IT consulting and digitalization in the Pfaffenhofen district
Escalt is based in Reichertshausen, in the south of the Landkreis Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm (the Pfaffenhofen district). Here we really are local — and here we have delivered some of the projects that show what digitalization means for a small business.
Projects from the district and the neighbourhood
- PioNa Baukonzept, Reichertshausen. A family-run drywall and interior finishing business that started without a website and without digital processes. Today the business wins orders through its website, and the handling of incoming orders is automated, as are bookkeeping and outreach to new customers.
- Freiwillige Feuerwehr Langwaid, Reichertshausen. The website of the local volunteer fire brigade — 28 active volunteers, plus a children's and youth fire brigade. Built by Escalt.
- GDC Elektro GmbH, Mainburg. An electrical contractor specialising in photovoltaics in the neighbouring Hallertau, the hop-growing region — IT consulting, IT support and website.
All projects with their scope of work are listed on the References page.
What a business in the district typically needs
The district is shaped by skilled trades, construction and small SMEs. The questions such businesses bring to us are rarely technical, but practical: how do more suitable inquiries come in? How does an inquiry turn into a quote without it being written at the kitchen table in the evening? How does bookkeeping get the receipts without someone typing them in?
The answer is usually a combination of a website that brings in inquiries and digital processes behind it. What this looks like in practice for trades businesses is described on the Skilled trades & construction page.
Short distances
From Reichertshausen to Pfaffenhofen it is only a few kilometres. For clients in the district this means: meetings at your own table instead of on a video call, and if something is not working, someone is there quickly. The same applies to the Ingolstadt area and the Hallertau.
Digitalbonus Bayern: up to 50% subsidy
The Digitalbonus Bayern programme funds digitalization projects of small and medium-sized companies with up to 50% of the eligible costs: up to 7,500 euros with Digitalbonus Standard and up to 30,000 euros with Digitalbonus Plus. In the initial consultation, Escalt checks whether your project qualifies and helps you prepare the application. The company must submit the application itself via its ELSTER business account — that is a requirement of the programme. Important: the project must not have started yet; a binding order already counts as a start.
Frequently asked questions from Pfaffenhofen
Where exactly is Escalt based?
At Scheyerer Straße 10 in 85293 Reichertshausen, in the Landkreis Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. Meetings are possible at our office or at your business.
Do you also work for small trades businesses?
Yes. PioNa Baukonzept in Reichertshausen is a family-run business that started without a website and without digital processes. Escalt typically works with companies from around ten employees upwards; whether it fits with fewer, we clarify in the initial consultation.
Who processes the Digitalbonus application in the Pfaffenhofen district?
The district belongs to the administrative region of Upper Bavaria; the responsible authority is the Regierung von Oberbayern, the district government of Upper Bavaria. For businesses in Mainburg and the rest of the Kelheim district it is the Regierung von Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria). The company submits the application itself via ELSTER; Escalt helps with the preparation.
Do you also build websites for associations?
Yes, the website of the Freiwillige Feuerwehr Langwaid is one example. Associations, however, are not eligible for funding through the Digitalbonus, which is aimed at commercial enterprises.
