What Con­cir­cle does

Concircle is an Austrian-headquartered consulting firm founded in 2009 that specializes in the implementation and extension of SAP software for digital manufacturing and supply chain operations. The company serves industrial and manufacturing customers across Europe, focusing on production planning, logistics execution, and supply chain management processes. It operates SAP-centric practices that combine standard ERP and IBP implementations with proprietary add-on products designed to extend native SAP capabilities.

The firm's core technology stack centers on SAP's manufacturing and supply chain portfolio, augmented by in-house developed add-ons branded under the "con" prefix, including conDP, conPEP, conOS, and conOS.Cloud. Concircle holds SAP Silver Partner status and maintains a specialized partnership with Tricentis, which it bundles alongside its proprietary IP for test automation delivery. A dedicated test automation team was established in Slovakia in 2022, and the firm operates a nearshoring delivery center in that location.

Commercially, Concircle generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements, licensing of its proprietary add-ons, and ongoing support and maintenance contracts. The company is owner-managed, was founded without external venture capital, and has grown organically to approximately 100 employees across seven European countries by 2024. It has completed roughly 206 projects for an enterprise customer base that includes voestalpine, Siemens Energy, Mondi, Wienerberger, and ÖBB, indicating a long-cycle, enterprise-sale motion concentrated in heavy industry and industrial manufacturing.
