THE MARKET ENGINEERS
INNOVATION & RESOURCES

We strive to be the best when it comes to developing innovative ideas and methodologies which result in clear analyses and superior solutions for our clients. The competitive edge that our clients gain as a result is the basis and yardstick of our own performance.

Based on our experience and market trends, TIM CONSULT continuously invests in the development of innovative consultancy services and proprietary instruments to optimize the business processes and logistics & production networks of our clients.

Representative examples of our innovative strength are the market-guiding benchmarking initiatives modeled after the TIM CONSULT Community approach, TCO models for complex logistics services, solutions for flexible high-performance picking and our Market Engineering approach in BUSINESS LOGISTICS. Our PUBLIC MANAGEMENT division had developed first-of-its kind models for inter-municipal co-operation, Business Performance and Process Control (BPPC), process benchmarking, Internet-based auctions for marketing recyclables and rail-based waste-management logistics.

We have adopted state-of-the-art development methodologies and software technologies to develop our instruments. Our in-house development team constantly refines these instruments as a result of which we have at our disposal, a unique toolset which we can use to rapidly model the task constellation of clients and target functions in order to produce very high-quality results.

One example is the NetOptimizer suite which uses cutting-edge genetic algorithms to solve complex optimization problems. Others software tools include the Web-based Tender Solution Suite which is used in Market Engineering to purchase services, a game-theory process module for fair allocation of co-operation benefits and a solution to implement BPPC.

With the objective of relieving clients of tedious optimization and planning tasks, we customize the instruments and enable clients to use it on a long-term basis either in the form of software as a service (SaaS) or as a licensed product. We pursue the same objective when we assume long-term responsibility to execute repetitive business processes along a BPO model.
