SBC International/What we do/AI, data and analytics

Decisions based on facts, AI that really works.

Most businesses have more data than they use, and see AI as a promise without knowing where to begin. We have travelled that road many times. SBC International builds and implements AI across every process in a business, from quotes and invoicing to customer follow-⁠up and reporting. We turn your data into insight, build dashboards you can steer by and develop AI applications and automations tailored to the way you work, at a fixed price per project.

II · Processes and data

Your challenge, our expertise.

Six questions that directors and business owners most often bring to us in this field. In practice they overlap, and often touch the other pillars too.

01

Data strategy

Which data matters for your strategy, where it comes from and who is responsible for it.

02

Dashboards and reporting

An overview of the figures that matter to you every week, updated automatically and easy to read.

03

Analysis for decisions

Targeted analysis of customers, prices, margins or processes that underpins a specific decision.

04

AI Engineering: bespoke AI, built for you

We look for where AI saves time or supports better decisions, and build the application ourselves around your needs: an assistant for emails and documents, a chatbot for customer questions, automated follow-⁠up. First a working pilot, then the roll-⁠out.

05

Data quality and governance

Reliable data with clear agreements on input, ownership and access.

06

Responsible use of AI

Agreements on privacy, security and the EU AI Act, with training and a clear owner, so that AI is actually used.

Bespoke AI

AI that works in your processes, at a fixed price.

We do not just talk about AI, we build it. SBC International has designed, built and deployed a wide range of AI applications and automations, across every process in a business. SBC International builds and implements the applications with its own team. Together we can automate virtually any process, with a bespoke program at a fixed price agreed in advance.

Built in-⁠house, with our own team

SBC International builds and implements the applications with its own team, so we can automate virtually any process.

Across all your processes

From quotes, invoicing and purchasing to planning, customer follow-⁠up and reporting. We look at where AI saves time or supports better decisions, and build the application in where it makes the difference.

Built to measure

Not an off-⁠the-⁠shelf package you have to adapt to, but a program that starts from the way you work and connects to the systems you already use.

A fixed price

After the three reports, you receive one fixed price per project, agreed in advance. You know where you stand, with no open-⁠ended bill.

We build the AI in where it makes the difference, and connect it to the systems you already use. Every process runs more reliably, and you keep the overview.
Built, not promised

AI already running in production.

We do not build presentations about AI, we run our own business on it. What we build for you, we have first put into practice ourselves.

01

Our own administration

SBC runs its own bookkeeping on AI it built itself: invoices, payments and receipts are read in, booked and followed up automatically. Every day, with no manual work.

02

Connected to your systems

Not an isolated island, but an application that connects to accounting, bank, email and calendar. The AI works where your data already lives.

03

From pilot to roll-⁠out

We start with a well-⁠defined pilot that proves itself quickly, and only extend what demonstrably works. You see the result before you scale up.

04

A partner who has done it

We have travelled that road many times. You are not working with an adviser who reads about it, but with someone who has built and rolled it out themselves.

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know.

Where do you start with data and analytics?

With the decisions you want to make. From those questions, we determine which figures are required, where they come from and how to make them reliable.

Is AI already worthwhile for an SME?

Often it is, for tasks such as drawing up quotes, processing documents, planning or answering customer questions. We first test whether an application is feasible and pays for itself.

Does SBC build AI applications itself?

Yes. Starting from your needs, we build the application ourselves: assistants, chatbots, document processing and automated follow-⁠up, connected to the systems you already use. We start small with a pilot and extend what demonstrably works. We have travelled that road many times, so you work with a partner who has really done it.

Who builds and implements the applications?

SBC International builds and implements the applications with its own team. This means we can automate virtually any process, from a simple assistant to an integration between all your systems.

In which processes can AI make a difference?

In virtually all of them. We have already built AI applications for quotes, invoicing and purchasing, for planning and document processing, and for customer follow-⁠up and reporting. We always start where the biggest time saving or the best decision lies, and build the application in there.

What does a bespoke AI application cost?

You work with a fixed price per project. After the free scan, the Direction Call and the three reports, we define the scope and agree one price, in advance. So you know where you stand beforehand, with no open-⁠ended bill. We usually start with a well-⁠defined pilot and extend what demonstrably works.

What does the EU AI Act require of my business?

That depends on how you use AI. Most applications in an SME fall under light obligations, such as transparency and sufficient knowledge among the people who work with them. We map out what applies to you and put the appropriate agreements in place.

Next step

Discover where AI saves you time and money.

Start with the free AI Opportunity Scan. In a two-⁠hour Direction Call via Teams, we then map out which process lends itself to AI first, and you receive three reports. Strictly confidential.
