Florian Baier

I help skilled trade businesses find the right digital solution for their specific problem — and make sure it actually works in daily practice.

9 years of software architecture at Mercedes-Benz

As Staff Software Architect at Mercedes-Benz, I'm responsible for data architectures and digital testing platforms for driver assistance systems (ADAS) — before that as System Architect and technical lead for big-data platforms for automated driving. Certified Professional for Software Architecture, Professional Scrum Master, and Professional Product Owner.

That way of thinking still shapes my work today: first analyze what exists, clarify requirements, then design a solution — not the other way around. No rushed tool pitches, but a structured analysis of your processes before a solution is even discussed.

Hands-on experience with tradespeople

I renovated my own house and worked closely with all kinds of trades along the way — electricians, painters, flooring installers. I know the daily reality of a job site, the coordination between trades, and where time typically gets lost.

This hands-on experience complements my technical background — I understand not just the software, but the business it has to work for.

Vendor-independent

I don't sell my own tool and I'm not tied to any vendor. My job is to find the right solution for your specific problem — and guide you through selection, rollout, and training.

That means bounded, plannable projects instead of an open-ended software subscription that might not even fit your business.
