Sound familiar?
These challenges are common across mid-sized companies exploring AI.
Manual processes waste time
Your employees spend hours on routine tasks — transferring data, sorting documents, creating reports. It's expensive and error-prone.
AI sounds great — but where to start?
ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude — the tools exist. But which ones fit your processes? And how do you integrate AI without disrupting daily operations?
Your IT team is at capacity
Your IT team keeps operations running. There's no bandwidth or specialist knowledge for AI projects — and external consultants often deliver PowerPoints, not solutions.
GDPR and data privacy
53% of companies cite legal uncertainty as their biggest barrier. You need a partner who implements AI in compliance with GDPR — with data processed in Europe.
Our AI Consulting Services
Four building blocks that build on each other — or can be booked individually.
AI Readiness Assessment
We analyze your processes, data, and IT landscape. You learn exactly where AI delivers the biggest impact — and where it doesn't.
AI Strategy & Roadmap
No 100-page strategy paper. Instead, a concrete action plan: what gets implemented when, what it costs, and what it delivers.
AI Implementation & Integration
We don't build prototypes that gather dust. We deliver production-ready AI solutions integrated into your existing systems.
AI Training & Enablement
AI only works when your team embraces it. We train your employees hands-on — not in theory, but on your actual processes.
How AI Consulting Works
Four phases — from free consultation to scaled solution.
Analysis
Free initial consultation (30 min). We understand your processes, systems, and goals. You get an initial assessment of your AI potential.
Concept
Detailed analysis of your processes. Identification of top 3 AI use cases ranked by ROI. Concrete implementation plan with timeline and budget.
Pilot Project
Implementation of the highest-impact use case in 4–8 weeks. Integration into your existing IT landscape. Measurable proof of value.
Scale
Rollout to additional processes and departments. Training for your team. Long-term operations and continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about AI consulting for SMEs.
What does AI consulting for SMEs cost?
An initial consultation is free. AI readiness assessments start at EUR 3,000. Pilot projects typically range from EUR 10,000 to 30,000. What matters is ROI: our projects typically pay for themselves within 3–6 months.
How long until we see first results?
You'll see initial results after 4–8 weeks in the pilot project. Quick wins like prompt engineering workshops or tool introductions show impact within 1–2 weeks. A complete AI integration takes 3–6 months depending on scope.
Do we need technical expertise in-house?
No. We explain everything clearly and train your team hands-on. Our approach is specifically tailored to SMEs: no IT department with 50 developers needed. We deliver turnkey solutions.
Is AI actually useful for mid-sized companies?
Absolutely. SMEs have enormous untapped potential: according to Bitkom, only 36% of companies use AI — but those who do save an average of 5+ hours per week per employee. AI is no longer just for large corporations.
What about data privacy and GDPR?
Data privacy is our top priority. We implement GDPR-compliant solutions with data processing in European data centers. Every project undergoes a privacy pre-check. We can work with your data protection officer if needed.
What sets you apart from large consulting firms?
We deliver working software, not PowerPoints. Instead of months-long analysis phases, we start with a concrete pilot project. Our solutions are tailored to SMEs — pragmatic, affordable, and measurable.
Can you integrate with existing systems like ERP and CRM?
Yes, system integration is one of our core competencies. We seamlessly connect AI solutions with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, and many other systems — including legacy software without modern APIs.
How do I measure the success of an AI project?
Before every project, we define measurable KPIs together: time savings in hours, error rate in percent, cost reduction in euros. After the pilot, we show you the concrete ROI — with your real numbers.
What happens after the project?
We offer managed services for ongoing operations: monitoring, maintenance, support, and continuous improvement. Alternatively, we train your team to operate the solution independently. You decide.
Which industries benefit most from AI consulting?
AI is applicable across industries. We see the biggest impact in manufacturing, logistics, retail, financial services, and professional services. What matters isn't the industry but the processes — wherever repetitive data-driven tasks exist, AI can help.
