The Dutch consultancy Dimensys has its sights set on international expansion. To fuel its ambitions, the 20-year-old consultancy has received funding from Holland Capital.

“In Holland Capital we have found a strong and strategic sparring partner who can help us with scaling the business and with a buy-and-build strategy. This will enable us to continue growing nationally and internationally in the years to come, ”said Alexander Haas, CEO of Dimensys.

With a team of around 150 consultants and employees working from offices in Den Bosch and Antwerp, Dimensys is a medium-sized player in the Dutch consulting landscape. In the niche in which the company operates – SAP implementation services and operational excellence in asset-intensive industries – Dimensys is one of the leading consulting firms.

The company helps clients such as majors such as ASML, ProRail, Infrabel and Heijmans optimize the use of their assets. Dimensys specializes in intelligent monitoring, process optimization and digitization and supports its customers in redesigning their systems, increasing the efficiency of machines or extending the service life of infrastructure systems such as cables, buildings or public facilities.

This segment of consulting is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. The so-called “Industry 4.0” revolution [the convergence of numerous emerging technologies such as cloud, IoT and robotisation] in capital-intensive sectors offers companies unprecedented potential for improving their business and wealth management.

This is where consulting firms such as Dimensys come into play, and in light of the market opportunities, Dimensys management has set itself the goal of expanding its already leading position in the Benelux countries and opening up new markets. In the first place are the German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Ewout Prins, Managing Partner at Holland Capital, explains why the private equity firm believes in these ambitions: “Dimensys has a differentiated offering in the area of ​​SAP Asset and Product Lifecycle Management and helps customers with the complex challenges associated with management and operations of capital assets. We see many opportunities for Dimensys to grow further, both organically and through Buy & Build. ”
