Process Scan · two weeks, fixed price

Automated processes and integrated tools, powered by AI.

Many teams lose hours every week to manual work: copying data from one system into the next, keeping Excel lists up to date, chasing information by email. We find where that time goes, connect your systems and replace the workarounds with tools that are faster and easier to use. AI comes in where it makes sense.

Who we are

Built by people who ran this at scale.

Between us: a decade each in logistics, finance and operations at companies that run on process. Now we do the same for companies of 20 to 500 people.

How we work

Four steps, in this order.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Find where manual work takes the most time: re-typing, Excel lists, chasing information by email. We map the process with your team and show what it costs.

  2. 02

    Integrate

    Connect the tools you already use, such as your ERP (SAP Business One, Business Central), DATEV, HubSpot, your online shop and spreadsheets, so data moves between them without re-typing.

  3. 03

    Better tools

    Move day-to-day work out of Excel into something faster, cheaper to run and easier to use: a standard tool set up properly, an automation, or a custom app where nothing else fits.

  4. 04

    Add AI

    Bring AI into the processes you already have, where it makes sense: reading documents, checking data, answering questions from your systems.

Most AI projects fail at step 1. We start there.

Services

Three services. One foundation underneath.

  1. Steps 1–3 Assess · Integrate · Better tools

    Process Optimization through Software

    Most companies don't have a software problem; they have a handover problem. Sales enters an order, planning re-types it into a spreadsheet, logistics gets an email, finance finds out at month-end.

    We replace the spreadsheets and re-typing with tools that are faster, cheaper to run and easier to use: a standard tool set up properly, an automation, or a custom app where nothing else fits. Then we connect them, so an order placed once flows through planning, production, dispatch and invoicing without being touched again. Every step is recorded, every handover is visible, and the data is there for whatever comes next.

    Typical start One process chain, end to end — not one tool. 4–8 weeks.

  2. Steps 2–3 Integrate · Better tools

    Data Integration & Advanced Analytics

    Connect your ERP (SAP, Business Central), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), accounting (DATEV), marketplaces and Excel files into one reliable data layer with agreed definitions. Dashboards and reports people trust; cost, margin and performance questions answered in minutes rather than at month-end. Forecasting and scenario models where the data supports them.

    Marketplace and logistics platforms connected to your ERP and finance: Amazon Seller and Vendor Central (SP-API), FBA fee and settlement reports, Amazon Freight, carrier portals — reconciled, allocated to SKU and channel, booked automatically.

    Typical start One reporting process rebuilt end to end. 4–6 weeks.

  3. Step 4 Add AI

    AI Implementation

    AI where it actually works: a chat that answers questions from your ERP and database, assistants that process documents and draft quotes or orders, agents that check what humans used to check.

    Built on the data layer from steps 1–3, so answers are grounded in your numbers, not guesses.

    Typical start One assistant on one process, live in 4–6 weeks.

Showcases

  • Manufacturing

    Production planning: from Excel to a connected web platform

    A manufacturer ran assembly planning, shift plans, logistics data and order management in a web of Excel files, VBA and email. Migrated step by step into web tools on one database, hosted in the cloud, used daily by planners and the shop floor. Orders, planning, shift plans and logistics now share one database, so a change in one is visible in all — and every change is tracked, which is what made the AI layer possible afterwards.

    Systems

  • Management & sales

    AI connected with the ERP

    Management and sales ask questions in a chat, in plain language — “which orders are late and why”, “margin by customer last quarter” — and get answers from live ERP and database data with agreed definitions, instead of waiting for a report.

    Systems

    • ERP
    • SQL database
    • LLM

  • Procurement

    Offer review assistant for procurement

    An AI assistant reads supplier offers, answers a 16-point evaluation checklist automatically, flags gaps, and lets buyers ask follow-up questions on a specific offer.

    Systems

    • PDF & email intake
    • LLM

    Outcome

    less manual review time

Two weeks. Fixed price. One process, start to finish.

We map the chain — where data is re-entered, where it waits, where it's lost between departments — show where time and money leak, and give you a priced plan for the fix. If we don't find anything worth fixing, you've lost two hours of your time.
