When Homatic’s CSO, Claus Rode, talks to new companies, he sometimes encounters preconceived notions of the consulting industry. Det kan være historier om uforholdsmæssigt høje priser og tilfældige standardprofiler, der hurtigt sendes afsted.

“Off-the-shelf solutions belong in the supermarket – not in the consulting industry. At Homatic, we always start with the specific client and the specific task, and we handpick a consultant who matches both the required expertise and the personality,” Claus Rode says.

Extra skills for the technical tasks

Companies typically contact Homatic when projects grow, new orders land, or when specialized technical knowledge is lacking. Here, it is crucial that the consultant both has the right skills and understands his role.

Therefore, Homatic spends time familiarizing itself with the task and the customer’s needs before the dialogue is entered into with a potential consultant. Not only does this provide an exact match – it also ensures that the consultant goes into the task with a clear picture of the expectations and an environment in which they thrive. Experience shows that this is an essential prerequisite for a high professional level and a stable delivery.

The network consists of permanent experienced engineers and technicians, who many customers demand again because the collaboration works.

When does what make the most sense

According to Claus Rode, permanent employees and consultants each play an important role:

• Permanent employees provide stability and deep product insight.
• Consultants bring flexibility, specialized knowledge and extra capacity.

For many companies, the combination is the strongest solution.

Three common questions from companies

When do you use a consultant?

When specific technical knowledge or quick extra capacity is needed.

How long does a consultancy engagement typically last?

It depends on the project – from a few months to longer periods. The duration is defined by the task, not a standard package.

What profiles can Homatic deliver?

Engineers and technicians in e.g. software development, hardware development, as well as testing and project management, but also in mechanics and automation. All with practical experience from the industry and solid technical skills.

For Claus, it is ultimately about finding the solution that provides the most value for the company – whether it is a permanent employee, a consultant or a combination.
