Consulting Cockpit: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Consulting Cockpit is a web application for small IT consultancies and agencies from GRAN Software Solutions GmbH in Berlin, Germany. It combines time tracking, client and project management, purchase orders and framework agreements, budget tracking, utilisation analysis, leave management and invoicing in one platform. Invoices follow the EN 16931 e-invoice standard, including ZUGFeRD, and timesheets can be converted into invoices. It is delivered as software as a service, with a free trial period offered by the vendor.

GRAN Software Solutions is a German company, and no foreign parent is named. According to the vendor's privacy policy, the platform runs on infrastructure providers in the EU and EEA: Hetzner, in Germany and Finland, and Scaleway, in Poland and France. The vendor states that data is stored exclusively within the EU/EEA, that a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR is concluded at registration, and that new sub-processors are announced fourteen days in advance with a right to object. For European consultancies handling client rates and time records, this documented provider chain is relevant.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Consulting Cockpit

Consulting Cockpit is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Consulting Cockpit scores best on data residency.

Consulting Cockpit is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Consulting Cockpit together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
