From Hospital Data to Customer Success: How BerichtBiber Leverages Clean Data for Targeted Outreach

In the competitive landscape of healthcare technology, reaching the right customers at the right time can make or break a business. BerichtBiber, a German AI-powered platform that helps psychotherapists create expert reports 75% faster, discovered that their biggest challenge wasn’t building great software—it was finding and connecting with their ideal customers scattered across thousands of medical facilities.

This case study explores how BerichtBiber transformed their customer acquisition strategy by leveraging DataFuel to gather clean, structured hospital and medical facility data for precise customer outreach.

The Challenge: Finding Needles in a Healthcare Haystack

BerichtBiber’s target customers—psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals—work across diverse healthcare settings: private practices, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and specialized clinics. The traditional approach of manual research and cold outreach was proving inefficient and costly.

Key Pain Points Before DataFuel:

  • Fragmented Data Sources: Customer information spread across hospital directories, medical association websites, and facility databases
  • Manual Research Overhead: Sales team spending 60% of their time researching potential customers instead of selling
  • Outdated Contact Information: High bounce rates and failed outreach attempts due to stale data
  • Compliance Concerns: Difficulty ensuring GDPR compliance when handling sensitive healthcare data
  • Low Conversion Rates: Generic outreach messages failing to resonate with specific facility types

The Solution: Structured Healthcare Data for Targeted Outreach

BerichtBiber partnered with DataFuel to automate the collection and structuring of healthcare facility data across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This transformation enabled them to identify, segment, and reach their ideal customers with unprecedented precision.

1. Comprehensive Healthcare Facility Mapping

Using DataFuel’s automated web scraping capabilities, BerichtBiber now maintains an up-to-date database of healthcare facilities including:

{
  "facility_name": "Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf",
  "facility_type": "University Hospital",
  "departments": [
    "Psychiatry and Psychotherapy",
    "Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"
  ],
  "staff_count": 1200,
  "location": {
    "city": "Hamburg",
    "region": "Hamburg",
    "country": "Germany"

  "contact_info": {
    "main_phone": "+49 40 7410-0",
    "website": "https://www.uke.de",
    "email_pattern": "firstname.lastname@uke.de"
  },
  "specializations": [
    "Psychotherapy",
    "Psychiatric Emergency Care",
