Business digitalisation and automation/ we design and deliver software solutions

From paper, spreadsheets and phone calls to one system that runs the business. We design it around how your company actually works, build it and roll it out — with the same people from the first conversation to the day you use it.

Who this is for

If you recognise yourself in any of these, you are in the right place.

Construction and installation firms

The site runs on paper and phone calls. A supervisor forgets something, and someone drives across the country for three valves.

Requisitions from the site, and output logged per worker

Wholesale and warehousing

The delivery note arrives with the goods and someone retypes it. At stocktake the numbers are wrong and nobody knows where it went wrong.

Photograph the delivery note; the lines post themselves as a receipt

Retail chains

Every shop has its own price, its own count and its own spreadsheet. Head office sees stock two days late.

One price list and one stock figure, the same in every shop

Accounting practices

The client brings in a bag of paper. Everything is scanned and retyped by hand, and the same invoice sometimes gets entered twice.

Documents read themselves; a person only checks what is in doubt

Transport and logistics

Jobs are handed out by phone, vehicles are untracked, and detention is measured after the fact, so it usually goes unbilled.

A dispatch board, vehicle tracking, and detention measured automatically

Hotels and hospitality

Maintenance and purchasing are requested by phone or in passing. What actually got done is known only if someone remembers.

Work orders with deadlines and a report per property

Private schools and nurseries

Enrolment, payments and attendance live in spreadsheets. Parents phone to ask what they could see for themselves.

A parent portal and payment records nobody has to retype

Field service and maintenance

The technician does the job, writes it in a notepad, and brings the paper in whenever. The invoice goes out two days late.

The job is closed on the spot and the invoice goes out the same day

Your industry not listed? The problem is nearly always the same — write to us and we will check.

What we do

From putting the first system into a company that still works by hand, to architecture that survives growth.

About

Twelve years on systems that are not allowed to stop — retail, transport, logistics, payments. Digitalisation and AI are not a new field for us but a new application of the same work: data that must not be lost, and a system that holds when things go wrong.

PRINCIPLES

01

Decisions get written down

Every decision about how the system is put together carries a written reason. In a year, anyone can check whether that reason still holds — and change the decision knowing what they are changing.

02

We say so when you do not need us

If an off-the-shelf program covers your business, we will tell you, even though it is less work for us. A recommendation that always leads back to us is not a recommendation, it is a pitch.

03

Measured after rollout

How many hours stopped being retyped, how many errors disappeared, how much faster a quote goes out. If the effect is not visible in numbers, the job is not finished.

Common questions

What clients ask us before the first quote, answered without hedging.

What does business digitalisation cost?

The price depends on how much of the work enters the system and how many people use it, and it is always agreed before any work starts. The first conversation and a rough estimate are free. A smaller system covering the one point that hurts most is usually far cheaper than companies expect, and that is where we recommend starting.

How long before the system is actually running?

The first part you genuinely use is usually running within weeks, not months. Rollout happens in steps: we start at the point that hurts most, and only once that runs without paper do we move on. That way nobody is handed a new tool and the old job at the same time.

Do we have to change how we work?

No. The system is built around your business, not the other way round. We first spend time with the people who do the job every day and write down how the work actually flows, and only then design anything. People do what they did before, they just stop retyping.

What if we have a program but the vendor will not make changes?

That is a common situation and it is solvable. The existing program is analysed to see what is actually used, then a replacement runs in parallel until it is confirmed to produce the same results. Your data is migrated, and the old program is switched off only once the new one passes.

Do we need an off-the-shelf ERP or our own system?

It depends on how far your business differs from the typical one. If an off-the-shelf program covers eighty percent of what you do, buying and extending it is cheaper. If it forces you to change how you work, or denies you access to your own data, your own system pays off sooner than it looks. Before deciding, we cost both options and say which one fits.

Our system slowed down as the number of users grew. What is done about that?

First the bottleneck is measured, not assumed. Usually the problem is not the server but how the parts of the system are connected, so a bigger server solves nothing. The result is a finding with an order of moves — what first, what can wait, what should not be done at all — without rewriting everything.
