Sales correspondence and offers
AI drafts offers and sales letters from CRM data. Sales rep reviews and releases.
Effekt: Faster offer turnaround, more touches per week.
AI for the Mittelstand
AI for the German Mittelstand — productive in 90 days.
GDPR-compliant Azure OpenAI architecture, works-council-ready rollout, measurable KPIs. We consult and build — no PowerPoint theater.
Where the shoe pinches
Shadow IT — staff use ChatGPT anyway
GDPR / data leaksWithout an official option, staff use private ChatGPT accounts. Customer data, internal info, sometimes financials end up in US training pipelines.
Works council demands transparency
BetrVGAI rollouts touch employee data, performance and workflows. Works councils want a clear architecture, no monitoring, opt-in for affected staff.
ROI uncertainty
OperationsWithout measurable KPIs, AI rollouts get cancelled at the next budget round. We define 2–3 numbers up front and report monthly.
What we build for Mittelstand companies
Procurement and supplier comms
AI structures supplier emails, drafts replies, flags exceptions. Audit log per send.
Effekt: 2–4 hours per buyer per week saved.
Internal knowledge base
Searchable AI assistant on internal wiki, SOPs, training material. No external data exposure.
Effekt: New staff productive in days, not weeks.
HR application screening
AI structures incoming applications, extracts skills, flags must-have/nice-to-have matches. Final decision stays with humans.
Effekt: First-pass screening time cut by 60%.

Frequently asked from Mittelstand companies
We're 50 people — does AI rollout pay off at this size?
From around 20 people onward, almost always, because training, tool licenses and setup get spread across enough heads. Below 20 we often recommend starting with off-the-shelf GDPR-compliant tools (Microsoft 365 Copilot, self-managed Azure OpenAI) and skipping consulting.
Which workflows are particularly worth it?
In practice: sales correspondence and offers, purchasing and supplier comms, HR application screening, knowledge management (internal wiki search). Production and logistics rarely — those workflows are too specific and usually need custom software, not generative AI.
How do I convince the works council?
With clear purpose limitation (no AI-based employee monitoring), traceable architecture (what data goes where?), opt-in for affected employees, and a trial period with review. We provide ready-made works-agreement modules as a discussion basis.
What does a productive Mittelstand AI rollout cost in total?
Three line items: one-off consulting & architecture, ongoing licenses (Azure OpenAI, possibly tools — depending on usage per employee per month), and training per workshop day. We deliver a concrete projection for your case in the intro call.
How fast are first effects measurable?
Usually 6–12 weeks after consulting starts. We define 2–3 measurable KPIs with you up front (handling time, first-response time, employee adoption rate) and report monthly.
