About NorthernOps

What we believe

Three convictions that shape everything.

Software should fit the process — not the other way around.

Too many manufacturers bend their workflows to fit generic tools. We build the other way: understand the process first, then write the software. Every NorthernOps module reflects real workflows from real machine builders.

Mid-market deserves enterprise quality — at mid-market prices.

SAP costs €500k+ and takes 18 months. HubSpot doesn't understand technical sales. Salesforce Service Cloud was built for call centers. NorthernOps closes this gap: enterprise functionality, mid-market pricing, weeks instead of months.

Integration beats point solutions.

Every data handoff between disconnected systems costs time, accuracy and insight. Our five modules share one data model because manufacturing processes don't happen in silos.

Founder & Team

Born from frustration. Built from conviction.

NorthernOps was founded by Daniel Wies — a sales engineer and software developer who spent years watching machine builders struggle with tools that were either too simple (spreadsheets, basic CRMs) or too complex (SAP, custom ERP).

The team combines deep manufacturing domain expertise with modern software engineering. We build with TypeScript, Next.js and PostgreSQL — not because it's trendy, but because it delivers the best user experience with the lowest operational complexity.

Technology decisions

Deliberately modern. Deliberately open.

Made in Germany

German hosting, German support, German documentation. GDPR compliance without creative interpretation.

Modern stack

TypeScript end-to-end, Next.js frontends, PostgreSQL. No legacy technology, no vendor lock-in.

AI-native

AI is not a bolt-on feature. It's embedded in lead research, spec analysis, dispatch optimization and quality prediction.

API-first

Every function accessible via REST API. Your ERP, your BI tool, your custom integration — everything connects.

Self-hosted option

Docker-based. Your infrastructure, your control. Or as managed cloud — you decide.

Modular architecture

Start with one module, expand when ready. Each module works standalone — but delivers more value in combination.
