Automation that removes the repetitive
I build custom automations shaped around your everyday work — rule-based where it's enough, with AI where it opens new doors.
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.
Tell me what takes time in your day. I listen and identify which tasks can be automated.
> you: "we spend hours on emails and quotes" > me: analyzing your processes > status: MAPPED
I propose a solution that fits your workflows and tools. Everything is tailored to your specific business.
> solution: tailored to you > tools: your existing systems > status: DELIVERED
The automation handles the repetitive work. You get time back every day to spend on customers, deals, and growth.
> administration: reduced > manual tasks: automated > status: ONGOING
AI where it opens new doors — rule-based where that's enough.
AI makes automations possible that used to need a human at the keyboard. I happily build with AI where it makes a real difference, and use rule-based logic where it goes the distance. Both have a place in the same flow.
Deterministic pipeline
THE BACKBONEWhere a rule suffices, a rule suffices. Same input, same output — logged, auditable and with no AI cost per run.
- Predictable output, every time
- Logged and traceable end to end
- Low running cost — no AI calls per run
- Runs within the EU — client data stays in the EU
AI-driven
THE UNLOCKAI handles the steps that used to need a human. The rest of the flow stays deterministic and auditable — you get the capability without losing control.
- Opens doors rules can't reach
- Where judgment is needed, not just logic
- Validated against your rules — nothing saved blindly
AI pulls amounts and line items from a call transcript — the rest of the invoice flow is rule-based and auditable. You get both the flexibility of AI and the predictability of a pipeline.

FOUNDER · IVAR AUTOMATIONI run IVAR Automation solo — every project is built and delivered by me personally. No project manager, no tickets bouncing between people.
With a background in computer science and interaction design from Chalmers, and a decade of software development in the automotive industry, I combine deep systems understanding with direct customer contact.
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. You own all customer-specific configuration, business logic, integrations, and data — the underlying platform technology is my IP.
- Fixed price — no ticking clock
- Delivered in stages you see and approve
- Your configuration, data, and runbooks — free export in machine-readable format
- Connected to your existing systems (CRM, ERP, email, databases etc.)
Maintenance — choose the retainer that fits
After delivery, you choose how involved you want me to be. Move up or down at any time — no long lock-ins.
