General Questions
What does SP Computer Consulting do, exactly?
We help engineering-led companies build better systems. That includes custom software development, test automation, IT security, and systems integration especially for teams working in rail, automotive, and industrial environments.
What industries do you specialize in?
We work primarily in:
– Railway & Mobility
– Automotive & Embedded Systems
– Industrial Automation & IoT
– IT Infrastructure & Digital Platforms
Where are you based?
Our team is based in Germany.
Do you only take on large projects?
Not at all. We work with both large enterprises and smaller technical teams. If the problem is complex and important, we’re interested.
What does a typical project look like?
Every project is different, but most start with a discovery phase to understand your systems and goals. From there, we design a solution, build it, test it, and support it long-term.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. Many of our clients rely on us for continuous support, updates, or phased system improvements. We’re in it for the long haul if you are.
Working With Us
Technical Capabilities
Do you work with embedded systems?
Yes. We have deep experience with embedded software, hardware-software integration, and protocol-level validation.
Can you help us with system testing and automation?
Yes. We specialise in building structured, automated testing environments that save time, reduce risk, and ensure your systems perform as expected.
What tools and frameworks do you use?
We tailor our tool set to the project and environment. That said, we’re fluent in industry standards like CANoe/CAPL, Python, C/C++, CI/CD tools, and secure architecture frameworks.
Do you follow security best practices?
Always. Security isn’t something we bolt on at the end. It’s part of how we design and build from the start.
How do we begin a project with you?
Start by reaching out. We’ll schedule a quick call to learn about your needs and see if we’re a good fit. If it makes sense, we’ll move into discovery and planning.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the scope and timing, but we’re usually able to begin discovery within 1–2 weeks.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the project. We’re pleased to provide a detailed proposal after learning more about what you need.
Still Have Questions?
