Solution Patterns

What we can build for you

These are not invented case studies. They are engineering patterns we have implemented, documented, or productized, each linked to something you can inspect: a guide, a product, or working code.

What a solution pattern is, and when to use one

A solution pattern is a reusable architecture we have already built, documented, or productized, ready to adapt to your problem instead of designed from a blank page. Choose a pattern when your problem rhymes with one of these: document automation, governed RAG, AI workflows, product data sync, multi-tenant SaaS, or commerce and ERP integration. The pattern decides the shape, audit trail, and failure handling up front, so the engagement spends its budget on what is specific to you. Choose a bespoke build when the core mechanic has no established pattern. Most enterprise work is a known pattern plus your domain, not a brand-new invention.

  • A pattern is proven structure: extraction, access control, idempotency, and audit decided before the project starts, not discovered mid-build.
  • It compresses cost and risk because the hard architecture is settled, leaving budget for your domain and edge cases.
  • Use a pattern when your problem matches one of the six; use a bespoke build only when the core mechanic is genuinely new.
  • Every pattern here links to something you can inspect: a guide, open-source code, or a feature running in production, not an invented case study.
01

Document automation with human review

Intake, extraction, classification and routing of documents with approval gates and a full audit trail. The pattern behind most production AI value.

Every company we meet has the same pile: invoices, delivery notes, supplier confirmations, claims. Someone opens each document, reads it, retypes the numbers into a system and forwards it. That person is expensive, bored and occasionally wrong. The fix is not a chatbot. It is a pipeline that reads, classifies and routes documents automatically, and pulls a human in exactly when confidence drops.

When you need it

  • Your team retypes data from PDFs or emails into ERP, accounting or ticketing systems
  • Volume grows faster than headcount and errors surface weeks later
  • Compliance requires proof of who approved what and when

How we build it

  1. 1Map the document types, volumes and the cost of today's manual handling
  2. 2Build extraction and classification with confidence thresholds; low confidence routes to a human review queue
  3. 3Wire approval gates, the audit trail and the handover into your target systems

What you get

  • A working pipeline in your infrastructure
  • An audit trail that satisfies compliance reviews
  • A documented runbook your team operates

02

Governed enterprise RAG

Retrieval over your knowledge with access control, grounding, citations and evaluation. Built so legal and security sign off, not just the demo audience.

The answer exists. It sits in a wiki page from 2022, a closed ticket and the head of support's memory. New employees ask the same questions, customers wait while someone searches. Retrieval-augmented generation makes that knowledge answerable, but only when access control and citations are engineered in from day one, not bolted on after the demo.

When you need it

  • Support, sales or engineering keep answering the same questions from scattered sources
  • Documentation exists but nobody finds it when it matters
  • A generic chatbot already invented answers with full confidence

How we build it

  1. 1Inventory the knowledge sources and who is allowed to see what
  2. 2Build the retrieval pipeline: chunking, embeddings, access-controlled retrieval with citations
  3. 3Stand up the evaluation loop so answer quality is measured, not assumed

What you get

  • Grounded answers with citations, not confident guesses
  • Access control your legal team signs off
  • An evaluation dashboard with real quality numbers

03

AI-assisted operational workflows

Agents inside real processes: qualification, summarization, handover to humans. The assistant on this site is this pattern, in production.

An agent is software that decides the next step itself, inside boundaries you define. Done badly, it is a demo that breaks in week two. Done properly, it qualifies a lead at 2 am, books the meeting, writes the summary and knows exactly when to stop and hand over to a human. The difference is engineering: explicit tools, logged decisions, hard limits.

When you need it

  • A workflow burns hours on triage, qualification or scheduling that follows learnable rules
  • Response time decides whether you win the deal or the case
  • You want automation but legal needs every automated decision traceable

How we build it

  1. 1Pick one workflow where minutes matter and failure is visible
  2. 2Build the agent with explicit tools, qualification logic and a hard handover line to humans
  3. 3Instrument everything: every action logged, every decision traceable

What you get

  • An agent in production, not a demo
  • A full decision log for every automated step
  • Clean handover points where humans stay in charge

04

Product data synchronization

ERP, PIM, shop and marketplaces kept consistent through idempotent, monitored pipelines. Our open-source Data Hub plugin encodes the discipline.

