About this list
Munich's project bench is industrial, and the documented systems run inside the client's plant or tenant. Pexon Consulting publishes the numbers most of the page lacks: Deutz's private retrieval platform in its own Azure tenant reached 5,000-plus users and took freight-invoice checking from three days per batch to eight minutes, and Klinikum Landsberg am Lech's speech documentation, live since March 2025, cut documentation effort by more than 90 percent. elunic documents AI.SEE inspection on live lines at thyssenkrupp Automotive Body Solutions, DB Cargo (up to 400 freight wagons a day) and voestalpine, plus the Murrlin assistant over 95,000-plus Murrelektronik articles, with no reject rate or payback in any write-up. b.telligent's KUKA sales assistant and CSS Insurance classifier publish latency and nothing else. coompanion's STM Invest pipeline routes 700-plus documents a month with payback reported at 2.5 months. RedOrbit names client, stack and calendar for three 2025 builds, without a measured result.
The sorting question in Munich is whether a number exists after go-live. The installations are real and the before-and-after is mostly missing, so ask each reference what the reject rate, inspection time or hours actually did, and read a write-up that stops at latency as a description, not a result. Then ask who signs: b.telligent contracts through separate German, Austrian, Swiss and Romanian companies, elunic's imprint and its voestalpine study name different entities, and Pexon's visible leadership is four business roles beside one Head of Azure, so confirm who holds the contract and where the engineers sit.

Expert Insight
Why project-based fit matters
A fixed scope protects both sides only when the acceptance criteria are written: ask for them before the rate, because a project without them becomes a retainer nobody agreed to.
The handover decides whether the project was an asset or a dependency: pipelines, evaluation sets and retraining procedures belong in the deliverables list.
The pilot-to-production gap is the main risk of project work in AI: the case studies here that describe operations and measured results are the ones that show an agency has crossed it.
Frequently asked questions
5 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with a Munich base. The current top-ranked are b.telligent, elunic, coompanion — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.
Published rates across this page's agencies run €85–175 per hour (median ~€130). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.
Every agency here documents project-based work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate project-based engagements deliberately.
