Everyone has their own list, nobody has the overview. On Friday evening someone retypes what somebody else already typed on Monday. That is not an IT problem. It is a process that was never built.
Agentic engineering – AI agents take over the tedious workflows: quotes, receipts, stock. Set up and owned by an industrial engineer who rebuilt his own business with them.
A tool that takes over exactly the one process that costs the most – not the whole company at once. With a clear handover to your team or to developers, so you do not depend on me. The first tool is usually in use within a few weeks, and the benefit is stated in euros in the estimate beforehand.
Not the company, the process. On the Test Bench day I walk through it with the people who do it every day – from the first email to the last filing.
Hours per week, cost of errors, waiting times. That becomes a number per year. If it is too small, I say so and we leave it.
A building block that takes over the process. Fixed price. Documented, so your team or a developer can carry it on. A small maintenance contract if you want one.
Orders, stock, invoices, suppliers for two product companies. No off-the-shelf system fitted, so I built it myself. Runs daily.
Reads inboxes, recognises receipts, matches them, hands them to the accountants. Developed with Michi Gasteiger – now in production in two companies.
No off-the-shelf system fitted my business, so I built it myself. These are the five areas we work with every day at Apres Allstars.
Every order is a card and moves from draft through ready and in progress to completed. At the very top is what needs doing first today.
All articles and raw parts with quantity per storage location, total stock and stock value. Bookings are made directly in the row.
Every stock change is recorded with time, quantity, comment and person. Sales from the Shopify shop are booked out by the system itself.
Every set has a build plan: step by step, with exactly the parts needed in that step.
Everything on its way from a supplier or between two warehouses: quantity, from where, to where, expected date and days remaining.
Real screenshots from the running system (user interface in German). Customer and supplier names have been made unrecognisable.
It needs the one building block from it that eats the most time in your company. Which one that is, and what it is worth in euros, is what we find out on the Test Bench.
Invoices arrive by email, sit in customer portals or lie on a desk. Someone used to gather them by hand. Today the receipt bot fetches them, matches them against the account transactions and sends them in one batch to DATEV, the accounting platform our tax advisers use. Developed together with Michi Gasteiger.
Invoices from inboxes, customer portals and the folder for manual receipts.
Amount, date and invoice number come from the PDF. Duplicates are dropped.
Every receipt is filed by year, month and source.
Every receipt looks for its transaction at the bank or PayPal. The amount has to match exactly.
Only matched receipts go to DATEV in one batch. The rest stays visible.
Whatever is missing shows up in red in the overview. Whoever has the invoice forwards it to a collection address, and the next run matches it.
At the top are the transactions without a receipt, below that the status at DATEV and the latest runs of all sources.
The list shows all transactions of the month. Green means receipt present, red means receipt missing.
All receipts are filed by year, month and source in the company’s cloud storage.
The images show the real user interface (in German), filled with an invented sample company. The filing view is a schematic.
How many hours a month that costs, and whether a receipt bot pays off for you, is what we find out on the Test Bench.
I don’t talk about process optimisation. I rebuilt my own manufacturing business with it – and I’ll show you.
My principle: AI does the groundwork. A person checks and decides.
Orders, stock, invoices, suppliers – in one system that works exactly the way the business works. Built entirely by myself, because no off-the-shelf system fitted.

“Our product development challenges were understood immediately and implemented professionally. We were particularly impressed by the fast CAD design, which matched our ideas exactly after just a few prototype generations.”
“I value Tobi Deckert’s ability to get things done. The exchange and the mutual introductions to our network partners have greatly accelerated the progress of our projects.”
Two days of work, zero risk: you only pay once you know the number – and only if it adds up for you.
First, a 20-minute call: Do you make or sell products? How many people? Which process hurts the most?
Analysis on site
I come to your business and walk through the one process with the people who do it every day. Numbers, routes, exceptions – everything that isn’t in a spreadsheet.
Solution and estimate
I build the solution and do the maths. By the evening you have two pages: what it saves or adds in revenue, in euros – and a clear no if it isn’t worth it.
Installation and handover
The solution goes into your business: integration, data, training your people, documentation. At the fixed price agreed on day 2.
You pay at most one third of what the solution saves or earns you. If that doesn’t add up, you get no offer – just an honest no. The fixed price is set at the end of day 2, before you buy anything.
On day 1 you see my own ERP, my bookkeeping and my shop live – that’s how my business has been running for years.
