Wirtschaftsforum: Mr. Löhle, could you briefly explain how CONSILIO has grown since its founding?

Jürgen Löhle: Certainly. CONSILIO GmbH was founded with the aim of providing SAP consulting that supports companies from strategy through design and implementation to continuous support. Originally, we specialized in Supply Chain Management, but gradually, through our expertise, we have evolved into a full-service provider that offers comprehensive ERP solutions. 

Wirtschaftsforum: A significant step was internationalization. Can you tell us more about your new location in the USA?

Jürgen Löhle: Indeed, expanding into the USA is an important part of our growth strategy. We have opened a new location in Chicago to be closer to our customers in North America and to better understand and meet their needs. This presence allows us to handle local projects more efficiently and to seize new market opportunities. There is a large demand for our services there, especially the need for cloud solutions is increasing significantly.

Wirtschaftsforum: How does internationalization affect your marketing and communication strategies?

Jürgen Löhle: Internationalization brings new challenges but also opportunities. We must adapt our communication to different cultures and markets. To present complex topics in an understandable and appealing manner and thus effectively reach various target groups, we work closely with our consultants.

Wirtschaftsforum: What challenges do you see in the coming years and how are you preparing for them?

Jürgen Löhle: The foremost challenge is the shortage of skilled workers, especially in the IT sector. We offer attractive working conditions such as flat hierarchies, a family-like atmosphere, and competitive salaries. Our international locations enable our employees to work flexibly and develop further. Moreover, we invest heavily in training and development to keep our employees up-to-date.

Wirtschaftsforum: How has the pandemic affected your way of working?

Jürgen Löhle: Remote work has become the norm and we have found that this has improved our efficiency and flexibility. We now often support our clients entirely remotely, which would have been unthinkable before. This change has prompted us to question existing structures and then adjust internal processes and implement new technologies to ensure seamless collaboration.

Wirtschaftsforum: Which industries do you see as particularly growth-strong for your services?

Jürgen Löhle: We see particularly strong growth in the manufacturing industry, but also in the process industry and the financial sector. These industries have a high demand for digitalization and process optimization. Our experience and expertise in these fields enable us to develop tailored solutions that meet the specific requirements of these industries.

Wirtschaftsforum: What are your future plans for CONSILIO GmbH?

Jürgen Löhle: We want to continue to grow and strengthen our innovative power. One goal is to achieve a turnover of 50 million EUR by 2030. We rely on sustainable and digital solutions to improve our processes and expand our international market share. Especially in the area of cloud and AI solutions, we see great potential.

Wirtschaftsforum: What role does technology play in this?

Jürgen Löhle: Technology is a central component of our strategy. We rely on modern cloud solutions and AI to optimize our processes and offer our clients innovative solutions. This enables us to work more efficiently and provide our clients with real added value.

Wirtschaftsforum: Is there anything else you would like to add?

Jürgen Löhle: Perhaps just that we are very proud of our team and the development of CONSILIO. We will continue to work hard to provide our clients with the best possible service and solidify our position as a leading consultancy. We look forward to future developments and everything that lies ahead. Our focus continues to be on giving our clients a competitive edge through innovative solutions and excellent service.
