For owner-managed SMEs with 5 to 50 employees

Your business only runs when you are in it.

Quotes are put together by hand. Data travels by email between the ERP and a spreadsheet. One person knows the process and everyone else waits for them. That costs you hours every week, and nobody has ever added them up.

A 15-minute video call, no sales pitch. GDPR compliant, European hosting on request.

The problem

How you notice it every week

Everything runs through one person

If they are off, the process stops. The knowledge sits in their head and nowhere else, and every handover starts from scratch.

The same data, typed three times

ERP, spreadsheet, email. By the third time a number no longer matches, and you only find out on the invoice.

No overview, only asking around

Status lives in inboxes and lists. Anyone who wants to know where a job stands has to ask someone.

The calculator

What you are leaving on the table every week

Three sliders, your own numbers. You see straight away what the manual work costs you a year.

If the number surprises you: in the free process check we spend 15 minutes working out which of your workflows causes it.
