What gigabit-consulting does

Gigabit.consulting is a German family-owned digitalization consultancy structured as a sole proprietorship under Andre Gilles, operating from Bettenfeld in Rhineland-Palatinate with a staff of 1-10. The company provides three core service lines: (1) digitalization consulting for small and medium enterprises (KMU), covering process analysis, digitalization strategy, solution selection, and implementation; (2) government funding advisory (Fördermittelberatung), specializing in BAFA-subsidized consulting programs where authorized consultants can guide clients through subsidy applications that cover up to 80% of consulting costs; and (3) gigabit.ai, an AI-powered telephone assistance system that handles inbound calls, outbound calling campaigns, appointment scheduling, lead qualification, and CRM-integrated follow-up workflows. Andre Gilles (20+ years experience, BAFA-ID 184522) and Ursula Gilles (tax specialist, PR/online marketing) lead the firm.

The business model combines professional services revenue (consulting engagements), recurring subscription revenue (gigabit.ai), and government-subsidized revenue (BAFA programs). Go-to-market is sales-led, primarily targeting German SMEs through direct outreach, free initial consultations, content marketing (blog, GILLES² podcast), and regional network partnerships including the EIFEL brand and the 'Das digitale Pflegeheim der Zukunft' entrepreneur network. The company has expanded into the healthcare/nursing vertical, supporting digitalization of care facilities with AI telephone systems, sensor technology, telemedicine infrastructure, and service robots. A coordinated ecosystem of sub-brands (gigabit.webdesign, gigabit.textkonzepte, gigabit.ai) provides complementary web design, content creation, and AI automation services. The company holds no external funding and operates as a bootstrapped sole proprietorship with no disclosed revenue figures.

Broad incumbents

• GFT Technologies SE: German IT consultancy specializing in digital transformation and core banking/digital platforms for financial services. Comparable to Gigabit.consulting as a German-headquartered digital transformation consultancy, though focused on financial services verticals.
• adesso SE: Münster-headquartered IT consultancy with strong presence across German-speaking markets in digitalization, enterprise applications, and custom software. Comparable as a German IT/digitalization consulting provider, though serving larger enterprise clients.
• Capgemini: Global management and technology consulting firm with substantial German operations covering digital transformation, AI, and enterprise modernization. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for SME digitalization and AI advisory engagements.
• msg systems AG: Large German IT and management consultancy serving enterprises and public sector across digitalization, ERP, and industry-specific solutions. Overlaps with Gigabit.consulting's SME digitalization and process-automation value proposition at much greater scale.
• Materna Information & Communications SE: German IT service provider focused on digitalization, public sector, and enterprise IT modernization. Comparable to Gigabit.consulting on the digitalization consulting axis for German Mittelstand and public-sector-adjacent clients.
• Allgeier SE: German IT consulting and technology group covering enterprise software, digitalization, and managed services. Comparable to Gigabit.consulting's technology consulting and digital transformation offerings for German Mittelstand customers.

Direct peers

• Cognigy: Düsseldorf-based enterprise conversational AI platform for customer service automation. Closely comparable to gigabit.ai's autonomous phone-agent capabilities and German SME/enterprise customer base overlap.
• Parloa: Berlin-based AI voice agent platform for enterprise customer service. Directly comparable to gigabit.ai as a German-built conversational/voice AI product targeting business phone automation, though operating at a much larger scale.
• Synthflow AI: Voice AI platform focused on SMBs and mid-market customer support and outbound calling. Comparable to gigabit.ai as a productized voice AI for business telephony, with overlap on smaller customer segments.

Others

• DATEV eG: German cooperative providing software and consulting for tax advisors, auditors, and SMEs. Comparable ecosystem player rather than direct competitor: serves the same German Mittelstand and small-business digitalization market and complements digitalization consultancies like Gigabit.consulting.
