General view of the company building of Digital Life Sciences

Digital Life Sciences GmbH

Since 2007, we as Digital Life Sciences GmbH are the partner of d.velop AG for GxP-compliant documentation solutions. Thilo Gukelberger and Dieter Schulten manage the company with the long-time expertise of former employees of d.velop AG. Thus, we are also significant co-inventors of our basic product d.velop documents (formerly d.3ecm), which is now used by more than 13,750 customers worldwide as a central ECM/DMS/archive system. Our solutions see themselves as a complementary supplement to d.velop documents (formerly d.3ecm). They primarily address document-based processes of manufacturing/production and the quality management. In addition to our customers of the classical Life Sciences industry (pharmaceutical, medical technology, food supplements, cosmetics), also customers from the steel industry and the service sector trust our solutions.

d.velop AG

With more than 1,000 employees in the d.velop group, d.velop AG, founded in 1992 by Christoph Pliete and Thilo Gukelberger, develops and markets software that optimizes document-based business and decision-making processes in companies. More than 3.25 million users trust the efficient document management and archiving.

Software that makes sense

We develop software that really fulfils the industry requirements of our customers. That’s why our products are developed in collaboration with our customers. All necessary functions are included, all unnecessary ones are removed.

Within reach

Digitalisation made in Münsterland, Germany. Our contact details are backed up by genuine and honest contacts. This makes our customers feel that they are in good hands and makes it easier for them to take the plunge into digitalisation.

High level of expertise

With years of experience in quality management and document management software, we know exactly what is important to our customers. Our software is always up to date with the latest regulations. This means that our customers don’t just have one provider, but a partner at eye level.

Reliable partner

Our customers do not have to take the step towards digitalisation alone. With reliable support and customised project management, we accompany the implementation and use as extensively as possible – so that not only our customers are secure, but also their data.

Value proposition & values

For us, digitalisation means security

We develop software as a solution for the challenges of tomorrow – from compliance with the latest regulations to the reliable storage and organisation of documents. Our customers know where their data is at all times.

We use our many years of expertise to help our customers move forward. We know that this only works in a trusting partnership.

Hand in hand – with security
