What GIMM does

GIMM (Global Integrated Manufacturing Manager) is the manufacturing execution system (MES) software business operated by T-Systems ITC Iberia S.A.U., a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems division, with its competence center in Barcelona, Spain. The platform, originally developed in 1998 to synchronize automotive supply chains, is purpose-built for the automotive industry and currently manages sequencing, production control, and warehouse operations across 173 plants and 650 production lines in 25 countries. Its customers include major automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers such as Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, Forvia, Tesla, Jaguar Land Rover, and Iveco.

GIMM's product architecture consists of three core modules — LINCS for Just-in-Time / Just-in-Sequence material supply control, PROCS for production control and traceability on the shop floor (with PLC, robot, barcode, and RFID integration), and STOCS for warehouse management — complemented by an extensions suite including Synchron.Net (web-based EDI platform with certified OEM connectors), rvsEvo (OFTP/OFTP2 for VW and Daimler), WebPicking, WebStocs, Pick/Put-to-Light, Pick-by-Voice, and emerging Pick-by-Vision (AR) and E-Pad (e-ink) modules. The latest GIMM5 platform introduces OPC UA direct PLC connectivity as a step toward Industry 4.0 readiness, alongside enhanced analytics and reporting.

The business model is enterprise B2B, with revenue generated from MES software licensing and subscriptions, turnkey implementation and consulting services, and 24x7 managed support delivered under multi-year contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is configured per customer. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with expert consultation; the company does not use resellers or channel partners. Backed by T-Systems/Deutsche Telekom's global infrastructure, GIMM operates with local delivery teams across EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific to maintain close proximity to customer plants.

Revenue model

1. MES Software Licenses and Subscriptions: GIMM generates revenue through enterprise software licensing of its MES solutions (LINCS, PROCS, STOCS). The product is described as a standard solution that is configured for customer-specific processes, implying a subscription or license model with implementation services.
2. Implementation and Consulting Services: GIMM provides expert consulting, implementation (turnkey projects), process definition, and quality control services for self-implementations. These professional services complement the software licensing.
3. 24x7 Support Services: Continuous multilingual support services (24x7x365) are a core component of the offering, delivered by skilled consultants and technicians with ITIL methodology. Support is offered in 6 languages at different service levels.

Core offering

GIMM develops and licenses a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software platform that synchronizes automotive supply chains through three core products: LINCS for Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS) sequencing, PROCS for production control and traceability, and STOCS for warehouse management. The platform is sold to automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers and is configured per customer, complemented by EDI integration modules (Synchron.Net, rvsEvo) and implementation/support services delivered globally.

Product overview

GIMM (Global Integrated Manufacturing Manager) is T-Systems Iberia's MES solution consisting of a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core portfolio comprises three primary products: LINCS for Just-in-Time/Just-in-Sequence sequencing and material supply management, PROCS for production control and manufacturing execution system (MES) with traceability capabilities, and STOCS for warehouse management system (WMS) with inventory optimization. These three products are complemented by a suite of extension modules including Synchron.Net for EDI communications with multiple OEM systems, rvsEvo for OFTP/OFTP2 protocol support, MCS for EDI validation, WebPicking for warehouse picking operations, WebStocs as a web interface for STOCS, Pick/Put to Light for visual warehouse guidance, Pick by Voice for hands-free picking, Pick by Vision (augmented reality picking, in prototype), and E-Pad (electronic ink labels, in prototype). The product integrates with various automotive OEMs, industrial protocols (OPC, ModBus), and EDI standards (EDIFACT, VDA, ODETTE). GIMM was developed by T-Systems Iberia starting in 1998 and is now part of Deutsche Telekom group.
