I am an entrepreneur and a passionate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Manufacturing guy.

After selling my previous company (NETRONIC Software) to and integrating it into Boyum IT, my brother Elmar and I took a break to identify and build "the next Karlowitsch thing".

This break is over, and we have skin in the game again. We followed our hearts, souls, and brains and decided to play where we can both deliver the most value and have the most fun. Hence, our new venture lets us build Pulseoniq - a new manufacturing ISV that is 100% focused on Business Central. With Pulseoniq, we deliver quiet intelligence to noisy shopfloors.

We build real-time execution intelligence and control apps for discrete make-to-order manufacturers on Business Central who keep getting surprised by their own shopfloor. Unlike conventional tools that promise a better plan — or data capture apps that record what already went wrong — our apps tell your customers what's happening, what's starting to slip, and what they have to do next on the shopfloor before the customer calls.

Last, but not least, I am the author of the "Business Central and Manufacturing Pulse" report.
