Your company runs because someone is copying data from one place to another. That is fixable.
We study how your company actually works, procedure by procedure, and build the software that does that work without anyone having to remember to do it.

- Accountant
Operational mess has a shape, and it is almost always the same one.
An accounting package that does not quite cover your case. An external accountant who sends files back. The bank on one side and the warehouse on the other. And in the middle, a spreadsheet one person maintains by hand that nobody else can read.
None of it is broken. It simply does not talk to itself, and the glue is people.
We do not replace what already works. We build the line the data travels on, so it is entered once and shows up wherever it is needed.

Put your own numbers in.
We are not going to tell you what you would save, because we do not know your company yet. Type your figures and see it.
1,320 hours a year
€29,040 a year
That is what it costs today to get the data in by hand. Not everything can be automated, but almost none of this has to stay human.
Based on 220 working days a year. The calculation happens in your browser: nothing you type here is sent or stored.
Six things we do.
None of them starts with technology. All of them start by watching how your people work.
- 01 Custom management platforms The system your company needs and cannot buy, because the way you work is your own.
- 02 Integrations and APIs Getting your systems to talk to each other, with nobody exporting a file in between.
- 03 Process and document automation The tasks that repeat every day, every week and every month-end, running on their own.
- 04 Electronic invoicing and compliance Invoices that are correct, numbered and ready for your accountant, with no separate portal.
- 05 AI agents and assistants Artificial intelligence put to work inside your operation, not inside a demo.
- 06 Infrastructure and operation Domains, email, servers, backups and deployment. What holds up everything above.
Four stations, in this order.
The most expensive mistake in a software project is starting to build before understanding what is done today. We spend the entire first stage looking.

KM 01
Process audit
One to three weeks
We sit down with the people who do the work, not with the org chart. We document it task by task: what comes in, who touches it, how many times the same thing gets typed, where it breaks, and what happens when the person who knows how to do it is away.
-
KM 02
Automation design
One to two weeks
We decide what disappears, what gets fully automated, what gets half automated, and what has to stay human because someone must answer for it. You see how the system will work before it is built.
-
KM 03
Build
In stages, delivering every two or three weeks
We build in useful pieces: the first thing we hand over is already in use in your company. No disappearing for six months and coming back with a whole system nobody has tried and that has to be redone.
-
KM 04
Operation and improvement
For as long as the system is alive
We maintain it, measure it and extend it. When the law changes, when the business changes, or when a new repetitive task appears, the system absorbs it instead of spawning another spreadsheet.
Timeframes are indicative: they depend on the size of your operation and on how many people we can sit down with. Yours is fixed in writing in the proposal.
Why Trelew.
In 1865 a group of Welsh settlers landed on an empty stretch of Patagonian coast. The valley they found, the Chubut river valley, was fertile and completely cut off: whatever it produced reached nobody.
They built the canals that carried the river water to the land, and then the railway that carried what the land gave down to the sea. The station on that line was founded in 1886 and named Trelew: in Welsh, “tre” means town and “Lew” is Lewis, after Lewis Jones, the man who pushed that railway through.
The town of Lewis. They did not invent the valley and they did not invent the sea. They built what connected them.
Let us start by looking at how you work today.
The first conversation is about understanding your operation, not about selling you a project. If what you need is not worth automating, we will say so.
