    IT Inventory & International Rollout — neuefische / Future Group

    Challenge
    Uncontrolled IT costs with no overview: unassigned devices, unknown Apple IDs, no inventory, no traceability.
    Intervention
    Developed a modular IT inventory system and rolled it out internationally in a 5-phase process (planning → data collection → evaluation → control & training → monitoring) — including the Future Group in France (Paris, Lille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon), using a business-psychology approach for stakeholder buy-in.

    Impact

    112.000 €

    annual savings from the IT inventory system

    €112,000 in annual savings, 47% efficiency potential identified and realized in the IT inventory, full traceability (who/when/how/where) established.

    Omniliving Backoffice — Lead Sourcing & Outreach Automation

    Challenge
    Public tenders for modular building are scattered across hundreds of procurement offices — no overview, no systematic outreach.
    Intervention
    A self-built backoffice sources tenders from real EU procurement data (TED), enriches contacts, scores fit, and generates a personalized landing page per prospect on request — with a built-in DSGVO/UWG compliance notice before any send.

    Impact

    42 %

    qualified prospects · 680 captured

    680 prospects captured, 284 qualified (42%), 11 personalized landing pages generated — sending requires manual approval per contact.

    Challenge
    On average, a single employment reference took 15 business days to complete: 4 roles involved, 2 reminder rounds and a coordination loop per letter.
    Intervention
    An automated workflow handles drafting, coordination and reminders — turning 15 business days into minutes to a few days.

    Impact

    10–14 T€

    Projection · 130 employees · ≈ 280 hrs/year

    Live-Website mit 3D-Konfigurator — OMNI LIVING

    Challenge
    Modulare Luxus-Container-Häuser lassen sich schwer online erlebbar machen — Kataloge und Renderings vermitteln kein echtes Raumgefühl.

    Reference Project — Multi-Tenant Social-Care Operating System

    Intervention
    Eine mandantenfähige Plattform gebaut, die Klientenverwaltung, Hilfeplanung, Pflegeprozess, Dienstplanung, Einwilligungen, Risikomanagement und Abrechnung in einem System vereint — inklusive eigenem AI-Copilot und API/MCP-Schnittstelle.

    Website & Backoffice for a Tattoo Studio

    Challenge
    A tattoo studio without a professional web presence: no booking system, no gallery, no unified brand concept. The online presence consisted entirely of social media profiles.
    Intervention
    Complete brand presence with website, image gallery (carousel navigation), CMS backoffice for self-service content management, bilingual (DE/EN), responsive and accessible. Plus end-to-end branding — color palette, typography, tone of voice.

    Impact

    Professional web presence with a custom CMS, no ongoing agency costs. The owner manages gallery and content independently through the backoffice.

    Cinematic Scroll Website for a Beauty Brand

    Challenge
    A beauty brand needed a web presence that conveys product aesthetics — not just lists information. Off-the-shelf templates could not capture the visual depth or the brand experience.
    Intervention
    Custom scroll website with cinematic transitions (GSAP, Lenis Smooth Scroll), full-bleed sections and choreographed animations. Performance-optimized: Lighthouse 95+, lazy-loaded media, accessible navigation.

    Impact

    A web presence that visually positions the brand at the level of its products — without compromising load times or accessibility.

    Multi-Tenant Social Care Operating System

    Challenge
    Social care providers manage clients, services, documentation and reporting in separate systems — often Excel, paper files and isolated specialist software. Each location works differently, and organization-wide analysis does not exist.
    Intervention
    A multi-tenant operating system unifying case management, service tracking, documentation and reporting in a single platform. Role-based access control, cross-location analytics and an API layer for specialist applications.

    Impact

    A single platform replaces fragmented point solutions. Documentation time per case drops, cross-location KPIs become available for the first time.
