Automation for Small Businesses
End the spreadsheet chaos and manual processes
Your team wastes hours on duplicate data entry, copy-paste between tools, and manual workflows? At the same time, no off-the-shelf software fits your specific processes. Krafteq develops affordable business software that automates exactly your workflows — thanks to AI-powered development, now economically viable for the first time for companies with 5 to 50 employees.
Cross-platform app delivered on time. Prototype and hosting delivered on schedule — running system in 6 weeks.
ChallengesThe automation gap hits small businesses the hardest
Large companies have their own IT departments and budgets for SAP, Salesforce, and the like. Small businesses, on the other hand, fall through the cracks. The software industry has overlooked them for years. The result: a growing backlog that costs money every day.
-
Spreadsheet chaos as the norm
Customer lists in Excel, quotes via email templates, timesheets on paper. Information is scattered across half a dozen tools — and 73 percent of small businesses still rely on exactly these manual processes that could have been automated long ago.
-
Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit
Generic SaaS tools cover 80 percent you don't need. The critical 20 percent that map your specific workflows are missing. So you build workarounds — and the system becomes more fragile instead of more stable.
-
Custom software was previously unaffordable
Traditional custom development costs 50,000 to 200,000 euros and takes 6 to 18 months. For a company with 15 employees, that's not an option. So manual processes persist — even though everyone knows it could be better.
-
ERP systems are too complex
Enterprise solutions come with hundreds of features you'll never use. Implementation takes months. Ongoing costs exceed the benefit. And in the end, your employees still work with Excel because the ERP is too complicated.
Our ApproachAffordable automation through AI-powered development
AI has changed the rules. AI-powered development has significantly reduced software creation costs in 2025–2026. Krafteq leverages this shift deliberately — while experienced senior engineers maintain quality control.
First prototype in 2 weeks: you see working software, not presentations. Production-ready in 4 to 8 weeks with two-week sprints and demos. Fixed price instead of open invoice — you know the costs upfront.
Your data stays in the EU: we rely on EU-based infrastructure like Hetzner or OVHcloud. GDPR by design. No US CLOUD Act. AI makes us faster — but craftsmanship quality remains human.
ProcessFrom initial consultation to productive software
The path from your manual processes to an automated solution follows a clear sequence. No jargon, no black box. You understand every step.
-
Understand what really matters (Day 1-5)
In a workshop, we analyze your business processes. Where do your employees lose time? Which tasks repeat daily? Where do errors arise from media breaks? Together, we identify the workflows with the greatest automation leverage.

Develop the prototype (Week 2-3)
Our team builds the first working prototype. You see real software — no slides and no mockups. Core processes like order entry, customer management, or reporting already work. Your feedback flows in directly.
Working prototype your team can test
-
Finalize MVP and integrate (Week 4-6)
We build the prototype into a production-ready version. Role-based permissions, data import from your existing Excel files, and connection to existing systems like accounting, CRM, or email. Training for your team. Deployment on EU infrastructure.
Production-ready system your team starts using immediately
-
Evolve and maintain (ongoing)
Software grows with your business. That's why we offer optional monthly maintenance: hosting, monitoring, support, and new features as needed. Not a second project — but continuous improvement.
A system that adapts to your growing requirements
