Cologne, August 18, 2025 – Inspired Consulting GmbH announces the launch of Squid Data Hub, a new software platform designed to streamline data management in industrial engineering projects. The solution enables engineers to handle information on cables, piping, and equipment in a consistent and structured way across disciplines and throughout different project stages.
The development of Squid Data Hub is rooted in years of hands-on collaboration with industrial engineering teams. The platform addresses a clear need: a dedicated system that organizes vast volumes of technical data, ensures consistency, and improves connectivity in complex plant and infrastructure projects.
“Engineering projects often suffer from fragmented data landscapes — with cables, devices, and piping information scattered across multiple tools, spreadsheets, or departments,” explained Oliver Tigges, Managing Director of Inspired Consulting. “With Squid Data Hub, we’re offering a central platform that consolidates this information, makes it accessible across disciplines, and reduces the friction engineers face in their daily work.”
Squid Data Hub integrates seamlessly with widely used engineering tools, including EPLAN P8, AutoCAD, and Revit, supporting continuity across platforms and reducing duplicate data entry.
By providing a single structured environment for managing system elements such as cables and devices, the platform ensures traceable updates and fosters collaboration among project teams, contractors, and engineering departments. Its modern web interface and standardized import/export options further enhance usability and transparency.
“We see Squid Data Hub as a continuously evolving platform,” said Christian Albrecht, Managing Director of Inspired Consulting. “It’s not a static product but one we will keep enhancing together with our users, based on real project needs and feedback.”
Squid Data Hub is now available to engineering teams looking to bring greater organization and consistency to their technical data workflows.
Inspired Consulting offers tailored demo sessions to showcase the platform’s features and discuss how it can be adapted to specific project environments.
