We have already worked for the sector, but due to NDAs and KRITIS requirements we cannot publicly show specific customer names and logos. We are happy to discuss suitable references confidentially in a personal conversation.
One system for quoting, manufacturing and supply chain – sovereign and traceable
You juggle between bills of materials, quote calculation, manufacturing orders, purchasing and spare parts supply – often in systems that don't talk to each other. Every duplicate entry costs time, every transfer error costs margin.
PixelMechanics connects ERP, AI pre-calculation, CRM and spare parts supply into one end-to-end, traceable system based on Odoo and HubSpot – with central data integration into a data warehouse for real-time analytics, GDPR-compliant and hosted in Germany with an eye on KRITIS requirements.
Since 2008 we have been digitalizing mid-sized businesses and industry – including the defense and security industry. We have already worked for the sector, but due to NDAs and KRITIS requirements we cannot publicly show specific references and logos. Nevertheless, we bring this experience to every project, so that software turns into real control.

One data foundation for reliable figures
ERP, CRM and manufacturing data flow together end to end in a central data warehouse. This creates reliable, traceable reports and dashboards on margin, on-time delivery and utilization – a shared data foundation instead of isolated analyses.
Security and sovereignty included
In the defense industry, data sovereignty is not a preference but a requirement: a European software stack, on-premises operation, exclusively European AI models on request – and traceability that holds up to NIS2 requirements as well.

What does a data warehouse bring to the defense industry?
We connect ERP, CRM, shop, and machine data end to end to a central data warehouse. This gives you reliable reports and dashboards on margin, on-time delivery, and utilization – instead of isolated analyses in Excel.
Is the AI implementation GDPR-compliant?

Do we have to implement everything at once?
No. We digitalize step by step, following the biggest lever – without slowing down your ongoing operations. We review existing systems and only integrate or replace them where it's worthwhile.
What does the implementation cost and how long does it take?
That depends on scope and existing systems. In the free potential analysis, we show you the biggest digitalization lever and a realistic range for effort and duration.
How do you handle classified security and sensitive data?
The platform runs on European infrastructure or entirely on-premises at your own site. Access is role-based and logged, and US cloud services are not required – this makes approvals easier in security-sensitive projects.
Does the platform support traceability and inspection documentation?
Yes. Batches, serial numbers, and inspection results are documented seamlessly – from goods receipt through to delivery. Audits and customer traceability requirements can be met without extra effort.
