How long does it take before we see results?

Most engagements run 4 to 8 weeks. You see a prioritized roadmap within the first weeks and a live MVP on a real use case by around week four, so value arrives early instead of after a long planning phase.

How is AI strategy different from just building a chatbot?

A chatbot is one possible outcome; strategy comes first. We figure out which problems are worth solving with AI at all — in logistics, claims, or support — and only then decide what to build, so you don't invest in tooling that doesn't move the numbers.

Do you need access to our internal systems and data?

For discovery we work from process interviews and sample data. Deeper access is only needed once we validate a specific use case, and it always runs through GDPR-compliant, access-controlled connections you approve.

Is the solution GDPR-compliant and can it stay in the EU?

Yes. We design data flows GDPR-first, support EU-based hosting, and offer on-premise deployment where required — important for Dortmund insurers and healthcare providers handling sensitive records.

Can you work with our Dortmund team remotely?

Yes. We collaborate remotely by default and come on-site in Dortmund and the Ruhr region for workshops, kickoffs, and rollout when it helps move faster.

What is AI Strategy?

AI strategy is the structured process of identifying where leading language models (LLMs) create measurable value in your business and turning that into a prioritized, costed roadmap. Instead of chasing hype, you get a ranked list of use cases, a clear build-or-buy decision, and a realistic path to a first working pilot. For companies in Dortmund and the Ruhr region, that means anchoring AI in concrete operations — logistics flows, claims handling, support desks — rather than abstract ambition.

Typical use cases in Dortmund: Logistics, Insurance, Technology & IT, Healthcare
Project duration: 4–8 weeks to go-live
Starting price: Fixed price after scoping.
Models: Leading language models, selected per task
Data protection: GDPR-compliant, EU hosting & on-premise available

From open questions to a fundable AI roadmap

A strategy you can act on — prioritized by impact, grounded in your real processes, and ready to build.

Use-case discovery

We map your workflows and surface the handful of tasks where AI cuts cost or turnaround the most — so you invest where the payback is clearest.

Impact & effort scoring

Every candidate use case gets ranked by business value and build effort, giving you a defensible order of execution instead of a wishlist.

Roadmap & sequencing

You receive a phased plan: what to pilot first, what follows, and how each step compounds into a wider rollout across teams.

Compliance built in

Data flows, hosting, and access are designed GDPR-first from day one, so your strategy survives legal and security review without rework.

Fast first pilot

We don't stop at slides — the strategy ends in a scoped, fixed-price MVP that proves value on real data within weeks.

Build-or-buy clarity

For each use case we recommend whether to build custom, integrate existing tooling, or wait — saving you from costly dead-end commitments.

AI Strategy for Dortmund’s key industries

Logistics

Dortmund is one of Europe's largest inland logistics hubs (Dortmunder Hafen, IKEA and Amazon distribution centers), where AI agents can coordinate shipment routing, warehouse slotting, and delivery scheduling across high daily parcel volumes. Example: An agent reconciles incoming delivery notes against orders, flags discrepancies, and reschedules dock slots so that trucks waiting at the gate clear in minutes instead of hours.

Insurance

As headquarters of major insurers like Signal Iduna and Continentale, Dortmund processes huge volumes of policies and claims that AI agents can triage, pre-check for completeness, and route to the right desk. Example: An agent reviews incoming claims, extracts the relevant figures and attachments, and shortens the initial pre-check from several days to a few minutes.

Technology & IT

The Technologiepark Dortmund and TU Dortmund spin-offs host hundreds of software, sensor, and microsystems firms, where AI agents can automate code documentation, support ticket handling, and customer onboarding for lean tech teams. Example: An agent answers recurring support tickets, drafts release notes from the changelog, and escalates only the genuinely novel issues to a human engineer.

Healthcare

With large hospitals, the Klinikum Dortmund, and a growing biomedical cluster, AI agents can ease administrative load by handling appointment coordination, documentation, and billing pre-checks. Example: An agent prepares patient intake summaries from referral letters and checks billing codes for completeness before submission, freeing staff from repetitive paperwork.
