Scaling digital products.

When digital features, ideas or pilot projects need to be turned into a viable business.

Together, we work out which revenue model will work, how the offering can be scaled, and what role it needs to play within the existing portfolio.

Typical starting points for our projects.

Digital innovation rarely fails because of the technology, but rather because of the specific characteristics of the business design.

Digital business requires different approaches.

The challenge for companies is not to ‘go digital’. It is to find the right role for digital within their own business.

  • Is digital a new business?
  • An extension of the existing portfolio?
  • A service?
  • A component of the machinery?
  • Or the core of a new generation of products?

This question should be clarified before the technological solution is developed.

Our principle.

Thinking about digital business in an integrated way.

Many companies are faced with the question of how new digital offerings fit into their existing product and service business.

We do not view digital offerings as an add-on to the existing portfolio. Right from the start, we work with you to consider how digital features interact with products, services and sales – and how this results in a scalable, integrated offering.
In this way, a digital add-on becomes an integral part of the product – and a digital project becomes part of the business.

Digital products are not simply machines with software.

They follow a different development logic – in terms of customer value, revenue model, sales and scalability.

A successful digital product does not merely generate data or provide additional functions. It makes a meaningful difference to the customer.

– It solves a problem that the customer actually has.
– It delivers a benefit that can be measured.
– It evolves alongside the customer’s process and gradually takes on more tasks.
– It can be integrated into existing business operations – or deliberately scaled up as a new business venture.

This is precisely what distinguishes a digital feature from a digital product.

Our expertise in digital business.

In many industrial companies, existing product portfolios are increasingly reaching their limits. Digital products therefore open up new opportunities for the next generation of products.

We support industrial companies in developing digital products, services and business models. Not at an organisational level, but specifically within individual projects. In doing so, we have encountered a wide variety of starting points: from the first digital feature, through new revenue models, to standalone digital offerings.

This experience helps us get to the heart of digital solutions more quickly. Because we know that it’s rarely down to just one factor. Successful digital business arises where the product, market, business model, sales and portfolio all fit together.

Results.

Digital ideas become scalable products.

Our aim isn’t just the next digital pilot project. Our aim is an offering that wins over customers, fits the company and makes a measurable contribution to the business.
