Digital solutions in practice

Selected projects show how a business question becomes a sound architecture and a working solution.

Three areas, one map

The three lines are not accidental – they cover the map: outward-facing or inward-facing, for the small business or the Mittelstand.

Selected projects

Werklinie

Werklinie

Digital tools for recurring office work in skilled-trade businesses.

Starting problem
Requests, quotes, documentation and company knowledge sit in separate channels and systems.
Solution principle
One coherent tool line connects these tasks with existing operations. Kollege KI is its knowledge module for search and chat across internal documents.
My contribution
Product concept, process and system architecture, interfaces, modules and integrations.
Current status
A working capability line with demos and modules – not an off-the-shelf product.
Marktradar

Marktradar

Find relevant company signals and prioritise them transparently.

Starting problem
Signals for target accounts, markets and partners are public but scattered across sources.
Solution principle
Public company signals are combined, assessed and turned into reasoned priorities.
My contribution
Research logic, scoring model, data architecture, reporting and delivery.
Current status
A working capability proof and adaptable architecture – not a finished standard SaaS.
Angebotslinie

Angebotslinie

Messy enquiries become reviewable quote drafts.

Starting problem
Enquiries arrive as emails with drawings or informal text – turning them into a quote costs hours of searching past orders and days until it goes out.
Solution principle
Requirements are extracted from enquiry and attachment, matched against your own past orders and produced as a reviewable draft – as a document or email and, where the system allows, straight into the CRM or ERP. Approval stays with a person.
My contribution
Process architecture, extraction and matching logic, integration with existing systems.
Current status
A showcase with an interactive demo – the underlying architecture runs in production at a manufacturer.
