Get back the hours lost to the repetitive
I build automations shaped around your everyday work — so the admin handles itself. You get time back for customers and business.
Four time-drains that can be built away.
Regardless of industry, it's often the same moments that eat up the day. Those are the ones I build automation around first.
Too much administration
Hours every day disappear copying information, answering routine emails, and entering data into different systems — time that doesn't generate revenue.
Manual mistakes cost money
When everything is done by hand, mistakes happen. Customers get wrong info, invoices go out late, follow-ups are forgotten. The cost adds up quietly.
Hard to scale without hiring
Work grows faster than the team. Administration eats up the margins, and you can't take on more customers without more hands.
Time lost in follow-ups
Unanswered emails, missing docs, reminders. Someone writes the same email over and over — instead of focusing on what actually creates value.
Three concrete examples — how I work in practice.
Every solution is unique, but the flows below keep coming up. The details are tailored to your systems and your daily work.
Email & customer communication
Every morning starts with sorting emails, answering routine questions, and forwarding to the right person. It takes time you don't have.
Emails are sorted automatically, routine questions are answered in your own voice, and only what needs you lands in the inbox.
Quotes & documents
Talk to customer, take notes, open Excel, calculate, copy to document, send email. Every time — and it always takes longer than you'd like.
Documents are created automatically from your systems based on the customer's parameters. You review, sign, send — the rest is handled for you.
Information flows between systems
The same customer info is entered into CRM, accounting, and project tools. Systems live their own lives and someone has to keep track of what's true.
Information flows automatically between systems. Enter it once — the rest syncs. One change in one place updates everywhere.
How it works
Three steps from problem to solution. Simple, safe, and tailored to you.
"We spend hours every week on email and quotes." You tell me what eats up time. I listen and spot where it can be cut.
A solution built around your systems and ways of working. Nothing to relearn — it fits the everyday you already have.
The repetitive runs itself. You get hours back every week to spend on customers, deals, and growth.
AI makes it possible — you stay in control.
AI makes it possible to automate work that used to need a human at the keyboard — like reading an email and understanding what it's about, or pulling the right amounts and line items from a customer call.
You stay in control all the way
- You see and approve everything before anything is sent
- Nothing runs as a black box — you can always follow what happened and why
AI pulls amounts and line items from a customer call — you review and send. The rest is handled for you.
Where a simple rule is enough, I use a rule. AI is used where it makes a real difference.
The same thing every time — it doesn't guess.
You get the capability without losing your grip.

Transparent pricing — no hidden costs.
You should know what it costs before we start. The audit is a fixed fee, automations are priced per project after the audit, and maintenance is your choice based on size and needs.
Audit — two-day review
I dig into your processes and systems. You get a prioritized list of 3–5 automatable flows, time savings per flow, and a concrete proposal with price per automation. Fixed price, regardless of company size or industry.
- 2 days of deep-diving into your flows
- Written report with ROI per proposal
- Concrete price list for every potential automation
- No obligation to proceed
Automation — fixed price per project
After the audit you choose which automation gets built first. Each automation has a fixed price based on the audit's proposal. Typical delivery time: 4–8 weeks. The platform behind it is mine — but everything that's yours stays yours.
