Seize opportunities and avoid risks before they reach your order book.

Gopf helps manufacturers seize opportunities and avoid risks before they reach their order book. We build a living map of your company's ecosystem – customers, competitors, suppliers and markets – and AI reads external sources and your internal data against it. What comes out are prioritized signals, each with what it means for your business and the sources behind it, delivered into the tools your teams already use: Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, SAP and email. B2B software plus a team.

A change in your ecosystem that matters to your business: a customer expanding, a competitor launching or certifying a product, a supplier in trouble, a new regulation or funding programme. Each signal carries a priority, a plain-language explanation of what it means for you, a suggested owner and numbered sources you can open. Headlines that don't touch your ecosystem never become signals.

Yes – and more. Competitors are one of four layers in your ecosystem map, next to customers, suppliers and markets. Gopf picks up what competitors do in the market – new plants, products, certifications, partnerships, acquisitions – and tells you what it means for your position. The difference to classic competitive intelligence tools: signals are ranked against your own business, not against a keyword list.

Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and SAP, plus email and the Gopf platform. Signals are posted to the Teams channels of the teams that own them, briefings and the signal history are filed in SharePoint, and SAP tells Gopf who your suppliers are and which orders are open, so relevance is measured against your real business. Gopf is an SAP partner. Details are on our integrations page.

Only what you choose to connect – typically suppliers and open orders from SAP and selected documents from SharePoint. It is used to judge what's relevant to you, never to train models. All data lives in Switzerland, in a Google Cloud data center in Zurich, on an instance isolated for your company. AI models process data with zero retention. Gopf is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.

From the open web, at scale – with our own scraping infrastructure. We send thousands of niche keywords to multiple search engines twice a day, score every source for credibility, and keep a full archived copy of everything we collect. That's what makes every signal traceable: years later you can still open the original source, even if the website has disappeared. We can also build custom scrapers for sources your industry relies on.

Alerts filter by keyword; Gopf filters by relevance to your business. A media monitor tells you a supplier was mentioned. Gopf tells you the supplier is restructuring, how much of your volume depends on it and which team should look at it – with the sources attached.

A chatbot only answers the questions you think to ask, from a few dozen websites a search happened to visit – and gives a different answer each time. Gopf watches your ecosystem continuously and tells you about the changes you didn't know to ask about, with the same traceable sources every time. Your questions and data are never used to train anyone's models, and nothing leaves our infrastructure.

We're a tool and a team – not a consultancy. Classic market research delivers a snapshot after months, for CHF 80,000–200,000+. Gopf runs continuously, at roughly a tenth of the cost, with every claim traceable to its source. We also don't do strategic consulting: we deliver the signals and the evidence, and the strategy call stays yours.

Yes – choosing where to grow next is one of the most common use cases. Every candidate market is scored on size, growth, competition density and available funding and placed on an opportunity map, which then stays current because market signals keep updating it.

Manufacturing and industrial companies in Europe and the US – management, strategy, sales and business development, and procurement teams – plus private equity firms that monitor their portfolio companies. If your teams need to notice market changes before they show up in the numbers, Gopf was built for you.

We start with a small proof of value on your own ecosystem, so you see real signals before committing. From there, an initial project builds your ecosystem map and connects your tools, and a flat yearly subscription keeps it running – platform included, with unlimited users. All in, you typically land at roughly a tenth of a comparable consulting engagement, with no surprise invoices.

You can start on the Gopf platform right away, with no IT work, and see first signals within days. The platform works fully without any internal connectors; if you want SAP, Teams or SharePoint connected, we set that up with your IT whenever it suits you. A full proof of value takes two to three weeks. Onboarding a new user takes 10–20 minutes – there's no steep learning curve. Within a few months, your teams' feedback has calibrated the prioritization to your business.
