Turning competitor data into structured, actionable insight for teams that need clarity, not just information.
Systematic competitive analysis at any scale from a single product teardown to a cross-site, multi-market program.
Every valuable idea captured, tracked, and developed from workshop floor to product implementation.
Automated data recognition that eliminates manual effort and keeps your team focused on decisions, not data entry.
Calidat carries a legacy of engineering excellence — a deep understanding of what manufacturers truly need to compete, built over years of hands-on experience. Not just tools, but partnerships grounded in trust, integrity, and shared success. That same commitment is embedded into every product we build.
Our mission is to challenge the industrial status quo — enabling companies to become technologically stronger, more transparent, and more competitive through data-driven benchmarking and applied innovation. Calidat is how that mission scales.

INDEC
Industrial Development and Consulting was founded with a clear purpose: to redefine how engineering companies understand and respond to competition. What started as hands-on consulting became methodology. That methodology became tools. Those tools are now Calidat.
Every milestone in our history reflects a real client challenge solved, a new market entered, or a capability built from scratch. This is what 25 years of competitive engineering intelligence looks like in practice.
Industrial Development and Consulting established in Lippstadt, Germany redefining strategic competitive analysis and technical benchmarking for global manufacturers.
GOBENCH deployed across automotive, aerospace, appliances, and agricultural machinery trusted by Continental, Mercedes-Benz, Miele, ThyssenKrupp, Magna, and more.
INDEC launches Calidat to bring GOBENCH, GOIDEA, and AI-Tools to engineering teams worldwide as scalable, cloud-based solutions.
