45-minute independent strategy call
The full first conversation. Includes an initial SCOReX® assessment of your ERP situation.
Book the callOne methodology, ten sectors, always the specifics that matter.
Every DACH Mittelstand sector runs on different KPIs, regulations, and process shapes. Dreher Consulting brings the same independent ERP and digitalisation methodology to all of them — with sector-specific pattern recognition from over 1,200 programmes across Food & Drink, Retail, Engineering, Medical Technologies, and more.
Why it matters
Generic ERP consulting treats every sector the same. Industry-adjacent consulting adds a few sector-specific pain points to a generic playbook. True industry-tailored consulting starts from the operational reality of the sector — the regulations, the KPIs, the process shapes, the failure modes — and sequences the work accordingly.
For a Mittelstand company, the difference is measurable: shorter selection cycles, fewer requirements gaps, lower go-live risk, faster adoption. Sector-specific pattern recognition doesn’t replace the methodology — it decides where to apply it first.
Each sector has its own challenges and KPIs. Select your industry to explore common pain points, case studies, and proven ways companies in the DACH region are succeeding.

The questions managing directors ask us before they engage. Honest answers about our services, our approach, and how we support mid-market businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Five main industries — Supply & Production, Engineering, Construction & Project Development, Food & Drink and Medical Technologies — plus Pharma & Life Sciences, Retail & Distribution, Professional Services, Start-ups and Investors & Finance. The pattern recognition behind it comes from 1,200+ ERP, process and digitalisation projects in the DACH Mittelstand since 1992.
It doesn't replace the methodology — it decides where to apply it first. Sector experience means the regulations, KPIs and failure modes are known before the analysis starts: allergen traceability in food, MDR validation in medical technology, batch traceability in wholesale. The measurable difference is shorter selection cycles, fewer requirements gaps and lower go-live risk.
Yes — named and quantified. Hagos eG (B2B wholesale, 73% lower master-data error rate), a global environmental-technology manufacturer (85% fewer Excel-driven processes), yfood (growth stabilised with ERP and financial governance), INERATEC (e-fuels start-up, 35% faster project creation) and a biopharma manufacturer (nearly 60% less manual tracking effort).
With a free 45-minute conversation. If both sides see a fit, the Decision Architecture Assessment (DAA™) follows: target scenario, decision logic and project approach in 1–2 weeks — before budget or organisation are committed. The result is yours to keep either way.
