    Before / After

    5 typical pains - and the build behind them

    Hours of manual quote calculation.

    AI-powered configurator: quotes in minutes, higher hit rate.

    Service tickets pile up, knowledge is scattered.

    AI assistant for service & sales: real-time answers based on your own documents.

    30 years of data sit unused in the ERP.

    Custom AI model turns process data into a new product - sellable to the industry.

    Skills shortage slows growth.

    Automation replaces routine, employees focus on value creation.

    AI projects end in PowerPoint.

    Hackathon → prototype → pilot → product: built in weeks, not years.

    Investment range

    Pilots that pay off.

    We typically start with tightly scoped pilot builds - big enough to deliver real value, small enough to ship fast.

    Typical pilot build

    €15 - 75k

    indicative, depending on scope, data and integration depth

    from €15k~ €35kup to €75k

    What a pilot includes

    • Use-case sharpening & technical scope
    • Build from prototype to productive pilot
    • Integration with existing systems (where needed)
    • Enablement of your team & handover
