AI consultancy and implementation
We determine where AI demonstrably saves your organisation time or money, and implement it. From chatbots and AI assistants to automated document processing.
- AI scan
- Chatbots and agents
- Honest advice
AI and automation that works.
Klappe Development advises on AI, process automation and custom software, and carries it out as well. We map where time is lost, design the solution and build it into the systems you already use. From process analysis to ongoing support, under one roof.

Advice and implementation under one roof
Not a report that ends up in a drawer. We advise, implement and stay involved until the work demonstrably runs on its own.
Automation
From manual work to processes that run on their own: integrations between systems, internal tools and automated workflows.
- Integrations
- Internal tools
- Workflows
Websites and web apps
A fast website or web app as the foundation for your automation and AI. Custom built, without WordPress or Wix.
- Custom
- Fast
- Search-ready
Custom software and internal tools
Where no standard package fits your process, we develop the software ourselves: internal tools, dashboards, portals, integrations and complete backends, custom made and under your own control.
Where we work
Every organisation loses time in a different place. Three settings where we work most often, with solutions in use today.
Production and workshops
Measure the process on the floor first, then automate what pays off.
From practice
Truss load calculation
At Artica: a tool reads the IronCAD model of a stand and calculates the load per suspension point, with the same method as the old sheet. A person confirms trusses, banner and rings on the plan.
Also: a label station that prints the shipping label for a scanned packing slip and never buys the same label twice.
Webshops and logistics
Orders, stock and invoices retyped back and forth between systems.
From practice
Webshop integrations
Schakel: integrations between the webshop, bol and the accounts. Orders and stock flow through automatically, without retyping.
Also: a Shopify app that puts a paid order straight into the 3D printers' queue.
Services and SMEs
Lists, emails and documents merged or processed by hand every week.
From practice
Merging stock lists
At Floravert: the stock lists of around 350 growers, each in its own layout, are recognised by AI and merged into one sales list. That saves hours of manual work every week.
Also: Vonk, an AI assistant that works in the CRM at EuropaSign, always after a colleague confirms.
Engagements and projects
A selection of engagements and projects: real clients, real systems.
-
Artica
Pilot, exhibition building
- Problem
- Working out how much weight each truss suspension point carries was done by hand, on a separate sheet per project.
- What was built
- A tool that reads the IronCAD model of the stand, finds the suspension points and lights and calculates the load per point with the same method. A person confirms trusses, banner and rings on the plan. The work planners in the workshop save a lot of time.
-
EuropaSign
Custom software, production
- Problem
- Laying parts from customer files out on plates, nesting, was first done by hand.
- What was built
- Nest, a custom tool that reads the PDF files, lays the parts out on the plate and saves the result as a DXF, PDF or Illustrator file for the milling software.
-
Floravert
Internal tool
- Problem
- The stock lists of around 350 growers, each in its own layout, had to become one sales list.
- What was built
- AI recognises the structure of each list, a script makes the data consistent and one click puts it in Excel. That saves hours of manual work every week.
-
EuropaSign
AI assistant for the team
- Problem
- The team at sign maker EuropaSign wanted faster access to customer and project data, with fewer steps in their CRM and website.
- What was built
- Vonk, an internal AI assistant that knows their data and makes changes in the CRM and on the website, always only after a colleague confirms.
-
CareerMate
AI inside a platform
- Problem
- A recruitment platform that wanted to give visitors a personal analysis of their CV and market value.
- What was built
- A CV check, salary guide and market value tool that write a personal analysis with AI. The client manages the prompts and settings in the CMS.
-
TreinGeldTerug
Platform, fully automated
- Problem
- Claiming money back for Dutch train delays costs travellers time, every time.
- What was built
- A service that detects delays, files claims, handles them and invoices. The whole backend runs without anyone having to watch it.
Where does your time go?
Pick one recurring task, such as retyping orders, merging lists or forwarding emails. Enter the time it takes today and see what it costs per year.
What an engagement looks like
Four phases, each with a concrete result. After each phase you decide whether we continue.
Process analysis
We look at the work where it happens: in the office, in the workshop or on the floor. We measure where time goes and where errors arise.
Deliverables
- Conversations with the people who do the work
- The current process mapped, step by step
- An overview of where time leaks away and why
Advice and plan
A reasoned choice: what pays off, what does not, and what you are better off leaving as it is. Only then is anything built.
Deliverables
- Priorities, ranked by return
- Choice of tools and integrations, including existing packages
- Agreements on data, permissions and governance
- A plan and a price up front
Implementation
We build in steps and connect to the systems you already have. First alongside the old process, with real data.
Deliverables
- Working software in your own environment
- Testing alongside the current process
- Instruction for the team that uses it
Support and scaling
We keep refining until it runs reliably, and extend to the next process when that pays off.
Deliverables
- Monitoring and alerts on deviations
- Direct contact, including via WhatsApp
- A next step once the first is in place
Frequently asked questions
What does an engagement cost?
That depends on the scope. After the process analysis you get a plan and a price, before anything is built. A first call comes with no obligation.
Do we need to buy new software?
Usually not. We build in and around the systems you already use. If an existing package already does the job well, we say so.
What happens to our data?
Up front we agree which data goes where, including to AI models, and with which permissions software works in your systems. Where AI changes something, a colleague can confirm first. Hosting through Klappe Hosting runs on servers in Europe.
Do you work on site?
Yes. For a process analysis we like to see where the work happens, anywhere in the Netherlands. The development itself is mostly done remotely.
Who maintains it afterwards?
We do. You keep direct contact with whoever built it; we monitor the solution and adjust when your process changes.
How soon will something run?
That too depends on the scope. We start with the part that returns the most, so something is in use as early as possible.
Where does your team's time go?
Tell us. In a first, no-obligation call we assess together what there is to gain.
