At many companies, a big part of the day goes to work nobody enjoys: retyping data from one system into another, keeping lists up to date in Excel, sending emails to ask where things stand. That work is error-prone and keeps your people from what they do best. We're a small software team based in Alkmaar, and we automate those processes with software that fits the way your business works.

What we automate

  • Recurring workflows

    Requests, approvals and notifications that automatically follow the right route.

  • Systems that talk to each other

    Enter data once, and it's updated everywhere automatically.

  • A single source of truth

    One central place for your data, with dashboards that show how things are going.

  • Smart tools

    AI that prepares the tedious work, and a human who makes the call.

Which processes should you automate?

Not everything needs to be automated. It pays off especially for work that:

  • comes up often and is done the same way every time;
  • currently goes back and forth by hand between systems, spreadsheets or inboxes;
  • is prone to errors, when a mistake costs money or customers;
  • depends on the one person who knows how it's done.

A good rule of thumb: if someone does it every week and sighs at the thought of it, it's a candidate.

Why custom?

There are great tools for simple automations, and if they do the job, we'll recommend them. But as soon as your process strays from the standard path, with exceptions, your own rules or systems without a clean integration, those tools hit their limits. With custom software, we build the automation around your process, instead of your process around the tool. And you're not locked into per-user or per-action fees.

Starting where the work happens

We start with the people who do the work. Together, we map out how a process really runs today, including the exceptions and workarounds. The biggest gains are often somewhere you wouldn't expect. Then we automate in steps, starting with the part that takes the most time. That way, you see results quickly, and with every step we learn what can be improved. For us, automation doesn't mean people disappear: wherever judgment is needed, your team stays in control.

What do you get out of it?

Less manual work, fewer errors and better insight into how your business is running. At Granuband, we streamlined the inspection process so less experienced staff can work with it too, and built a central data layer with a dashboard for insight and traceability. Inspectors can always correct the machine's outcome. At De Dieu, the admin panel replaces a lot of phone calls and emails. Or as the administrator puts it: "The app's admin panel saves me a lot of phone calls and emails every day." And for De Whisky Specialist, we developed an experimental AI tool that speeds up adding new stock to the online store.

What does process automation cost?

That depends on the process and the systems involved. An integration that keeps two systems in sync is a different job from a completely new workflow with dashboards. What helps: together, we look at how much time a process takes today, so you can weigh the investment against what it delivers. We start with the automation that delivers the most, and build on it once it has proven itself.
