The whole chain. Coordinated from one place.
Marketplaces find vendors. Inspectors check goods. Distributors sell parts. Integrators install them — but rarely does anyone coordinate the whole chain. ITDA-S brings manufacturers, specialists and industrial customers together, makes clear who is responsible for what, and coordinates the agreed work — for Automation, IoT, Services and Cloud.

The gap
Everyone covers one link. Hardly anyone coordinates the chain.
Bringing a part from an Asian factory into a running European installation takes four links. Today each link has its own provider — and the open questions fall into the gaps between them: who checks the documents, who is the importer, who keeps the installation running.
- 1SourceFind and qualify the right part — from Asia or Europe.
- 2Make EU-ReadyClarify roles (manufacturer, importer, distributor), check the documents, have gaps closed by the responsible party — with compliance partners.
- 3IntegrateInstall, configure and commission on site.
- 4SustainPlan spare parts, alternatives and update commitments with the suppliers.

EU-Ready by ITDA-S
Clear roles. Pre-checked documents. The right partners.
ITDA-S closes that gap by coordination. For every project we clarify who acts as manufacturer, importer and distributor, collect and pre-check the documents, and bring in the importer, compliance and logistics partners the project needs — before anything is shipped.

Role map
Who is manufacturer, importer and distributor — determined from the planned transaction and documented in writing before work begins.

Document pre-check
Declaration of conformity, test reports, RED / EN 18031 and CRA status — collected and checked for completeness.

Risk level + alternative
Every article we propose carries a risk level (supply, lifecycle, compliance) and, where one exists, a named alternative product.

Integrated, not just delivered
Engineering and commissioning by partners such as QmiSoft — on site in Europe or remotely.
Our roadmap
Three steps: coordinate, cooperate, then a platform
ITDA-S is planned in three steps — each one builds on the one before.
- 01
1 · Coordinate & check — now
We clarify roles, pre-check documents and find the right cooperation partners for each project.
- 02
2 · Exchange & projects — next
Partners exchange experience, develop projects together and attract new projects and cooperations — in a protected partner area with personal accounts that will be built for this step.
- 03
3 · EU-Ready e-commerce platform — later, under evaluation
An e-commerce platform for EU-Ready products; capabilities, timing and transaction model are still being evaluated.
The Europe–Asia corridor
One corridor. Two markets. Closing the gaps in between.
Many cross-border projects run into trouble in the space between the parties — language, standards, expectations, responsibilities. ITDA-S works exactly in that space: based in Austria under EU law, and building a network of cooperation partners in the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

Parts & Components
Sourcing coordinated with suppliers: ITDA-S organises, together with suppliers and partners, the parts needed to implement and run Automation, IoT, Services and Cloud — from European vendors and suppliers in China and Hong Kong. The suppliers sell and deliver; ITDA-S coordinates.
- Sourcing coordinated with suppliers in Europe and Asia
- Document pre-check — the EU-Ready approach
- Logistics, customs & documents — with partners
- Spare-part and lifecycle planning
The cooperation model
One entry point. The right partners for each project.
ITDA-S is the entry point and coordinator towards the client. For each project we assemble the right partners — suppliers, compliance specialists, logistics and engineering partners such as QmiSoft — and define who is responsible for what before work begins.
Your companyOne entry point, one plan — in your language.

Our principles
Open by design. Innovative by choice. Built to last.
01
Openness
Selected partners — but never a closed club. We are not limited to a fixed set of vendors: the best product wins, wherever it comes from.
02
Innovation
We always look for the innovative product — new technologies, better components, smarter concepts for your application.
03
Stability & long-term planning
Planned for years of operation: lifecycle information, spare-part plans and alternative concepts — requested from and, where possible, agreed with the suppliers.
04
Risk intelligence
International projects carry risks. We make them visible, keep the advantages and avoid unnecessary risk — every article we propose comes with a risk level and, where one exists, an alternative.
How we work
From first conversation to running project in four steps
- 1
Discover
You describe the opportunity or requirement — product, project or market. A rough brief is enough.
- 2
Connect
We identify suitable companies and expertise in Europe and Asia.
- 3
Define
Roles, scope, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed in writing.
- 4
Develop
The agreed work is coordinated with the selected partners — technical steps with engineering partners such as QmiSoft.
FAQ
Common questions
What does “EU-Ready by ITDA-S” mean?
EU-Ready is the ITDA-S approach for every project: we determine who acts as manufacturer, importer and distributor, collect and pre-check the documents, give each article a risk level and, where one exists, a named alternative, and bring in the partners the project needs. It is not an official EU approval or certification and not legal advice.
Is ITDA-S the importer of the products?
Not by default. Who is importer, manufacturer or distributor follows from the actual product and transaction. ITDA-S makes these roles visible and documents them in writing for each project — where needed with a partner who acts as importer.
When does the ITDA-S platform open?
An e-commerce platform for EU-Ready products is planned as the third step; capabilities, timing and transaction model are still being evaluated. Today we work on request. Vendors and partners can already apply through onboarding.
What does ITDA-S do?
ITDA-S is an Austria-based B2B cooperation brand for trade, technology and integration. It connects manufacturers, industrial companies and technology specialists in Europe and Asia, defines roles and responsibilities for each project and coordinates the agreed work — in Automation, IoT, Services and Cloud.
How is ITDA-S related to QmiSoft?
ITDA-S and QmiSoft are brands of the same owner, Fa. DI(FH) Herbert Schrank, Birkfeld, Austria. In ITDA-S projects QmiSoft is the engineering partner for software, automation, IoT and IT integration. As both are brands of one sole proprietorship, work delivered by QmiSoft is contracted with the same legal entity.
Who is my contract partner?
The contracting parties are named for each engagement. For services offered under the ITDA-S brand, the contract partner is Fa. DI(FH) Herbert Schrank, Birkfeld, Austria. Suppliers and other partners contract under their own name for what they deliver.
Do you also help Asian companies enter Europe?
Yes. We support companies from China and Hong Kong with partner introductions, communication and EU market-entry preparation. Who acts as the statutory importer follows from each transaction and is documented per product.
In which languages can we work?
English, German and Chinese.
