Less manual work, shorter lead times and lower cost per process. We start with what costs you the most and make the gain measurable.

An order that arrives by email automatically becomes a sales order in the ERP; a price that deviates from the contract goes to your team for a check first.

An example: order processing with an AI layer. Any process that costs time or money can work this way.

The question is not what you can automate. The question is what it delivers.

Any process that costs time, money or customers is a candidate. We start with the pain, work out what solving it is worth and only build when it pays off.

Errors and rework

Retyping, searching and pasting between systems. Every manual step is a chance for a mistake that costs money later.

Lead times your customers notice

A quote, an answer or a delivery waits for someone with time. Your customer waits with it.

Costs that grow with your volume

More orders, cases or customers now means more manual work. Every step of growth costs extra hours.

How we solve it

The solution follows from the problem, not the other way round. These are the building blocks we use most often.

Connections between your software

Data flows automatically between CRM, accounting, webshop and ERP. Standard integrations where possible, custom API integrations where needed.

Exact OnlineAFASHubSpotShopify

Workflows with your rules

Approvals, task assignment and escalations that follow your company's rules. Everyone knows what has to happen.

Reports that build themselves

Figures from all your systems, combined and sent to the right people at fixed times. No manual work in Excel.

Generating and reading documents

Quotes, contracts and invoices from your own templates. Incoming invoices and delivery notes are read and processed.

Email that sorts itself

Incoming email recognized, routed and, where possible, prepared. What matters reaches the right person.

Custom work for your exceptions

Pricing rules, planning or compliance checks that fit no standard tool. Built in code that is yours.

You are not buying automation. You are buying a result.

Up front, we agree what has to improve and how we will measure it. Afterwards, we show you what it delivered.

Lower cost per process

Measured in cost per order, case or invoice.

Shorter lead time

Measured in time from request to completion.

Fewer errors

Measured in corrections and rework.

Growth without extra people

Measured in volume per employee.

Measure

The efficiency audit. We map your processes, take a baseline and show you where it pays off, and where it does not.

02About four weeks

Build

We build inside your existing systems, in short rounds your team tests itself. The work carries on as normal.

Working software every round, not slides

Own

You get everything in your hands. We measure what it delivers against the baseline and adjust. You can leave maintenance with us or run it yourself.

Results measured against the baseline, no per-user license

What we build is yours.

No platform you rent and no costs that grow with your usage. You get the software itself, with everything needed to understand and run it.

Frequently asked questions

Not seeing your question? Ask it in the audit.

Costs vary significantly per project. Simple automations (like Zapier integrations between 2-3 tools) require a smaller investment than complex workflows with custom logic and multiple systems. Most businesses recover their investment in 3-6 months through saved labor hours. We always provide a tailored quote after the free assessment, so you know exactly what it costs before you start.

We implement standard integrations in 1-2 weeks. Custom automations take 3-6 weeks depending on complexity. We work agile with weekly updates so you see value immediately. Your team needs minimal changes: the goal is to remove work, not add it. We train your employees in a 1-2 hour session and deliver documentation for future team members.

Yes, we design for that from the start. Low-code automations (Zapier, Make) you can adjust yourself with brief training. For custom code we deliver clear documentation and optionally a maintenance contract where we implement changes the next business day. We build modularly so modifications are quick and affordable: no vendor lock-in.

In 95% of cases: yes. We integrate with virtually all common business software: Exact Online, Xero, QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, WooCommerce, Shopify, and hundreds of others. If your software has an API (or even just Excel export), we can work with it. During the free scan we immediately check if integrations are possible.

We build error detection and notifications into every workflow. If something goes wrong you get an immediate notification with details so you can intervene before there's impact. Critical processes (like payments or customer communication) always have a human checkpoint. We monitor automations 24/7 and for failures you're helped within 4 hours (business days). We optionally offer 24/7 support with accelerated response times.

We look together at what costs you the most. You get a baseline, an overview of where it pays off and where it does not, and a proposal for the first step.
