Rethinking your company with AI
We plan and build local, data-sovereign AI systems, so that knowledge stays in the company, routine work runs automatically and growth does not fail for lack of staff.
For mid-sized companies in the DACH region.

ivato’s management explains how companies can overcome silos and speed up entire processes with their own AI, without giving up control over their data and knowledge.
In just under four minutes, ivato’s management explains how companies overcome silo thinking, start with five fundamental levers and automate entire processes with their own, self-operated AI: from day one, with a catalogue of more than 100 proven applications, and with data and knowledge under their own control. Subtitles (in German) are shown on screen.
Five levers, one proven system
Five places where companies lose money, time or value today. Behind each of these solutions there is now AI as well.
How we work
We work systematically: together we analyse where it costs the most. We find ways and implement them, today mostly with AI as well. And we support the solution and develop it further with you.
Together with you, we name the problem that costs the most, with figures, not gut feeling.
We find the way and implement it in your existing systems. Today mostly with AI automation.
We support the system in operation and develop it further with you as the market and AI change.
Circle of Digital Excellence
Five levers, one method from 25+ years of practice. We analyse together, implement and keep developing. Today almost always with AI as well.
The problem
Leads wait.
Enquiries get stuck in the queue while your team maintains Excel lists instead of selling.
42 hrsis the average wait of an online enquiry for a reply
C.O.D.E. solution
A reply within minutes.
AI agents qualify enquiries, remind you to follow up and keep your CRM up to date, directly in the systems you already use.
In numbers · Example calculation: faster lead response
In this example, a single additional order per month already covers the running costs of CRM automation.
Example calculation using figures from past projects. No guarantee.
Data sovereignty
Your data stays in your systems
We connect AI to your processes without letting your data out of your hands, from documents to call transcripts. You decide what a model may see. On request, the model runs on servers in Germany or on your own premises.
Independent of the AI model
GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral or your own locally run model: the solution belongs to you, and the model remains interchangeable.
Open to agents and tools
We connect your own AI agents, Microsoft 365 Copilot or other tools through open interfaces such as MCP, each with only the data you release.
No rotating freelancer team and no slides that end up in a drawer. Fixed contacts support you from the diagnosis to a system that works in your everyday business.

Frequently asked questions
Your question is not here? In the initial conversation we take 30 minutes for your specific topic.
Our approach in every project: together we analyse where your company loses the most money, time or value, implement the solution (today usually with AI as well), and support and develop it further with you. It has grown out of more than 1,000 successfully supported projects over 25 years.
Sales & CRM, scaling with AI, reducing cost pressure, securing succession and remote leadership. We will work out which lever brings you the most in the free initial conversation, even if your topic sits between two levers.
With you. We connect AI to your systems in such a way that you decide what a model may see and process. If you wish, we set up solutions hosted in the EU or in your own infrastructure.
No. Our solutions are model-independent: Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or your own model can be connected and swapped later without rebuilding the system.
As a rule, no. The automation runs alongside your CRM, ERP and office programs and connects to what you already use.
Depending on the lever, usually eight to twelve weeks until the system is running, not months until the next meeting.
That depends on the lever and the scope. The assessment in the initial conversation is free of charge; after that you receive a binding offer for your project.
Often, yes. For consulting there is a grant of up to €5,600, and for implementation up to 60% of the costs, depending on the federal state and company size. We will clarify in the initial conversation whether this applies to you.
We agree measurable targets in the contract, but no blanket guarantee. The example calculations on this page show typical orders of magnitude, not assured values.
No. We translate between your business and the technology, train your team and remain your point of contact for operation and further development after the launch.
