Direct peers

• ORBIS AG: German Microsoft Dynamics and SAP consulting firm with ERP implementation services. Comparable in mid-market ERP focus and DACH-centric delivery model.
• BE-terna GmbH: European Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner (now part of T-Systems/Deutsche Telekom) delivering ERP and CRM implementations, with a logistics/3PL practice that overlaps with dicobis' Boltrics-based offering.
• SIEVERS-SNC: German Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner focused on mid-market ERP projects. Closely comparable in technology stack and customer profile (German SMEs and mid-market enterprises).
• KUMAVISION AG: One of the largest Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central/AX) partners in the DACH region, delivering ERP implementations across manufacturing, retail, and logistics. Highly comparable to dicobis in core platform choice and customer verticals, but at significantly larger scale.
• COSMO CONSULT: Germany-based Microsoft Dynamics and SAP partner with a strong focus on mid-market ERP implementations, including manufacturing and retail. Directly competes for the same Microsoft Business Central project pipeline that dicobis targets in DACH.
• SYSTOR AG: Swiss-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner serving SMEs and mid-market in the DACH region, with focus on retail, wholesale, and manufacturing implementations.

Broad incumbents

• Sage Group: Global ERP vendor (Sage Business Cloud, Sage X3) competing for the same mid-market ERP customers in retail, wholesale, and logistics as Microsoft Business Central. Not a direct channel partner but an alternative-platform incumbent shaping the same buying decisions.
• Allgeier Public Sector (Allgeier Group): Broader German IT services group with a Microsoft Dynamics practice alongside other enterprise technology services. Competes for similar ERP project work but operates across multiple platforms and verticals.
• Avanade: Accenture/Microsoft joint venture and one of the largest global Microsoft Dynamics 365 delivery organizations. Competes for the same enterprise BC projects in DACH and globally, with far deeper delivery capacity.
• proAlpha Group: ERP vendor and implementation partner for mid-market manufacturing, wholesale, and retail in DACH. Microsoft-based stack and overlapping verticals (wholesale, retail, logistics), making it an adjacent competitor rather than a pure Microsoft-only rival.
