IMScollect GmbHIMScollect is a system for all management standards: Quality, Environment, Information Security, and Compliance on a common basis. Processes, Documents, Risks, and Audits are managed once, each standard remains separately verifiable.

More and more customers, tenders, and laws require verifiable management systems: ISO 9001 in the supply chain, ISO 27001 and NIS2 in information security, ISO 14001 in the environmental area. Work is often still done with spreadsheets, folders, and email threads, and anyone managing multiple standards maintains the same processes and documents multiple times.

Today, IMScollect covers ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001, with requirement tree, audit management, deviations, and corrective actions, risks and opportunities, processes in BPMN 2.0, document control, training, management review, as well as legal and hazardous substance registers. Companies work alone or together with their consultant, who receives their own access.

AI already helps at individual points today: It summarizes audit reports, designs processes, and reads safety data sheets. The results are drafts that humans review and approve, and every organization can turn off the AI. The direction is a digital consultant that knows the requirements of all standards and the status of the organization itself and helps continuously improve the management system.

IMScollect is developed in Münster and hosted in the EU. Founded in 2026 by Philipp Kappe, a TÜV-certified auditor, from the practice of integrated management systems.

PflegeadlerPflegeadler offers a digital platform for people who need support with care levels, care level decisions, and appeals. Users can use a low-threshold quick check to see if an appeal against a rejected or too low care level makes sense. The app then guides them step-by-step through the further case intake, the collection of important data, documents, and powers of attorney, as well as the structured preparation of the legally assisted processing.

The current focus is on care level appeals. In addition, Pflegeadler is expanding its digital entry points for applying for care levels, upgrades, care level calculators, and related care benefits. The goal is an understandable, transparent, and well-managed process that relieves relatives and clarifies the next step.

Parents rent their own space, stock it themselves, and sell children's clothing and toys—without mandatory attendance, without the stress of a typical flea market, and without the hassle of online communication and shipping. This creates a vibrant, community-driven marketplace that integrates sustainable consumption patterns into everyday life and actively involves families. Following the opening of the first LOPPI store in Rheine in 2025, LOPPI opened a second location in Münster in 2026—without investors. Simultaneously, LOPPI is developing proprietary digital tools for personnel planning and operational management as the foundation for a scalable franchise model. The long-term goal: to establish LOPPI as the leading brand for sustainable children's fashion circular systems in German-speaking countries—with the aim of making the concept technically and structurally suitable for franchise.
