Advice It Consulting

What Advice It Consulting does

advice IT Consulting GmbH is a German specialist consulting and systems integration firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Leopoldshöhe, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company focuses on business process automation and document management, delivering consulting, implementation, and ongoing support for DMS/ECM (document management/enterprise content management), digital mailroom, and digital invoice processing projects. Its core customer base consists of enterprise and mid-market companies operating in SAP or Non-SAP environments across diverse industries including energy supply, housing/real estate, and marine shipbuilding, with a stated track record of more than 250 reference projects and over 30 million documents processed annually across its customer base.

Technically, advice IT does not build proprietary software but configures and integrates standard commercial products from its partner ecosystem — including Ceyoniq's nscale ECM platform, insiders technologies' smart INVOICE, Kodak Alaris capture hardware/software, and PSINOVA — into client ERP, BPM, DMS, CAD, and PLM environments. Key capabilities include OCR-based invoice recognition with self-learning improvement, automated multi-channel document intake (paper, email, fax, SMS, social media), document classification and routing, workflow management, and cross-system document retrieval via SAP and Non-SAP connectors. Notable deployments include a centralized invoice processing system for innogy SE handling 650,000 invoices per year across four SAP systems and approximately 430 company codes, and a multi-decade DMS/ECM implementation for thyssenkrupp Marine Systems integrating CAD, SAP, and PLM systems.

Commercially, advice IT operates as a B2B project-based professional services firm with a manufacturer-independent (Herstellerunabhängig) positioning. Revenue is generated through consulting and implementation fees on a project-quote basis, with an initial free, non-binding consultation feeding a long, consultative sales cycle. The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise engagement and inbound project inquiries, supported by a content-driven website and published case studies. Its three managing directors — Thomas Stupp, Oliver Kreth-Ruthe, and Burkhard Rexin — lead the firm, which serves the DACH region and maintains no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries, or funding rounds.
