Stoupa & Partners AG

What Stoupa & Partners AG does

Stoupa & Partners AG is a privately held Swiss consulting firm headquartered in Münsingen (Canton of Bern) that delivers reengineering, organizational, and IT project services to medium and large industrial, logistics, trading, and government clients. Founded in 1997 and led by Managing Director and Board President Libor F. Stoupa alongside Annette Stoupa and partner Michael Halfar, the firm has built its reputation over more than 27 years on over 1,000 cumulative projects, with a deliberate specialization in complex problem solving and "special cases" where larger generalist consultancies tend to underperform.

The firm's core technical offering is built around contactless identification using RFID/NFC and Auto-ID technologies, deployed in manufacturer-independent, customer-specific, or standard module configurations intended to maximize investment security for buyers. Productized solution modules span goods and object identification, person identification, animal and plant identification, traceability/rückverfolgbarkeit across the value chain, intralogistics automation with ERP integration, mobile maintenance with offline-capable field data capture, and container/reusable packaging management with lifecycle monitoring. Adjacent consulting practices cover innovation processes, logistics, production concepts, business processes, and corporate strategy.

The business model is direct, partner-led professional services sold through enterprise field sales — phone, email, and a website contact form — with the first consultation provided free of charge and engagement scope spanning analysis, concept, implementation, integration, training, data migration, and ongoing maintenance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped holistically per project. Customer evidence spans marquee industrial and transport names (Siemens, Lufthansa, ÖBB, voestalpine, Boehringer Ingelheim, Vetropack, ETA SA, Shell Lubricants Switzerland), Swiss federal and cantonal government bodies (Federal Chancellery, BBL, Swisstopo, EDA, BJ, SECO, BBT, DDPS, Agroscope), and selective service-sector clients (Swisscom IT Services, Die Mobiliar, Spital Limmattal, publisuisse, Messe Schweiz).

Broad incumbents

• HID Global: Large identification and IoT solutions business covering RFID, NFC and contactless identification across enterprise and government. Comparable to Stoupa in target use cases (asset/people identification), albeit at vastly greater scale.
• Zebra Technologies: Global provider of enterprise asset tracking, scanning and RFID solutions, including intralogistics and warehouse-management offerings. Overlaps with Stoupa's intralogistics and traceability implementations at industrial customers.
• Impinj: Leading global RAIN RFID platform provider selling tags, readers and software to enterprise customers. A broad incumbent competing with Stoupa indirectly by enabling partners to deliver the integration work Stoupa performs.
• Avery Dennison: Global materials science company with a major RFID inlay and solutions business serving retail, logistics and industrial customers. Competes with Stoupa where Stoupa's clients evaluate full-stack RFID offerings.

Direct peers

• CoreRFID: UK-based RFID consultancy delivering integration, asset tracking, and tag-system implementation services. Closely comparable to Stoupa in scale, manufacturer-independent positioning, and project-based delivery of RFID/Auto-ID solutions to mid-sized and enterprise clients.
• RFID Global Solution: US-based RFID solutions integrator focused on asset tracking, inventory and supply-chain visibility. Comparable to Stoupa in selling bespoke Auto-ID implementations rather than proprietary RFID hardware.
• Cennox: Global RFID and field-services provider specialising in lock hardware, asset tracking, and identification solutions for banks, retail and industrial customers. Comparable to Stoupa as a vendor-agnostic RFID services and solutions firm.

Emerging players

• Terso Solutions: Provider of RFID-enabled inventory management solutions for healthcare, life-sciences and industrial customers. Overlaps with Stoupa's intralogistics, container-management and mobile-maintenance offerings in target segments.
• Confidex: Specialist provider of RFID tags and industrial Auto-ID solutions serving logistics, manufacturing and rail customers including rail operators. Comparable to Stoupa in serving rail/industrial RFID use cases like those of ÖBB.

Others

• Implement Consulting Group: Nordic management and technology consulting firm combining strategy, operations and digital implementation work. Comparable to Stoupa as a similarly specialist, project-based consultancy that combines reengineering with technology implementation.
