Our expertise
We solve problems – we increase efficiency
Our products
We are part of Volkswagen AG and we collaborate successfully across all Group brands, working not only with a number of internal departments but also with external customers and partners. Throughout our projects we work closely with the brand-specific AI teams.
We increase efficiency and facilitate enhanced predictive capacity in almost all areas, and our products also help to optimise the customer experience for businesses and brands.

Looking to the future –
in Munich
We are part of the digital transformation
Our international teams made up of experts from a wide range of disciplines spend their days turning one of today’s most important assets – data – into a tool to provide customised, user-oriented products and applications. Our Munich site offers an innovative work environment and we use agile methods to tackle projects.
Our teams have a flexible, interdisciplinary structure, which means that we are able to deploy the most suitable people at any point along the automotive value chain. Another benefit of harnessing this wealth of different perspectives is that we are able to identify completely new correlations and links and apply that knowledge in joint projects.
Your data has a wide range of uses
Our work encompasses the entire value chain
We may not actually be able to predict the future, but we can certainly make it less of a mystery.
Our products and our expertise can be applied throughout the value chain, from technical development through to procurement, marketing and after sales.
Project workflow:
1. Evaluation
The first step is to conduct a workshop to establish what your needs are and what data and data sources you have available.
We then work together to develop ideas and solutions and clarify the key elements of machine learning, big data and artificial intelligence. We will review your data and the data quality in order to determine data readiness.
Result of Phase 1:
- Transparency vis-à-vis your data and the data quality
- Roadmap and implementation plan for the collaboration
2. Project planning and prototyping
We will work with you to draw up an initial use case and test it using your existing data. This will result in a first prototype that will deliver the first measurable results for your department – providing real data and genuine benefit.
Result of Phase 2:
- Validation of your data, and proof of concept. Feedback will be gathered from users.
3. The finished product
The prototyping process involves developing a minimum viable product (MVP). With the introduction of more users, more data, additional markets and additional functionalities, this MVP develops into the fully formed, finished product. A process of continuous and comprehensive testing during the development phase results in optimum performance of the end product.
Result of Phase 3:
- A marketable end product
