenue through three streams: professional services for SAP consulting (deployment analyses, concept development, global rollouts, and project implementation), one-time software licenses for proprietary ORBIS products, and recurring managed services covering application support, application management, hotline, and on-call support. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, consultative and relationship-driven, targeting large industrial customers. Marketing leverage is drawn from the ORBIS Group's social channels, blog, webinars, and industry events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows contact-based enterprise engagement norms.
