The pressure comes from three sides
Skills shortage
The people who understand your products are hard to replace. And they are the ones spending their time on documentation, enquiries and evidence.
Regulation
MDR, audits, customer requirements, new markets. The burden of proof grows every year — your team does not grow at the same pace.
Made in Germany
You develop and manufacture here, with German labour costs and documentation duties. Set up like that, you have to be faster at everything else.
