INQA Coaching in Schwerin: funded AI implementation with an on-site coach

INQA-Coaching also supports in Schwerin 80% of the costs of a supported digitalization project – up to €11,520 for twelve coaching days, with an own contribution of €2,880. For companies in Schwerin, it also applies that the BAFA consulting subsidy applies here at the full rate of 80%, because Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is considered a structurally weak region.

An INQA coach based in Schwerin

bettersorted UG is authorized INQA coach and is based at Bergstraße 45 in 19055 Schwerin. In this program, that is more than just an address: INQA-Coaching depends on the coach being on site in the company multiple times and working with employees instead of writing a concept from a distance. Here, short distances mainly mean that appointments can be arranged flexibly — even at short notice, even outside day-to-day operations.

What companies in Schwerin typically bring to the table

Schwerin is the state capital with around 96,000 residents and is strongly shaped by administration, healthcare, social organizations and service providersshaped by this, along with a solid base of skilled trades and retail businesses. The issues with which companies start coaching are similar:

• Requests come in through too many channels – phone, email, form – and are recorded multiple times
• Knowledge depends on individual people and is missing as soon as they are on vacation
• Documentation takes more time than the actual service
• There is an idea of using AI, but no clear sense of where a sensible starting point is

Process of a coaching in Schwerin

• Initial consultation – free of charge, clarification of objectives and eligibility for funding
• Advisory office – review of eligibility for funding and issuance of the INQA coaching voucher
• Coaching days – up to twelve days in the company, spread over several months, supplemented by digital appointments
• Final meeting – securing results, the team continues working independently

Practical example: a craft business in Schwerin with 18 employees

A typical case: a craft business in Schwerin takes orders by phone, notes them on slips of paper, and enters them into the office in the evening. Customer follow-up questions end up with the owner, because only he knows the current status. In the coaching, the actual time required is first recorded, then a shared digital order overview is introduced that the fitters can also update on their phones. What matters here is not the software, but that the team carries the new routine itself – that is why it is tested in day-to-day operations and adjusted as needed.

Frequently asked questions about INQA coaching in Schwerin

What does the coaching in Schwerin cost me specifically?

For the maximum subsidized twelve coaching days, your own contribution is €2,880, and the subsidy covers €11,520. If fewer days are agreed, both amounts decrease accordingly – the subsidy rate of 80% remains the same.

Does the coach really come to the company?

Yes, that is a core part of the program. INQA-Coaching is designed to be participatory: the solutions are developed together with the employees in the company. In Schwerin, there is no significant travel effort, because our office is in the city.

Can I also use the BAFA consulting subsidy?

Yes, for a different, clearly defined consulting topic. In Schwerin, the BAFA subsidy rate is 80% on a calculation basis of €3,500, meaning up to €2,800 in funding. However, this program is limited until 31.12.2026.

My business has only eight employees – is it worth it?

Yes. There is no minimum size other than one full-time position subject to social insurance contributions. In small businesses in particular, hours saved per week have an immediate impact, because the same person is responsible for quotations, execution, and invoicing.
