Barriers on the way to smart technology in SMEs | Prozesskraft

: What slows down companies with 50 to 1,000 employees from using modern automation? We name the five most common stumbling blocks -- and show a flexible roadmap that creates security step by step.

The five biggest stumbling blocks -- and how to overcome them

The benefit is not tangible

Many projects fail because no one can clearly quantify what advantage they bring. In a compact orientation workshop, we examine together where the biggest leverage is found and which metric you improve.

IT is overwhelmed

Your specialists keep operations running; time for additional experiments is lacking. Our development team creates the first prototype, tests it thoroughly, and hands over a solution that your IT only needs to activate.

 

Data is scattered across many systems

Invoices in ERP, customer notes in Excel, ideas on paper. We deliberately start small, because most use cases require only a few reliable datasets. If necessary, we connect the systems via lean interfaces.

Employees have reservations

Uncertainty easily leads to blockages. That’s why we involve your colleagues from the beginning, explain each step understandably, and show how monotonous activities disappear. This way, the team becomes part of the progress.

Budget, risk & the concern about commitment

Unclear costs are off-putting, as is the thought of immediately starting a major project. Our solution is modular: After each stage, you decide anew whether and how it continues; there is neither long-term commitment nor hidden costs. Only when you see measurable benefits does the process move to the next phase.

  • Orientation workshop -- recognize opportunities and risks.
  • Roadmap -- develop a reliable plan with stages and budgets.
  • Implementation -- realize the prioritized steps together. After each stage, you decide anew whether and how it continues; there is neither long-term commitment nor hidden costs. Only when you see measurable benefits does the process move to the next phase.
