Digital Architect for the growing Mittelstand

Your systems should reduce work. Not create more of it.

For companies without an in-house tech team: I identify where friction, cost and risk arise in your operations, and connect or extend existing systems when the economics make sense.

  • Less manual work
  • Fewer errors
  • Faster operations

Does this sound familiar?

For companies that already have software – but whose operations still stall at system boundaries.

  • Teams transfer data between spreadsheets, email and business systems
  • Information is entered repeatedly or checked manually
  • Processes span ERP, CRM, accounting and document storage
  • Reports and approvals depend on individual people

How I work

Built for your business. Owned by you.

Every solution on this site follows the same model: I solve a specific business problem with an automation built for your company – not a subscription to off-the-shelf software.

  1. 01

    Clarify the business problem

    We talk about processes, costs and bottlenecks – not technology. Only what pays off gets built.

  2. 02

    Build it tailor-made

    I build the automation around your business: your systems, your data, your priorities.

  3. 03

    Hand it over to your environment

    The solution is imported into your own cloud instance and runs there with your credentials. You own it – including every key. Ongoing AI costs are paid by you directly and transparently.

  4. 04

    Keep it running

    Your market changes, the solution keeps up. I stay on board for adjustments and support – as a predictable retainer or on demand.

Common questions before the first conversation

Do we need to change software?

Usually not. The existing system landscape is the starting point. A change is only recommended when integration is not economically viable.

Will this work with our ERP?

That depends on interfaces, data access and the process. I assess feasibility before an implementation project starts.

What does a typical project cost?

A reliable estimate follows the process check. Before implementation you receive a clearly scoped proposal rather than a generic product fee.

Getting started

Decide first, then build

A structured look at goals, processes and existing systems shows what is worth doing, what can wait and what should not be built.
