The Foundation: MD-Premium as a Flexible Platform Framework

The success of LuniLog hinges largely on the exceptional flexibility of the MD-Premium Framework. Multidata enables companies and partners to go far beyond standard functionalities and develop complex, industry-specific solutions. Partner companies with deep industry expertise particularly benefit from MD-Premium’s open architecture, which allows them to translate their own ideas and specific customer requirements into tailor-made software solutions.

“MD-Premium forms the foundation for developing solutions like LuniLog,” explains Roland Rogner, CCO at Multidata. “The ability for partners to directly transform their expertise into market-ready applications is a decisive advantage. With MD-Premium, we offer a platform that is not only flexible but also meets the highest standards of individuality and efficiency.”

LuniLog is based on the CRM and WSA modules, which serve as the technical basis for processes, data storage, workflow management, as well as role and permission structures. This modular architecture makes MD-Premium an ideal platform for highly individual yet efficiently implementable solutions.

A Partner for the Future

Multidata is pleased to have secured Lukas Karl Engineering Office as a partner for LuniLog. This collaboration once again demonstrates how the MD-Premium Framework serves as a flexible solution for specific requirements across various industries.

“We are proud to have developed a forward-looking solution for technical inspections with LuniLog,” says Rogner. “Our goal is to continue helping partners like Lukas Karl Engineering Office transform their visions into market-ready solutions and drive digitalization forward.”

Classification: Why Industry-Specific Cloud Platforms Are Growing

LuniLog exemplifies a trend in the B2B software market: horizontal platforms are increasingly being supplemented by industry-specific customizations that deeply integrate into specialized processes. The reason lies in rising requirements for traceability, documentation, and auditability. Technical inspections in industries such as manufacturing, plant engineering, or the public sector demand an unbroken chain of evidence that cannot easily be replicated on generic low-code platforms.

Framework-based approaches like MD-Premium combine the advantages of a mature technical foundation with the necessary adaptability for specific use cases. For IT decision-makers, this means there is now a third option-besides developing custom software from scratch or settling for the limitations of a standard solution-with controlled effort. LuniLog’s modular structure, featuring CRM and WSA as core building blocks, serves as an example of this approach.

What Data Sovereignty Specifically Means in the DACH Region

Operation by synaforce is not a marketing gimmick but a core feature of the LuniLog architecture. Technical test data often contains sensitive information about plant operators, structural conditions, or safety-relevant configurations. Hosting outside the DACH region or in infrastructures with transatlantic data access capabilities is unacceptable for many clients. By using synaforce as the operator, LuniLog leverages a BSI-C5-certified data center under German jurisdiction.

This simplifies compliance documentation for testing service providers. Instead of having to provide extensive evidence during client audits regarding cloud providers and their subcontractors, LuniLog can simply refer to synaforce’s certification basis. This saves effort in every customer relationship and positions the solution as a standard for regulated industries. Especially for audits in the public sector, in KRITIS facilities, and at systemically important industrial plants, this combination of technical depth and regulatory clarity serves as a decisive differentiating factor.

Application Scenarios in Practice

Technical inspections cover a broad spectrum. Typical use cases for a platform like LuniLog range from recurring electrical safety tests according to DGUV Regulation 3, pressure equipment inspections as per the Occupational Safety Ordinance, to plant inspections in the chemical industry or the energy sector. For inspection service providers, the unified platform offers the opportunity to handle different types of inspections within a single system, without having to maintain separate solutions for each regulatory framework.

Another area of application is predictive maintenance, where inspection data are systematically evaluated to optimize plant availability. The audit-proof storage of all inspection results creates the data foundation upon which subsequent analyses can be built. Combined with the REST API, data can be transferred to ERP, CAFM, or asset management systems, allowing inspection data to be integrated into an overarching maintenance strategy.

For clients of inspection service providers, a platform like LuniLog means greater transparency. Instead of paper-based reports or heterogeneous PDF exports, a digital audit trail is created that can be analyzed at the touch of a button. This not only simplifies internal quality assurance but also facilitates collaboration with regulatory authorities, insurers, and auditors, who are increasingly expecting structured digital evidence. In this environment, paper-based processes are becoming more and more of a cost factor-and a real risk during audits-because the effort required to locate and verify documentation can quickly escalate in critical situations.

What the Partnership Between Multidata and synaforce Means

The combination of a platform framework (Multidata MD-Premium) and a specialized hosting partner (synaforce) illustrates how modern cloud solutions for German SMEs are developed through division of labor. Multidata provides the technical foundation and industry expertise for partner integrations, while synaforce ensures a regulatory-compliant operating environment. This arrangement benefits end customers because both partners remain focused on their core competencies, jointly delivering a service package that could not be achieved as a standalone platform or an isolated hosting service.

For Multidata, the partnership simultaneously opens access to a broadly diversified data center network with BSI C5 certification and nationwide coverage. This lowers the barriers for partners such as the engineering firm Lukas Karl, which aims to deploy its industry-specific solution at clients with stringent compliance requirements. Rather than building their own hosting infrastructure or negotiating with international cloud providers, they can now leverage a documented German operating environment-often cited as a prerequisite in public tenders.

Outlook: Where the Industry is Heading in 2026

The market for industry-specific inspection and maintenance software has been growing at a double-digit rate for several years. Drivers include increasing regulatory complexity, a shortage of skilled inspection personnel, and digitalization initiatives across many industrial companies. Market research firms predict continued growth in Europe in this segment, particularly for solutions that offer hosting guarantees based in Germany or the EU.

For IT decision-makers looking to digitize their own inspection or maintenance processes, it’s worth considering combined offerings such as LuniLog. Instead of procuring platform components, hosting services, and industry-specific knowledge separately, integrated packages are available that can be deployed more quickly and require less integration effort. The partnership between Multidata and synaforce serves as an example of how German mid-sized providers can compete effectively against large international platform vendors by dividing tasks according to their respective strengths and clearly defining responsibilities among the platform layer, industry expertise, and operational level. It is precisely this clear division of roles that often determines whether a solution can truly sustain itself in productive use among industrial and inspection service customers in the DACH region.
