Daily reality today
An island for every tool.
Many tools · no connection
The same data kept in four places. When they disagree, someone asks around which figure is right. Every report is done by hand.
Mid-sized business · industry · logistics · public sector
Software and AI for
whatever slows you
down every day.
Data typed in twice, Excel lists everywhere, systems that will not talk to each other. We look at where your time actually goes, build the software around it and use AI only where it genuinely takes work off someone's desk. You get one contact for all of it, from the first question to well after go-live.

Projects · Outcomes
Four projects.
And what came out of them.
Picked from more than 75 projects since 2023. The numbers below come from live operation at the client, not from a slide deck.
Move2Beruf.de
Career orientation for the Ruhr region.
Schools, companies and young people find each other on this platform. The cities of Herne and Bochum commissioned us with it, from the first concept through to the day-to-day operation we still run today.

Mechanical engineering · worldwide sales
Gneuß Kunststofftechnik
The sales material sat on three continents, every copy in a different state. Today it all comes out of one platform, including offline on the laptop at a trade fair.
10 language versions from one source, on the same footing worldwide Read the case Freight forwarding · 80 dispatchersEX-LOG GmbH
Ten years of standard software, plus eight home-grown Excel worlds. We rebuilt the freight-forwarding ERP from scratch. It took 14 months, and daily business never stopped.
3× faster order processing, same team. Shift handover in 5 instead of 45 minutes Read the case Transport · 120 vehiclesYS Transporte
Three years of telematics data were sitting there, and daily business left no time to look at them. Today the AI proposes routes and explains every proposal. Dispatch still makes the call.

Who you work with
You talk to Florian.
Right from the start.
“The good ideas rarely come out of a requirements document. They come from the people who run the process every day. So that is who I sit down with first.”
Florian comes from corporate IT and mid-market consulting and has run Pixelschnitzel since 2023. He advises, and he writes code himself. So nobody on the project hears about your intro call second hand. And you will not have to explain it all again after a handover.
Why Pixelschnitzel
Ten tools become
one system.
A legacy ERP, a handful of Excel lists, plus tools somebody introduced at some point. We connect what should stay and rebuild what no longer pays for itself.
With Pixelschnitzel
One connected whole.
One source of truth
DATEV, the ERP and the telematics stay where they are and get connected. Everything is built at your pace, piece by piece.
What we do
Three disciplines,
one contact.
Split consulting, software development and AI across three vendors and you will spend a lot of time mediating between them. Here it all sits in the same hands — from Herne, for the Ruhr region and all of Germany.
01 · Consulting
Listening comes
before coding.
We sit down with your teams and watch how the work actually runs today. Then we tell you where software will make a difference. And where it will not.
02 · Software development
Built around
your workflow.
Not an off-the-shelf product you have to bend your process into. Modular, plugged into the systems you already run, and written so someone can still work with it in five years.
03 · Artificial intelligence
AI that takes
work off your hands.
Reading receipts, pre-sorting mail, making manuals searchable. All things somebody does by hand today. On request the whole thing runs on your own hardware.
What to expect: software projects start at €5,000, AI projects at €10,000. What yours will cost is in the quote before we start — with a business case if you want one. Book a call
Ready-made building blocks
Some of it is
already standing.
Requirements we kept running into we built once, properly. If one of them fits you, it saves you time and money. If none of them do, we will say so.

How a project runs
with us.
At every stage you know where the project stands, what it has cost so far and what comes next. You will not have to ask.
01
Understand
30 minutes on the phone. You talk, we ask. At the end we say whether this is worth doing for you.
02
Analyse
We come by, watch people work and look for the point with the biggest lever. With a business case on request.
03
Design
You get a quote that says what will be built, what it costs and which assumptions sit behind it.
04
Build
You click through real interim versions early. Whatever does not fit gets changed while changing it is still cheap.
05
Run
After go-live everything stays as you know it: same number, same contact, further development included.
In time / in budget: we do the maths before we build, then deliver what was agreed.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we hear
all the time.
These seven come up in almost every intro call. So you may as well have the answers beforehand.
Who does Pixelschnitzel work for?
Mid-sized businesses, industry, logistics, the public sector and
chambers. More than 10,000 people work in the systems we have built.
Our office is in Herne, our work covers all of Germany.
What does custom software cost?
Software starts at €5,000, AI projects at €10,000. Before you spend
anything we put the numbers on the table, with a business case and ROI
on request. For SMEs in NRW there is a grant of up to 50% on AI
consulting and testing from 17 August 2026. We help with the
application.
How does a project start, and when do we see results?
With a free 30-minute intro call. After that we work in short loops
and you see real interim versions early. Depending on scope, something
usable often arrives within a few weeks.
Can you connect our existing systems?
Yes, that is the normal case. DATEV, legacy ERPs, telematics,
SharePoint or specialised systems all get connected. We only replace
what demonstrably no longer pays for itself.
Are your solutions GDPR-compliant, and where does our data live?
Our systems run in German data centres, under a data processing
agreement. On request entirely inside your own infrastructure. For AI
the rule is simple: nothing is trained on your data.
Do you work with our in-house IT?
Gladly. Architecture decisions are made together and the source code
belongs to you. Your IT can co-develop at any time, or take the whole
thing over later.
Who is our point of contact?
Florian Brosig, the owner, from the first conversation to well after
go-live. You get a direct line and a person who knows your project.
Intro call
30 minutes.
Then you know where you stand.
You describe what is not working. Florian asks questions and tells you at the end whether a project is worth it and roughly what it would cost. If the answer is no, you still know more than before.
- Free, no sales pressure, no contract
- Phone, video or on site with you
