What Dr. Schmitz - die Mittelstandsberater GmbH does

Dr. Schmitz - die Mittelstandsberater GmbH is an independent ERP consulting firm headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, specializing exclusively in proALPHA ERP implementation, optimization, and integration for small and medium-sized enterprises (Mittelstand). Founded in 2009 by Dr. Jürgen Schmitz—a former proALPHA Vorstand Consulting and Deloitte Performance Management lead—the firm employs five specialists with an average of more than 10 years of proALPHA experience, serving manufacturing, automotive supply, renewable energy, water treatment, and trading clients across Europe. The registered office is in Lübeck (HRB 21400 HL) with operational headquarters at Große Theaterstraße 14, Hamburg.

The firm's core offering is project-based professional consulting: proALPHA ERP implementation, process optimization, software selection, controlling and value flow advisory, project management, system integration, and List & Label form design. The company has developed two proprietary DSP-branded add-on tools integrated with proALPHA: DSP_Stammdatentool for rule-based master data management with workflow-based validation runs, and DSP_Universal-SML for mapping and linking Sachmerkmalleisten (characteristic list) hierarchies across the part master. A third proprietary tool, DSP-Online, supports remote assistance and live product demonstrations via a downloadable executable. The firm complements consulting with seminars, in-house training, and reference case studies published as PDF downloads.

The revenue model is professional services on a project basis, sold through consultative enterprise field sales with no public pricing. The go-to-market is direct on-site engagement at customer locations across Europe, anchored by the Hamburg office, with supplementary remote support via DSP-Online and content marketing through the schmitz-partner.com website. The company is a certified proALPHA Implementierungspartner, operates as a privately held GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung), and is founder-owned, with Dr. Jürgen Schmitz serving as managing director (Geschäftsführer) and shareholder (Gesellschafter). No external investors, parent company, or stock exchange listing are indicated.
