Ptg Consulting Ag

What Ptg Consulting Ag does

PTG Consulting AG is a privately held German stock corporation (AG) headquartered in Würzburg, Germany, operating as the SAP consulting entity of the Prof. Thome Gruppe. The company was originally founded in December 2012 as IBIS Business Consulting AG and reconstituted in 2023 through the merger of AI-ILV GmbH and IBIS Business Consulting AG. PTG provides end-to-end SAP consulting, implementation, customization, and support services for SAP Business ByDesign, SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP Cloud ERP, alongside electronic procurement and public tender management services (eVergabe) for public authorities and bidders. Its customer base spans German Mittelstand companies, public sector contracting entities (Vergabestellen), field service operators, fashion industry firms, and bidders on public tenders.

The company's product portfolio centers on SAP Business ByDesign as the core platform, augmented by a suite of proprietary add-ons: IBIS Field-Service4ByD (an SAP Qualified Partner-Packaged Solution implementable in 3-5 months), Fashion4ByDesign (fashion-specific model/size management), IBIS Cockpits (multi-project and liquidity planning dashboards), PTG Efficiency Tools (productivity add-ons including purchase order upload, exchange rate updaters, and mass-change offers), and an EDI Customer Invoicing integration with Besitec supporting Peppol and multiple e-invoice formats. Technology capabilities extend to Robotic Process Automation (Unattended Bots for automated bank statement processing) and machine learning-based predictive analytics for opportunity win probability and payment delay forecasting. As a certified SAP Silver Partner and Value Added Reseller, PTG combines cloud consulting expertise—many consultants dating to ByDesign's 2007 inception—with deep regulatory knowledge of public procurement procedures.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: SAP professional services (implementation, customization, migration, in-house staffing), SAP software resale (subscription/licenses as VAR), managed application support services, and structured eVergabe service tiers (Basis, Expert, Professional). Pricing is predominantly quote-based consulting, with packaged Field-Service implementations priced at €50,000-€80,000 and recurring SAP ByDesign licenses from €1,500/month. Add-on solutions are distributed via the SAP Store as endorsed applications. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales primarily targeting the DACH region.
