AI consultancy

bettersorted’s AI consultancy uses a structured process to identify which processes within your business are suitable for automation, and concludes with a concrete implementation plan rather than a mere list of ideas. The consultancy is BAFA-approved and is eligible for up to 80 per cent funding via INQA Coaching.

AI consultancy is a form of management consultancy that focuses on identifying which digital tools — in particular artificial intelligence and automation — can be used to reduce repetitive work within a business. Unlike general management consultancy, the focus here is not on strategy or financing, but on specific processes: Which tasks are time-consuming today, which tools will take them over tomorrow, and what will the implementation cost? At bettersorted, AI Consulting involves a structured, three-stage process: an initial consultation, an analysis of current processes, and a written implementation plan setting out specific tools, costs and funding opportunities. The consultancy itself is vendor-neutral — we recommend what suits the business, not what bettersorted sells. It is carried out by a BAFA-listed consultant based in Schwerin, who also acts as an authorised INQA coach.

The problem

Do you know that automation could save you time — but aren’t sure where to start? You’re not alone: the most common reason why SMEs stick with isolated, stand-alone solutions or avoid change altogether is a failure to prioritise. Which process should be tackled first, with which tool, and at what cost? Without an answer, employees will simply continue to spend their time on the same repetitive tasks.

The solution

The AI consultancy provides this answer. Following a free 30-minute initial consultation and a targeted analysis of your current processes, you will receive an implementation plan setting out specific tools, costs and funding options. You then decide whether to proceed and with whom — there is no obligation.

Technology & GDPR
