Digitalizing industrial value chains through integrated software and lifecycle data

Software Factory works with industrial companies looking to digitalize their entire value chain, from strategic planning through to system integration. Based in Garching bei München, the company develops and integrates software solutions, platforms, and digital systems for manufacturers and engineering firms rather than general commercial clients. Its client roster spans companies including BMW, Bosch, Bosch Rexroth, Carl Zeiss, Siemens, Siemens Energy, Liebherr, MAN, Komatsu, ABB, AGCO, Audi, and Endress+Hauser, reflecting a focus on heavy industry, automotive, and engineering sectors.

The work centers on building solutions that integrate into existing system landscapes rather than replacing them wholesale, using modern platforms and industrial software to connect operations across the production floor and back office. A stated goal is making data usable across the entire product lifecycle, which shapes how systems are designed and integrated rather than treated as isolated tools. Software Factory positions its project environment around technically demanding work, aligning with the complexity of the industrial clients it serves.

One documented example is a Smart Factory project delivered for Lorenz GmbH & Co. KG, centered on water meter manufacturing. The project illustrates the kind of value-chain digitalization Software Factory describes more broadly: connecting production systems, data, and platforms for an industrial manufacturer. Combined with its client list of established industrial and engineering firms, this points to a practice built around integration work for organizations with established systems already in place, rather than greenfield software builds.

About this agency on Agency List

Sf holds an Agency List Score of 73 out of 100.

That score is higher than 32% of the 36,919 agencies Agency List has assessed so far.

It does not measure client satisfaction, price, or availability.
