What PIERER Innovation GmbH does

PIERER Innovation GmbH, operating under the trade name NIMBLE Innovation, is an Austria-based B2B professional services firm founded in 2018 that delivers end-to-end digital transformation consulting, development, and implementation. The company serves enterprise clients seeking to augment and extend their digital value chains through tailored solutions spanning AI and data science, IoT and connected systems, smart business process modelling, and innovation consulting. With approximately 60 employees distributed across three Austrian offices (headquarters at Digital Center 1 in Wels, an R&D centre in Anif, and the Tabakfabrik location in Linz), the firm operates a regional, consultative delivery model rather than a packaged-product or SaaS model.

Technically, NIMBLE Innovation combines a proprietary "flexible toolkit" of AI, IoT, and automation capabilities with established enterprise platforms — notably UiPath for robotic process automation, Mendix for low-code application development, and ServiceNow for digital workflow. The company states it selects the most suitable technological foundation for each client engagement rather than imposing a single stack, positioning itself as a hybrid systems integrator and innovation consultancy. Its service portfolio is structured around four interconnected pillars: AI & Data Science, Smart Business Solutions, Connected Systems, and Innovation Consulting, which together cover the lifecycle from strategy formulation through to implementation.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with pricing described as quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with no disclosed channel or reseller partners, supported by a primarily digital presence (corporate website and LinkedIn). The company is privately held as an Austrian GmbH with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding rounds; its historical PIERER Innovation brand has been rebranded to NIMBLE Innovation, though the underlying legal entity retains the PIERER name.
