What consberry does

Consberry GmbH is a privately held Hamburg-based consulting and software firm founded in 2004 by Managing Director Arne Mentz (Geschäftsführer). The company serves three primary customer segments in Germany: telecommunications companies (Telekommunikationsunternehmen), energy utilities (Energieversorger), and public-sector entities (Öffentliche Träger), with secondary segments including network operators and builders, municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), and planning companies. It is bootstrapped with 11–50 employees, holds no institutional investment, and is a member of the BREKO and BUGLAS industry associations.

The company's core product is FASTPLANET, a web-based SaaS platform built on Java/React and hosted on an ISO-27001 certified data center environment. FASTPLANET manages the full lifecycle of FTTx broadband expansion projects, including project areas, addresses, construction zones, cable route lengths, timelines, contractor commissioning, and consideration of third-party network effects. Developed internally and made available as a standalone commercial product in 2023, it serves as a strategic cockpit and management information system for German gigabit network rollout. Complementing FASTPLANET, consberry offers custom Java/React software development, domain consulting for infrastructure digitalization, and managed platform operations with 24/7 support and DevOps services.

Consberry runs a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market combining consulting-led direct engagement with FASTPLANET subscription revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates a registered office at Wulfsdorfer Weg 121 in Hamburg and a business office at Hoheluftchaussee 40A, and its geographic footprint is Germany-centric with no global expansion claims. Revenue streams comprise SaaS subscriptions, custom development services, and managed hosting/support, all characterized as recurring engagements under long-tail enterprise relationships.

Direct peers

• Vetro FiberMap: SaaS platform for fiber network mapping, planning, and management used by ISPs, municipalities, and engineering firms in North America and Europe — a direct competitor in the FTTx project lifecycle niche.
• Comsof: Belgian SaaS vendor specializing in Fiber PlanIT, automated fiber network planning software for FTTx rollouts — the closest functional peer to consberry's FASTPLANET, serving the same telecom carrier and municipality buyer base across Europe.
• 3-GIS: US-based fiber network management and design software vendor serving telecom operators and engineering firms. Comparable SaaS-centric approach to FTTx asset and construction management.
• IQGeo: UK-listed provider of geospatial network management software (Network Manager) for telecoms and utility operators, including fiber build-out workflows. Directly comparable SaaS product targeting the same broadband-expansion use cases.
• NetAdmin Systems: Swedish vendor of OSS/BSS and fiber network management software for telecom operators and municipal utilities across the Nordics and Europe. Comparable product suite and customer base of regional carriers and Stadtwerke-type utilities.

Regional players

• Allgeier: German IT services and software group with telecom and public-sector delivery capabilities, including broadband and digitization projects. Comparable German-based IT services scale and customer base, with broader portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Esri (ArcGIS): Dominant GIS platform vendor whose ArcGIS suite is widely used by telecoms and municipalities for fiber network mapping. A broad incumbent whose network-management extensions overlap with FASTPLANET's address and route management functionality.
• Capgemini Engineering: Global IT services and engineering consultancy with telecom network and smart-infrastructure practices that compete for large FTTx digitalization and integration mandates in Germany and Europe.
• Hexagon (HxGN) Geospatial: Global geospatial and infrastructure software incumbent with utility/telecom network management offerings. Provides competing functionality for telecom asset and fiber network management at enterprise scale.
• GE Digital (Smallworld Network Inventory): Established enterprise GIS/network inventory platform (formerly Smallworld) used by large telecoms and utilities. Overlaps with FASTPLANET's network and address management capabilities, but addresses a much broader portfolio beyond FTTx.
