AI for small businesses: from the first step to a finished integration

For companies in and around Falköping and across Skaraborg, and remotely across Sweden. We start where you are: with a review and a fixed-price first step, or with a scoped prototype of what you want to build in your systems.

Two ways to start

Start on the track that fits right now. You can continue on the other once the first step is done.

01

Get started

For companies that want to know where AI is useful and prefer to start small, without changing systems.

What is included

  • An intro call with no commitment
  • A review where the work is done, or by video for companies further away
  • A prioritised plan with what each action requires
  • A first, well-defined step delivered together with you

Typical length

The review takes a morning, at your premises or by video. How long the first step takes is set by the plan, and you know it before you decide.

You get

  • A written plan that is yours to use, even if you do not continue with us
  • A first step in use
  • Guidelines for how AI may be used

How pricing works

The first step has a fixed price. You know exactly what it costs before you decide.

02

Build and integrate

For companies with systems, data and processes that AI needs to connect to, or an idea that needs architecture and operations.

What is included

  • Requirements analysis and a pre-study
  • A scoped prototype that shows the value
  • A solution built for production, with monitoring
  • Hand-over with documentation

Typical length

It depends on the solution. The pre-study and the prototype give a time estimate before anything is built in full.

You get

  • A recommendation you can decide on
  • A working solution you can maintain
  • Clear ownership and documented data handling
  • You own what we build: code, documentation and data.

How pricing works

Scope and price are assessed after the pre-study and set out before the build starts. You decide on each step.

What we build

Each area starts from a benefit you can notice in daily work. Here is what building it looks like and what is included.

01,Agents

AI agents

An AI agent gets a defined job, for example reading incoming requests and preparing replies. It works within rules you set, and a member of staff approves what is sensitive.

What is included

  • A written job description and rules
  • Human approval where it is needed
  • Logging of what the agent has done

02,Integration

Integrations with business systems

AI becomes useful when it reaches the data where it lives. We connect the solution to your finance, business and customer systems through their interfaces, so nobody has to move information by hand.

What is included

  • A review of which systems and interfaces exist
  • Integration built against each system's own APIs
  • Error handling and monitoring of the connection

03,Automation

Workflow automation

We map the flow from request to finished report and automate the steps that are stable. What needs judgement stays with a person.

What is included

  • Mapping of the workflow as it runs today
  • Automation of the stable steps
  • Clear points where a member of staff reviews

04,Search

Search across your own documents

Procedures, contracts and manuals become searchable, and answers show which document they rely on, so the answer can be checked. Documents are processed where you decide they may be processed.

What is included

  • A review of which documents may be used
  • Search that answers with source references
  • A statement of where documents are processed

05,Operations

Cloud platform and operations

A solution is not finished when it first works. We build in your cloud environment or on your own infrastructure, with monitoring and automated releases, so it can be maintained and updated safely.

What is included

  • Environments set up in your cloud or on your own infrastructure
  • Monitoring and alerts
  • Automated releases

06,Pre-study

Requirements and pre-study

Before anything is built we prioritise the right problem. Requirements, data and risks are reviewed, and you get a recommendation to decide on, even when the answer is to wait or pick something simpler.

What is included

  • A review of requirements, data and risks
  • A comparison of alternatives
  • A written recommendation

Three layers, in the right order

Durable AI solutions are built in a set order: first an understanding of the business, then the applications, with governance throughout.

Foundation

We map workflows, systems, data and where time goes today.

Application

We introduce what adds the most value first: automating recurring tasks, better decision support and faster responses.

Governance

Guidelines, GDPR and clear ownership, so the business can rely on the tools it uses.

What you get

  • A prioritised list of where AI can add value in your business, based on your own tasks and systems.
  • An assessment of the effort each measure requires.
  • A recommendation on which first project to start with, and why.
  • A written plan that is yours to use, whether or not you continue working with us.

How an engagement runs

  1. Intro call

    You describe your business and goals. We assess whether we can help. No preparation is needed and there is no commitment.

  2. Review of your operations

    A morning at your premises: the office, the production floor or the farm. We go through workflows, systems and recurring tasks. For companies further away, the review is done by video.

  3. Written plan

    You receive a plan with prioritised measures, what they require and what they cost.

  4. You decide

    If you want to proceed, we deliver the first step together. If not, the engagement ends there and the plan is yours.

Fixed price. You know exactly what it costs before you decide.

Agriculture, transport, manufacturing and family businesses

Almost every company in Falköping has fewer than 50 employees, and many work in agriculture and green industries, transport, manufacturing or long-established family ownership. Below are four illustrations of what a first step can look like. They do not describe real clients.

Agriculture and green industries

  • Records spread across several systems and individual people
  • Documentation and reporting on top of day-to-day operations

Example, not a client story

Dairy farm with a few employees

Records on livestock, feed and deliveries sit in several places and are rarely used to support decisions.

We review the records that already exist and choose one application where AI makes them useful, such as a recurring summary.

A concrete plan for how existing records can support daily operations.

Transport and haulage

  • Invoicing data, quotes and driver logs
  • Planning done by hand

Example, not a client story

Haulage firm with a small fleet

Quotes and invoices are compiled by hand after the working day, and driver logs are kept on paper.

We map the document flow and test how draft quotes and summaries can be produced from data that is already recorded.

A clear view of what can be streamlined and what is best left as it is.

Manufacturing and engineering

  • Requests for quotes arriving during production hours
  • Documentation that is required but rarely kept up to date

Example, not a client story

Small engineering workshop or joinery

Enquiries and drawings have to be read and answered while production is running.

We analyse what the enquiries look like and how they are answered, and test a way of working where AI produces a first draft for you to review.

A basis for deciding what is worth automating and what needs professional expertise.

Family-owned businesses

  • Key knowledge held by a few people
  • Recruitment is hard, so administration falls on management

Example, not a client story

Third-generation family business

Knowledge sits with individual staff, and administration takes time away from customers.

We go through recurring tasks and choose one that AI can take on, with you making the decisions throughout.

More time for customers and a plan that reflects how the company is organised.

You stay in control

People make the decisions. We explain what is being done and why, set out where your data is processed before any tool is used, and follow GDPR and the EU AI Act. You own what we build: code, documentation and data.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

The first step has a fixed price, and you know exactly what it costs before you decide. You commit to nothing beyond that first step.

We have no IT department. Does that matter?

No. Most companies your size have none, and the approach is designed with that in mind. We start from the systems and tools you already use and explain things without jargon.

What happens to our data?

Before each step we set out which data is used, which tool processes it and where it is stored. You decide what may be used, and we follow GDPR.

Does AI replace staff?

No. The aim is for AI to take on recurring administration so that you and your team can focus on core work. People make the decisions.

Is there any support or funding we can apply for?

There may be. We help you see whether you can apply for support for the measures we identify, but we promise no amounts and cannot guarantee any funding.

Will you come to us?

Yes. Around Falköping and across Skaraborg the review takes place at your premises, where the work happens. With companies elsewhere in Sweden we work remotely.

Want to know what AI could do for your business?

It starts with an intro call. Then a review of your operations, a written plan and a fixed price for the first step.
