What 11a pipedrive consulting does

11A Pipedrive Consulting (legal entity: 11A Solutions, trading as 11A Pipedrive Beratung) is a German boutique consultancy founded by Samuel Hartmann that specializes exclusively in implementing, configuring, and optimizing Pipedrive CRM for B2B sales organizations. Registered in Birkenwerder and operating from Berlin, the firm serves clients remotely across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and deliberately does not work with other CRM platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho. The website positions itself against the German Mittelstand as well as real-estate agencies, family offices, and venture capital funds, with the founder acting as the sole senior consultant and primary client point of contact.

The service portfolio spans ten modular consulting offerings: Pipedrive setup and optimization, sales-pipeline and process design, follow-up systems, workflow automation, integrations with Microsoft 365/Outlook, Google Workspace, Asana, OneDrive, and Calendly, data migration from Excel or other CRMs, reporting and forecasting configuration, team training and enablement, and post-go-live ongoing support. Engagements typically begin with a free 15-minute consultation booked via Calendly, proceed through a workshop/audit phase, and culminate in a two-week implementation cycle. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, varying by project complexity, integration count, and customization. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees plus optional managed-services retainers, with no product licensing, marketplace, or transaction-based income.

The firm employs 2-10 people — primarily the founder plus on-demand freelancers engaged via freelancerteam.de — and operates as an unincorporated owner-managed entity (VAT ID: DE434471001) without external investment, a parent company, or institutional backing. Notable reference customers include Q96 Real Estate (mid-market) and an unnamed Family Office in real-estate investment (enterprise). Marketing is conducted through the company website, the founder's LinkedIn presence, and organic referrals, with no paid advertising. The business is best characterized as a solo-practitioner specialist consultancy scaling via freelancers rather than headcount.

Direct peers

• Versino AG: DACH-based consultancy delivering Pipedrive and Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations for mid-market B2B companies. Comparable in size, geography, and CRM-implementation focus to 11A, making it the closest direct peer in the German market.
• mindsquare GmbH: German Microsoft-focused IT consultancy with a dedicated CRM/business applications practice serving mid-market clients in DACH. Overlaps with 11A on CRM configuration, integration, and rollout services, though broader across the Microsoft stack.
• IT-CUBE Systems AG: DACH-based CRM and collaboration consultancy (notably Microsoft/Pipedrive-adjacent). Comparable customer segment (mid-market B2B) and similar service-only model: configuration, integration, training, and ongoing support rather than product development.

Broad incumbents

• All for One Group SE: Large DACH-listed ERP/CRM consultancy (mid-market focus across SAP, Microsoft, and other platforms). Vastly larger and broader than 11A but overlaps on CRM implementation, process consulting, and managed support for similar German Mittelstand customers.
• BearingPoint: European management and technology consultancy with a strong CRM/digital sales transformation practice serving mid-market and enterprise clients. Competes with 11A in DACH on CRM-led sales process transformation but operates at much larger scale and breadth.
• Slalom: Global consulting firm with a dedicated CRM/Sales practice (Salesforce, Microsoft, and other platforms). Targets similar sales-transformation outcomes as 11A but from a much broader portfolio and a brand-led, multi-staff engagement model.
• Capgemini: Global systems integrator with a substantial CRM and customer-experience practice covering Salesforce, Microsoft, and SAP. Competes indirectly with 11A on enterprise-grade CRM rollouts and operates well above 11A's scale and footprint.
• Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): Global IT services firm with a large CRM/digital transformation practice serving European mid-market and enterprise clients. Overlaps with 11A on CRM-led sales process work, particularly for companies standardizing on major platforms and adjacent tools.
