Process Consulting
Transforming Complex Processes into Seamless Workflows.
Driving Digital Transformation in Engineering
By combining Lino® Hub with intelligent automation, we eliminate the critical 20% gap that standard software cannot cover – achieving more reliable results in less time. Every step is streamlined, from the initial inquiry to the final handover to manufacturing.
- 20+ years of expertise
- 100+ active customers
- Tangible results in under 30 days
Our Philosophy: Integration First
In complex, multi-system environments involving CAD, PDM/PLM, ERP, CRM and CPQ, workflows often break down in the final stages due to gaps left by standard software. This is where our process consulting makes a real difference:
- From Project to Product: Instead of isolated one off solutions, we develop reliable integration components that can be reused across your entire system landscape.
- Measurable Results: We aim to reduce processing times by 25–50% and errors by at least 30% across your core processes.
- AI-by-Design: We integrate artificial intelligence where it visibly improves quality and efficiency – always keeping humans in the loop.
Lino’s Consulting Principles
Innovate
Comprehensive Strategy
We support you in moving from project driven operations to a scalable, product centric architecture. Together, we establish clear objectives and ensure complete transparency through our roadmap and early access programs.
Integrate
Seamless Workflows
We streamline your data flow beyond CAD. Our Lino® Hub integration platform creates a centralized, reliable connection between your systems – whether SaaS, on premise, or hybrid.
Automate
Intelligent Workflows
We optimize your end to end workflows through targeted process automation. Our proven change enablement methodology reduces project risk and ensures strong, long term user adoption.
The Lino Promise: Quality Built in
Our consulting doesn’t stop at theory. We deliver results that are proven to work:
- Speed: Measurable business value (time-to-value) in under 30 days.
- Reliability: 99.9% uptime and fully documented, auditable data flows.
- Security: GDPR-compliant architectures and privacy-by-design.
Customers benefit from Lino® software solutions across many areas of their business. Predictable quality and a fast ROI through standardized artifacts win over management. Users benefit from the radical simplification of complex processes and intuitive operation. IT gains a future-proof architecture in heterogeneous system landscapes and is relieved of the burden through automated testing processes.
Together, we analyze your existing workflows and identify specific opportunities for more efficient, digital processes – in a practical, structured manner and with a clear focus on measurable benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs address questions about process consulting in the context of the Lino portfolio.
Discover how Lino guides mechanical and plant engineering companies through digital transformation — from process analysis and AI-powered automation to the seamless integration of CAD, PDM/PLM, ERP and CRM systems. Learn how structured process consulting reduces throughput times by up to 50%, permanently lowers error rates, and delivers measurable ROI in under 30 days.
How does Lino support the integration of heterogeneous system landscapes comprising CAD, PDM/PLM, ERP and CRM?
Modern industrial enterprises rarely operate monolithic system landscapes. Lino process consulting leverages the Lino® Hub integration platform as a central middleware layer connecting SaaS, on-premise and hybrid environments. Data silos between CAD (e.g. SolidWorks), PDM/PLM, ERP and CRM are eliminated and continuous, automated workflows are established across the enterprise. All data flows are fully documented and auditable; the architecture is Privacy-by-Design and GDPR-compliant. The platform guarantees 99.9% availability and scales modularly as business requirements evolve.
What measurable results does Lino process consulting deliver and how quickly?
Lino commits to concrete KPIs: target benchmarks include at least 25–50% shorter processing times and a reduction in error rates of at least 30% within the targeted processes. Particularly noteworthy is the time-to-value approach: the first measurable productivity gains are typically achieved in under 30 days. This is made possible by standardised artefacts, pre-configured integration modules and a proven project methodology that incorporates change management and user adoption from day one.
How does Lino integrate Artificial Intelligence into its process consulting?
At Lino, AI is embedded according to an “AI-by-Design” principle: intelligent components such as the Lino® AI Agent are deployed precisely where they deliver demonstrable gains in quality and efficiency — for example in the automated capture of customer requirements via natural language, the rule-based generation of CAD models, or the intelligent validation of product configurations. The human always remains at the centre of the process (Human-in-the-Loop): AI supports decisions rather than replacing them. This approach reduces sources of error, accelerates throughput times, and provides an auditable, GDPR-compliant infrastructure.
What does Lino mean by process consulting in mechanical and plant engineering?
Lino process consulting is a structured methodology for analysing, optimising and digitalising engineering and sales processes. At its core, it addresses the so-called 20% gap: the share of individual requirements that standard software such as CAD, PDM/PLM or ERP typically leaves unresolved. Lino closes this gap using reusable integration components built on the Lino® Hub platform — delivering scalable solutions rather than one-off fixes that fail to grow with the business. The result is end-to-end workflows that are fully digitalised and automated, from the initial customer enquiry through to error-free handover to production.
