Service · Business automation
Less routine. More business.
Typing up enquiries, copying data from A to B, chasing replies: tasks like these eat up hours every week. We connect your tools and automate recurring workflows – so you can focus on what only you can do.
Where it makes sense and pays off – with an honest cost-benefit assessment upfront instead of technology for technology's sake.

Know these time-wasters?
Small tasks, big effort.
Maintaining data twice
Contact details from the form into the CRM, orders into accounting, participants onto the list – all by hand. It takes time and causes errors.
Enquiries go unanswered
An enquiry comes in on Friday evening and gets answered on Tuesday. By then the prospect has long since asked someone else.
Follow-ups slip through
Unanswered quotes, forgotten callbacks, no review request after the project – in day-to-day business, this is the first thing to fall through the cracks.

Examples from practice
What it looks like day to day.
Enquiries without retyping
An enquiry via your website lands in your CRM automatically. You get a notification, the prospect instantly receives a personal confirmation with a booking link.
Quotes & follow-ups
Quotes are created from templates, sent and tracked. If there's no reply, the system reminds you – or sends a friendly follow-up itself.
Reviews & referrals
After a project wraps up, a workflow automatically asks your clients for a review. More social proof without you having to think about it.
Example: 30 enquiries a month, 10 minutes each for manual entry and replies – that's 5 hours a month and around 60 hours a year you get back.
Process
From time-waster to workflow.
Potential analysis
We look at your processes and find the tasks that cost the most time. You get a clear assessment of what's worth it – and what isn't. Think first, then automate.
Build & test
We connect your tools, build the workflows and test them with real data. Data protection and GDPR are part of the plan from day one.
Handover & support
You get clear documentation and a walkthrough. If you like, we monitor the workflows and adapt them as your business grows.
Review the impact
After 90 days, we look together at how much time the workflows really save, and where the next step pays off.
AI, used realistically
Where AI helps – and where it doesn't.
AI isn't an end in itself. We use it where it reliably saves time and pays off – and tell you honestly when a simple rule or a human is the better solution.
Pre-sorting and summarizing enquiries
Preparing reply drafts – a human makes the final call
Extracting data from emails and documents
Preparing content for newsletters and social media
Only services that meet your data protection requirements
Our principle: Not everything that's possible with AI is worth it. Sometimes a human is simply cheaper – we work that out honestly upfront.

What our clients say
Questions about automation
Which tools can you connect?
Almost all common ones: website forms, CRM systems, email marketing, calendars, project management, payment providers and spreadsheets – e.g. with n8n, Make, Zapier, Brevo or monday.com. Where needed, we build custom integrations.
Is automation worth it for small businesses too?
Often from just a few hours of routine work per week. What matters is the ratio of effort to savings – we work that out honestly upfront. Sometimes the simpler solution is the better one, and we'll tell you.
How much does an automation cost?
It depends on the scope. Individual workflows can often be built on a modest budget, extensive process chains cost accordingly more. After the potential analysis you receive a fixed price – and an estimate of when the investment pays off.
What about data protection?
Data protection is part of our planning. We prefer GDPR-compliant services with servers in the EU, make sure the required data processing agreements are in place and only process the data that's actually needed.
Do you use AI as well?
Yes – where it makes sense and pays off. AI is well suited to pre-sorting enquiries, summarizing texts or preparing replies. Not everything that's possible with AI is worth it: sometimes a human is simply cheaper. We check that honestly upfront.
