Platform for Engineering Data Management

Cologne, August 18, 2025 – Inspired Consulting GmbH introduces Squid Data Hub, a software platform developed for data management in industrial engineering environments. The platform helps engineers manage cable, piping, and equipment data in a structured way across different disciplines and project phases.

Addressing Engineering Data Challenges

The software development draws from years of practical experience and collaboration with industrial engineers. Squid Data Hub responds to the need for a dedicated tool that brings organization, consistency, and connectivity to the extensive technical information found in industrial plant and infrastructure projects.

“In numerous industrial projects, engineers encounter fragmented data: Cables, devices, and piping information often exist in separate tools, spreadsheets, or departments,” said Oliver Tigges, Managing Director of Inspired Consulting. “Squid Data Hub provides a platform that consolidates this information in one location and makes it accessible across disciplines. It’s built to minimize friction in daily engineering work and help teams better utilize their existing data.”

Designed for Integration and Continuity

Squid Data Hub was created to integrate smoothly into existing digital environments. The platform supports data exchange with established tools such as EPLAN P8, AutoCAD, and Revit, helping engineering teams maintain workflow continuity across platforms and minimize redundant data entry.

The platform provides a structured, unified environment for managing cables, devices, and system elements. Through its modern web interface and standardized import/export capabilities, Squid Data Hub enables traceable updates and supports collaboration across project teams, contractors, and engineering departments.

“We built Squid Data Hub to evolve with its users,” said Christian Albrecht, Managing Director of Inspired Consulting. “Rather than a finished product, it’s a platform that we’ll continue developing based on actual project requirements and user input.”

Demo Sessions Available

Squid Data Hub is now available for engineering teams seeking to bring organization and consistency to their technical data management.

Inspired Consulting provides individual demo sessions to explore the platform’s functionality and discuss adaptation to specific project environments.
