Consulting on software and AI

The consulting answers one question: which workflows in your company are worth handling with software or AI, and which are not? Scope and format depend on your company, from a conversation to a visit on site.

What problem does the consulting solve?

Managing directors receive offers for software, apps and AI tools, often several a week. Each one promises to save time. What is missing is the basis for the decision: which workflows actually cost time in your own company, and what would a change achieve? Without it, it is easy to buy what sounds good instead of what helps day to day.

The consulting provides this basis. It also clarifies whether anything should be built at all.

How does the consulting work?

It starts with the free intro call. In it, we clarify what it is about and which format fits: a more in-depth conversation, a look at individual workflows or a visit to your company. Scope, timing and price are fixed before booking.

What you have afterward

An assessment of which workflows are suited to software or AI, which are not and where it makes sense to start. It is written so that you can use it even without us.

How we do it at B&S

At B&S Ventures from Hannover, every collaboration starts with a free intro call. During the call or shortly afterward, you get an initial direction on what can help, also free of charge. A proposal for the first stage can follow directly. More in-depth consulting is for companies that want to take a closer look first. You book it on request, it is not a mandatory step.

What sharpens our view of other companies' workflows is that we build systems ourselves in our portfolio companies and use them day to day. We therefore know what a new system costs in daily operations and what it gives back.

What does the consulting cost?

The intro call is free. For more in-depth consulting, we state the price before booking. There is no obligation to commission anything afterward. If a project follows, it runs through the usual process with a proposal for the first stage.

Frequently asked questions about consulting

Do I have to commission anything after the consulting?

No. The assessment belongs to you and is written so that you can also implement it with another provider or with off-the-shelf software. Whether anything is built afterward is your decision.

Do you also come to the company?

On request and when booked. Much can also be clarified in a conversation or online. We discuss which format fits in the intro call.

How is confidential information handled?

On request, we sign a nondisclosure agreement before the first meeting. We do not write down access credentials, and only you receive the assessment.

What can follow: management systems, AI assistants or a website. To prepare the decision: Custom management system or off-the-shelf software? and What does custom software cost an SMB?
