Our story
Born out of AI research.
Hawk IVO GmbH grew out of a passion for artificial intelligence. Our roots lie in AI research, where for years we carried out optimization projects and consulting for production and shift planning.
These projects gave us an insight that shapes how we work: errors are cheapest to avoid when they arise early in planning. That is why we take qualifications and requirements into account from the earliest phase.
