GKL is a market research firm specializing in price data collection and monitoring across retail and supermarket networks. The 11–50 person team—heavily weighted toward research and junior staff—is actively scaling across Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia while modernizing legacy systems: they're rolling out ClickUp and ChatGPT, rebuilding desktop tooling in .NET/WPF, and migrating data infrastructure onto SQL Server. The hiring velocity and project mix signal a shift from manual price surveys toward automated collection and internal process optimization.
