GMB Consulting

What GMB Consulting does

GMB Consulting, operating through its legal entity GMB S.r.l., is a small Italian IT and engineering consultancy headquartered operationally in Bologna with a registered office in Palermo. Founded in 2018 and employing approximately 8 people, the firm provides information-technology and engineering consulting and design services to primary international companies operating in the European industrial and automotive sectors. Its core offerings combine software development, system administration, and process design with vertical expertise in motor-vehicle engineering and Industry 4.0-oriented industrial automation intended to improve productivity, working conditions, and product quality. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security) and ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) certifications as core commercial credentials.

The business runs as a professional-services consultancy with a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market: projects are acquired through direct enterprise engagement rather than self-serve or product-led channels, and revenue is generated per consulting engagement rather than via disclosed pricing lists. The customer base spans three verticals — automotive (primary), industrial/manufacturing (primary), and museums/cultural institutions (secondary) — supported by a fourth horizontal segment of general business ICT support. Customer-concentration evidence is thin but suggests dependence on a small set of enterprise clients.

More recently, GMB has extended beyond its industrial/automotive base into a secondary digital-transformation practice targeting museums and cultural institutions. This practice delivers immersive VR/AR experiences, 360-degree immersive classrooms, and a FrameVR.io-based 'GMB VR Virtual Lounge' that pairs VR headsets with 3D reconstructions, spatial audio, and interactive content. While smaller in revenue weight than the core consulting line, this productized VR layer is the most visible evidence of forward expansion and is supported through a collaboration with Holoweb on the web/technology surface.
