“More efficient workflows, unified know-how, and a more modern way of working”
Christian Geiger
CFO, Metallwarenfabrik Reichertshofen Karl Binder GmbH
Choose smart. Don't pay to find out the hard way.
Testers and jury? You and your team.
Once an ERP, CRM or SRM system is in place, it stays with you for many years. So the decision has to land. Our smart selection process makes usability, features and vendors tangible — in exactly the use cases your business actually runs.
How we choose
Three phases. One clear decision.
Instead of specs, screenings and RFPs, we run a process that puts your reality on stage — and lets vendors prove themselves on it.
- 01
Process analysis
We go deep — into your business model, your processes and the people who run them. Because we're not after a digital copy of the status quo. We're after a real step forward.
- 02
Screenplay
We write a screenplay. Your colleagues as protagonists, your processes as the set, your requirements as the drama. In the director's chair: you and the success of your company.
- 03
Casting
Who gets the leading role? Vendors present their solutions along the screenplay. On the jury: every project participant who'll actually work with the system later.
BAFA funding
Up to 80% subsidy on your consulting.
PASSION4IT is registered as a consulting firm with BAFA, Germany's Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (consultant ID 222542). Through the federal program "Förderung von Unternehmensberatungen für KMU", consulting costs of up to €3,500 per engagement are subsidized — as a direct, non-repayable grant.
- 50%
- Subsidy in the former West German states, Berlin, and the Leipzig region — up to €1,750.
- 80%
- Subsidy in the former East German states plus the Lüneburg and Trier regions — up to €2,800.
- Eligible: small and medium-sized enterprises and liberal professions under the EU SME definition, based or with a branch in Germany.
- Up to five funded consulting engagements per company through the end of 2026, with a maximum of two per calendar year.
- Applications are submitted online via the BAFA platform and must be filed before the consulting starts — the offer and consulting contract are only signed after approval.
- We guide you through the entire application process — from filing to the final proof of use.
Whether your project qualifies is something we clarify in the first conversation. Review and approval rest with BAFA.

Requirements specs, vendor screenings, RFPs — lots of paper, little practice. The hands-on share in our Smart Software Selection is what makes the difference: your team understands what it's deciding and has fun while doing it. Our whitepaper walks through how it works in detail.
