Werklinie

Digital helpers for work that gets stuck between the job site and the office.

Werklinie is a pilot workshop for clearly defined tasks in skilled-trade businesses. It complements existing software where information stalls, knowledge is hard to find or work is duplicated.

Werklinie – Desktop-Ansicht

Before

Requests, notes and knowledge in separate channels

After

Small, usable workflows for specific tasks

What is already visible

A business problem becomes tangible as a working process.

01

Organise requests

Incoming information is captured, structured and prepared for the next step.

02

Prepare quotes

Spoken or written information becomes a reviewable draft.

03

Use company knowledge

Internal documents become searchable and answers remain linked to sources.

What I contribute

From the business question to a built system.

  1. 01

    Clarify the business question

  2. 02

    Connect data and systems

  3. 03

    Build a controlled workflow

I connect process discovery, product decisions, interfaces, data paths and technical delivery. The result is not an isolated experiment but a small tool designed to fit existing operations.

Maturity and next validation

Evidence and hypothesis remain separate.

Several modules are built and live-testable. Werklinie is not a finished standard product. A clearly scoped pilot with a real business must establish which task genuinely works in daily use.

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. Monitoring, adjustments and further development run as a monthly service plan – optional, capped and cancellable at any time.

Three problem spaces. One way of working.

The projects demonstrate different sides of the same way of working: understand a business situation, choose a useful solution, build it and integrate it into existing operations.

Where does work get stuck between job site and office?

We select one specific workflow and test whether a small digital helper makes more sense than another large system.
