System Audit with workshop for mid-sized companies

Roadmap first.
Then invest.

ERP, shop, DATEV: your team copies data by hand. In a workshop with management, IT and the business team we work out which three bottlenecks pay off first. You leave with a roadmap, a budget and what it saves you.

Starting point

You have to decide.
But the full picture is missing?

The System Audit settles this before you invest. Not afterwards.

  • An ERP switch is on the table.

    Nobody in the company can say for sure whether a new system solves the problem or just moves it.

  • Three quotes, three opinions.

    Every vendor recommends what they sell. You end up comparing prices, not solutions.

  • Everyone is talking about AI.

    Where it saves you time, and where your data first has to flow cleanly, is still open.

A good fit if

  • you work with several systems that barely talk to each other
  • your team retypes, reconciles or passes on data in Excel
  • an IT decision is due and you want to make it based on figures

Not a fit if

  • the decision has already been made and you are only looking for confirmation
  • management cannot take part in the workshop

Why a workshop

A pit stop
takes less than
two seconds.

Not because the mechanics turn wrenches faster, but because everyone knows exactly what to do and when. That is what the workshop settles – for your data flows.

  • Everyone knows their role.

    In the workshop: management, IT and the business team at one table.

  • The order is set.

    In the workshop: the three biggest bottlenecks, prioritized together.

  • One signal, then go.

    In the workshop: the insight comes from you. We support you & speed things up.

Your result

The workshop turns
into a roadmap.

Your decision becomes a results document with a management summary. No slide deck. Every figure has a source: your input, a measurement or a stated assumption.

  • The three most expensive bottlenecksBy effort, frequency, risk

What manual work costs per year.

A sample client in mechanical engineering: the three biggest bottlenecks eat up 1,360 hours a year. We put your figures on the table in the workshop. You can get a rough estimate beforehand for free with the system map.

Questions

Questions you will want answered first.

Book an intro call

No. We spend 30 minutes going through your system map and show you where your company loses time. If it fits, we offer you the System Audit. Whether you book it is up to you.

Half a day with management, IT and one or two people from the business team. We facilitate. You check your figures, agree on the three biggest bottlenecks and compare the options. You make the decision, we record it. You do not need to prepare anything.

You do not get slides but a three-stage roadmap with budget ranges and a business case, decided in the workshop with your team. The price is fixed. If you implement with us, we credit it in full.

About 45 minutes for the questionnaire, a 60-minute interview with your IT, a half-day workshop and a 90-minute results meeting, plus a 15-minute kick-off call. In between, at most you answer follow-up questions.

Your provider is invited to the interview and is welcome at the workshop. The System Audit looks at all systems together, not just one. You can also implement the roadmap with your provider.

You still have everything: roadmap, budget ranges, architecture decision, quick wins. It is yours. Only the credit no longer applies.

We sign a non-disclosure agreement before the start. If sample data is shared, we also conclude a data processing agreement.

Yes. As an add-on to the System Audit we automate one of your bottlenecks with your real data in a test environment, as a mini prototype. Not included in the fixed price; separate quote.

Next step

30 minutes that show you whether the System Audit pays off.

  1. Choose a slot.

    30 minutes by video, free and without obligation. You talk directly to Moritz.

  2. Go through the system map.

    If you filled it in beforehand, we go through it together. Otherwise we fill it in during the call.

  3. Then decide.

    You see where time is lost to manual work, and whether a workshop with your team will bring the decision. Then you decide.
