You Built This
Company. Now It's Time to Upgrade It.
Clean up operations. Modernize technology. Implement practical AI. Through an ongoing partnership, not a one-time project.
Clean up operations. Modernize technology. Implement practical AI. Through an ongoing partnership, not a one-time project.
You've grown through relationships and hard work. Now your foundation is breaking: messy operations, outdated systems, technology decisions that keep you awake. And everyone's talking about AI.
You need someone who's done this before. Someone who understands both enterprise transformation and entrepreneurial urgency.
What This Partnership Delivers:
Senior partner dedicated to you
Clarity on what needs fixing
Someone owning problems, not advising
Path to future-proof your company
Fractional cost, full executive impact
A Story You Might Recognize
A Story You Might Recognize
Last year, we partnered with a 40-year-old German company. Generational family business. €50M revenue. 60 employees.
The CEO told us: "I understand our business perfectly. But IT decisions? AI strategies? Digital transformation? I'm making million-euro decisions on topics I don't fully grasp. The vendors just give me PowerPoints showing them in the best light."
Today, they have:
A clear 24-month digital roadmap
AI tools saving 20 hours weekly
30% reduction in software costs
Complete confidence in technology decisions
Most importantly: Their culture is intact. Their values unchanged. They're just dramatically more capable.
This is what we do: Operational upgrade partnership at your inflection point.
The Inflection Point: When Your Foundation Needs Upgrading
The Inflection Point: When Your Foundation Needs Upgrading
You've grown to 25-100 employees through relationships and hard work. But now the foundation that got you here is starting to crack:
You've grown to 25-100 employees through relationships and hard work. But now the foundation that got you here is starting to crack:
Your operations are messy and undocumented
Your operations are messy and undocumented
Processes live in people's heads. Manual work everywhere. You know it's inefficient but don't have time to fix it.
Your technology is outdated and expensive
Your technology is outdated and expensive
Your systems are old, barely integrate, and cost too much. You're paying for software you barely use.
AI exists but you don't know where to start
AI exists but you don't know where to start
Everyone's using AI. Vendors promise miracles. You need someone to show you what actually saves money.
The real challenge? You can't afford to hire full-time operations and technology leadership at €200K+, but you can't afford to keep limping along on your current foundation either. You need to upgrade now, or struggle for the next decade.

We start with operations, not technology: Can't build on broken processes. We map, document, and clean up first.
We own problems through implementation: Consultants advise and leave. We design requirements, select vendors, oversee implementation, and stay until it works.
We work through multiple modules over time: Not a one-time project. 12+ months through 2-3 active modules at a time, adapting as needs emerge.
We skip hype and focus on ROI: No transformation theater. Just real ROI and measurable wins in 90 days.

Everything you need to know before our first conversation.
How is this different from hiring consultants?
Consultants deliver reports and leave. We audit, implement, oversee, and stay until problems are actually solved. When your CRM implementation hits issues, it's our problem to fix—not yours to manage alone.

We already have an IT manager. Why do we need you?
Your IT manager keeps systems running day-to-day. We handle operations mapping, vendor negotiations, AI implementation, and technology modernization. We work with your IT manager, enhancing their capabilities rather than replacing them.

What if we're not ready for AI and all this digital transformation?
You're more ready than you think. We start with operations cleanup and process documentation—not AI. AI comes later, only where there's clear ROI. Most companies need their foundation fixed before adding new technology anyway.

How do you understand our specific industry?
We've worked across manufacturing, logistics, retail, and services. While every business is unique, operational inefficiencies follow similar patterns: manual work, disconnected systems, undocumented processes. We learn your specifics quickly because we focus on operations fundamentals.

Can we really cancel anytime after the initial period?
Yes, cancel with 30 days notice. Most companies don't because we're actively saving them money and fixing operational headaches. But if we're not delivering value, you shouldn't be locked in.

What if our employees resist change?
We don't force change on people. We start by documenting what your team already does (validating their knowledge), then show how improvements make their work easier. Most resistance comes from not understanding daily reality—we learn your workflows first.

How much of your time do we actually get?
