“We commissioned several automations. Scoping, communication, delivery and handover — A-grade across the board. The first automation alone already saves us about 15 hours of manual work per month.” “We commissioned several automations. Scoping, communication, delivery and handover — A-grade across the board.

Specialised in
Three industries. One promise.
We know your industry — because we spent years working in it ourselves.
Mechanical Engineering
Complex processes, tight labour markets, and know-how that lives in individual heads rather than in your systems.
- Offset the skilled-labour shortage
- Capture expert knowledge in your systems
- Finally put your existing data to work
Construction
Documentation, coordination and compliance paperwork eat up time — while the real work is on the job site.
- Cut administrative overhead
- Free up skilled staff for skilled work
- Digitise coordination across sites
Manufacturing
Manual back-office routines throttle growth — even though the data for automation is already there.
- Eliminate repetitive tasks
- Scale without new hires
- Gain transparency over business numbers
Does any of this sound familiar?
If even one of these sounds familiar — you’re where most of our clients were before they talked to us.
Retirement wave and loss of know-how
Your most experienced people will retire within the next few years — and they will take decades of process knowledge with them that is documented nowhere.
Talent shortage is holding you back
You have the orders — you just don’t have the people. The job market has no one to offer, and every bit of growth means chasing talent that isn’t there.
Manual processes are eating your margin
Excel files, duplicate data entry, endless email back-and-forth — your back office is burning hours every week that nobody is paying for.
You tried AI — nothing stuck
ChatGPT, Make, n8n, a bit of "vibe coding" — you or your team experimented. But the experiments never turned into finished solutions that hold up in daily operations.
Consultants came and went — with nothing to show
You hired a consultant once. They delivered slides, sprinkled AI buzzwords, and disappeared. Nothing got implemented.
From analysis to finished solution —
all from a single partner
Not a consultant who disappears after the slide deck. A partner who analyses, implements, and delivers measurable results — always with the best solution for you.
Free discovery call
30 minutes
We get to know your business and figure out together whether — and where — AI and automation will have the biggest impact. Honest, even if the answer turns out to be: this isn’t the right moment for you.
AI Compass
Grant-eligible2–3 weeks
A half-day workshop to map out your processes, followed by an in-depth analysis. You walk away with a concrete roadmap and ROI figures for every identified use case.
Implementation
1–2 weeks up to 3 months
We build the use cases we identified — AI-powered automations, custom software, off-the-shelf where that fits best. Developed iteratively, tested, and ready for daily use.
Measuring impact
After every implementation we measure the result together. You see in black and white how much time and money you save — not as a promise, but as an outcome.
Long-term partnership
No lock-in contracts, no fixed terms. Our clients stay because the results speak for themselves. We proactively surface new opportunities in your business — and you decide when it’s time for the next step.
“I’ll take the time personally.”

How much could automation save in your business?
Move the sliders and see in real time what potential is hiding in your processes.
Potential savings per year
€187,200
assuming a conservative 50% automation of manual tasks
That’s the equivalent of 2.3 full-time employees freed up for higher-value work.
This number is an estimate. In the AI Compass we calculate the ROI for your specific processes — data-based and verifiable.
“I’ll take the time personally.”
Oliver Bührer
Managing Director
Why work with SimplifieD Solutions?
Because we don’t just advise — we build. Vendor-independent, data-driven, with a clear cost cap.
Vendor-independent — always the best solution for you
We don’t resell anyone’s platform. We recommend what actually works best in your context.
Advisory AND implementation
Others advise. We build. From workshop to development to team training — all from one partner.
Data-driven — every euro accounted for
No use case without an ROI calculation. We only implement what demonstrably pays back within twelve months.
Enterprise know-how, mid-market mindset
We learned how to build complex systems at ZF Friedrichshafen AG and Carl Zeiss. We translate that into solutions that fit a mid-sized business.
Real engineers, not just advisors
Three founders with degrees in computer science and business, nearly 20 combined years in software development, cloud architecture, IoT and AI.
Grant-eligible
The AI Compass is eligible for German public funding. A portion of your investment can be reclaimed.

Selected results
Some of our clients prefer discretion — because their solution is a genuine competitive advantage. With their consent we share the case anonymously.
Leading thermoforming manufacturer
Challenge
Quoting took 2–4 hours, depended on one or two specialists, and was still often inaccurate. Orders were lost before the quote went out.
Result
Quoting time down from hours to under 30 minutes — with higher calculation accuracy. Every sales rep can now price a quote.
“The pricing know-how now sits inside the system — and everyone in sales can work with it.”
Challenge
13 warehouses across 7 countries and languages — stock queries only by phone and email. No overview, slow response times.
Result
A virtual AI warehouse: all stock levels queryable in seconds via chat — across languages, in real time.
“Our partners can now see in seconds what’s available across the network — in their own language.”
Mid-sized construction company
Challenge
Over 100 mandatory reports per year, all written by hand. One site manager spent almost the entire year on documentation.
Result
Fully automated report generation at the push of a button. Site manager freed up entirely for skilled work.
“Our site manager is finally doing the job we hired him for.”
Established construction company
Challenge
Fleet data sat unused in the system for years. No analysis, no business insight — decisions made on gut feel.
Result
A bespoke data analysis made hidden patterns visible. Fleet utilisation and internal processes fundamentally improved.
“Things came up we would never have seen — and they directly changed how we make decisions.”
