consulting automation time savings

    Automate repetitive tasks and reclaim up to 70% of operational time

    Approvals, reminders, reports, reconciliations, follow-ups: anything humans do today, AI can do in seconds. Your consultants get back to consulting, not paperwork.

    The hidden cost of manual work

    A consultant's fully loaded cost is typically €60-90/hour. How many of those euros are spent on tasks that could be automated?

    • 30-40% of project manager time goes to manual coordination
    • Each manager loses 6-8 hours/week on status meetings that could be reports
    • Month-end reconciliations require 2-3 full days
    • Client follow-ups get forgotten and opportunities are lost
    • Executive reports require days of manual preparation
    • Cascading approvals get stuck and create bottlenecks

    The AI that does the boring work for you

    Define the rules once. AI executes them 24/7 without forgetting anything.

    • How much time did automation save us this month?
