What [gaidnts] does

gaidnts (legal name: Gaidnts – in Transformation GmbH by EGC) is a Frankfurt-based business-IT consultancy founded in 2023 that targets global asset finance, auto finance, and leasing organisations. Its stated proposition is to bridge the gap between business and IT domains during core management system (CMS) transformations — specifically where these firms face outdated CMS landscapes, failed system upgrades, and shifting vendor product strategies. The firm positions itself as 'the crucial missing link in the CMS implementation value chain within the AF&L industry,' leveraging deep familiarity with FMO/CMS IT vendors and their product portfolios.

The service catalogue is organised as a full delivery lifecycle: Project Readiness and Set-up, Project Management and PMO, Requirements Management, Solution Design support, Testing and Acceptance Management, Go-Live Readiness, and Business Transformation. Delivery is human-led, with assignments staffed as either resource-based consulting or expert task-force deployments for critical situations, and pricing is value-based and quote-driven rather than standard rate cards. Gaidnts does not develop proprietary software, APIs, or SDKs — its offering is professional services only. The firm claims 45+ clients across 4 continents and 24 countries, with a managed project portfolio exceeding €200 million, though this figure reflects cumulative contracted value rather than annual revenue.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with senior-level relationship management and long sales cycles. Distribution is relationship-based and amplified by two ecosystem assets: parent company EGC Eurogroup Consulting AG (providing capital, brand, and pipeline backing) and membership in the nextcontinent global alliance of independent consulting firms (providing local and cross-border resourcing). The team is sub-ten people, with named principals bringing 8–20+ years each in AF&L transformation and 40+ years of combined experience; leadership is Kostadin Stoilov and Markus Glasow as Managing Directors, with Fabio Müller as Deputy Managing Director. No external funding rounds, revenue figures, or AI/ML capabilities have been disclosed.
