Two pillars
Unternehmensberatung
We help companies to optimise their supply chain planning holistically – from strategic alignment in S&OP through to operational implementation in demand planning. Drawing on our in-depth expertise in SAP IBP, we create integrated processes, improve forecasts and enhance transparency throughout the entire value chain.
Software- und Produktentwicklung
From concept to a fully functional software product: quickly, pragmatically and without unnecessary detours. We develop our own SaaS products from start to finish and therefore know how to turn innovative ideas into scalable, market-ready solutions in the shortest possible time.
01Consulting
We help companies to optimise their supply chain planning holistically – from strategic alignment in S&OP through to operational implementation in demand planning. Drawing on our in-depth expertise in SAP IBP, we create integrated processes, improve forecasts and enhance transparency throughout the entire value chain.
We align planning with corporate strategy: an S&OP process in which sales, operations and finance work from one shared set of numbers. Roles, cadence and decision paths are defined so that bottlenecks and conflicting targets surface early and decisions are made where they belong.
From sales forecast to operational execution: we structure demand planning so that statistical methods and market knowledge come together. Forecast quality becomes measurable, planning assumptions become traceable, and the forecast turns into a reliable basis for procurement and production.
In-depth SAP IBP expertise from project practice: we translate business requirements into a robust system design of planning levels, key figures and data flows — and support both rollout and further development, so the tool turns into integrated processes and real transparency across the value chain.
02Software and product development
We build our own SaaS products end-to-end and apply the same standards to yours: design system, security by default, EU data residency and an AI-accelerated process.
Web apps and SaaS products from a single source: discovery, prototype and MVP, UX/UI with a design system, implementation and further development. Our own products are built to the same standards.
Question catalogues, calculation logic and grown Excel processes become a web application with roles, history and analytics. Expert knowledge becomes repeatable and sellable.
Language models where they measurably shorten work: evaluating answers, summarising text, drafting reports. Embedded in validated logic, privacy-conscious and provider-flexible.
Analytics engines, interactive dashboards and forecasts built on your data and public economic sources. Plus PDF and PowerPoint reports at the push of a button, white-label if required.
We connect applications via API to SAP S/4HANA, SAP IBP, ERP systems and existing data sources. Our in-house SAP IBP consulting knows the planning data that flows through them.
Multi-tenancy, roles and login, audit logging, payment flows and GDPR-oriented hosting in Frankfurt come as standard. After launch we take care of operations, maintenance and further development.
Our products
Both products are built end-to-end in-house: proven consulting methodology becomes market-ready software. The same standards, building blocks and speed flow into our client projects.

Beyond Horizon.IndexIn development
Beyond Horizon.Index links your own sales figures to the economic indicators that lead them. Upload a time series as CSV and see within minutes how it is built: trend, seasonality, outliers, cycle phase.
The difference is the next step: Beyond Horizon.Index automatically identifies the indicators that demonstrably lead your business and ranks them by lead time and statistical relationship. Combined with your own market knowledge, which can be added to the project indicator systematically, this becomes an anticipation system for your planning that can flow back into your planning system as an external influencer, optimising your forecast.
Every recommendation is rule-based and traceable – no black box. Built for controlling, demand planning and executive management in manufacturing companies, from mid-sized firms to DAX corporations; no data science background required.

03Company
Location
Beyond Horizon is a Berlin start-up: small, fast and close to our clients' topics. Since January 2026 we have also been offering space in a shared office, currently occupied by a publishing house and a music production company.
The environment is creative and inspiring, and at the same time leaves room for calm, focused work. This is where our products are built, where we prepare consulting projects and where we take care of our clients' requests.
We work in small teams: AI-accelerated, senior-led, with documented decisions. And we build on an EU foundation: GDPR-oriented with local product hosting.
Community
Week after week, football is lived at Sportfreunde with passion, togetherness and a great deal of voluntary commitment. Values such as fairness, dedication and teamwork play a central role. Values that matter at Beyond Horizon in our daily work together, too.