Product data lives in the ERP, gets enriched in the PIM and has to land correct in the shop and on every marketplace, in every language, at every price change. Manual exports and one-off scripts hold this together until they don't. The pattern: idempotent pipelines that re-run safely, preview before they write and tell you what changed.

When you need it

  • Channel data drifts: prices or stock differ between shop, marketplace and ERP
  • Imports break when a supplier changes a column and nobody notices for days
  • Launching a new channel or language takes weeks of manual mapping

How we build it

  1. 1Model the data flows between ERP, PIM, shop and marketplaces, including the failure cases
  2. 2Build idempotent pipelines with dry-run previews, retries and monitoring
  3. 3Cut over feed by feed, with the old path alive until each new one is proven

What you get

  • Consistent data across every channel
  • Pipelines that survive supplier format changes
  • Monitoring that knows before your customers do

05

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms

Tenant isolation, billing, role models and operational tooling engineered from day one instead of bolted on after the tenth customer.

The first customer of your platform is easy. The tenth exposes every shortcut: shared data leaking across accounts, billing logic in spreadsheets, deployments everyone fears. Multi-tenancy is an architecture decision, and retrofitting it costs a multiple of building it right. We build the spine first: isolation, roles, billing, operations.

When you need it

  • You are turning an internal tool or a single-client build into a product
  • Tenant onboarding still means manual database or deployment work
  • Investors or enterprise buyers ask how data isolation actually works

How we build it

  1. 1Design tenant isolation, the role model and billing as architecture, not afterthoughts
  2. 2Build the platform spine: gateway, tenant context, isolated data, ops tooling
  3. 3Harden for the second and the tenth tenant: migrations, limits, observability

What you get

  • A platform that onboards tenants in hours
  • Cost and usage transparency per tenant
  • Documentation that makes tenant two cheaper than tenant one

Commerce and ERP integration

Order sync, inventory, pricing and invoicing flows between shop and ERP that survive retries, partial failures and month-end load.

An order placed at 23:58 on the last day of the month, paid by invoice, with one item out of stock: this is where shop-ERP integrations die. The happy path is easy; the partial failures are the project. We build the integration layer with idempotency, dead-letter queues and business-level alerting, so the order either completes or someone learns exactly why not.

When you need it

  • Orders go missing or double between shop and ERP and nobody can say where
  • Stock and prices lag, so you oversell or undersell
  • Month-end volume turns the integration into a support fire drill

How we build it

  1. 1Map order, stock, price and invoice flows including partial-failure behavior
  2. 2Build the integration layer with idempotency, dead-letter queues and alerting
  3. 3Load-test against month-end volume before anyone depends on it

What you get

  • Order flows that survive retries and month-end load
  • One integration layer instead of point-to-point spaghetti
  • Alerting on the business level: which order failed, not which pod died

Solution patterns: frequently asked questions

A solution pattern starts from architecture we have already shipped and documented, so the structure, audit trail, and failure handling are decided before the project begins. A bespoke build starts from a blank page. Most enterprise projects are a known pattern plus your specific domain. We reach for a pattern when your problem matches one of the six on this page, and we build bespoke only when the core mechanic has no established pattern to adapt.
No. These are engineering patterns we have implemented, documented, or productized, not invented case studies and not named-client stories. Each one links to something you can inspect directly: a guide, our open-source Data Hub plugin, or a feature already running on this site, such as the AI assistant. We show inspectable proof rather than logos or testimonials so you can judge the work, not the marketing.
A pattern fixes the parts that should not be reinvented and leaves the rest open. The structure, security model, and operational discipline are reused. Your data model, business rules, integrations, and edge cases are built around them. The pattern is a starting architecture, not a template you are locked into. If your case needs something outside the pattern, we extend it; we do not bend your problem to fit it.
A pattern removes the most uncertain part of an estimate, the foundational architecture, because that work is already settled. Budget then goes to what is specific to you. Our software engagements start from 25k EUR, AI and data engagements from 50k EUR, and focused integrations from 15k EUR. The exact figure depends on your domain, integration surface, and edge cases. Describe your problem and a senior engineer maps it to a pattern with a grounded estimate.
The patterns cover what repeats across enterprise work; engagements cover what is specific to you. If your case does not match any of the six, that is a normal starting point for a conversation, not a dead end. A senior engineer maps your problem, reuses any pattern that fits the parts that rhyme, and designs the rest. You get the same operational discipline, audit trail, and SLA target whether the work is a pure pattern, a hybrid, or a genuinely new build.
