What we build
Operational software, not generic digital transformation slides
We step in where time, revenue, or data is leaking today and build the missing infrastructure directly with your team.
CRM automation
Leads, follow-ups, deal stages, reporting and handoffs between sales and operations.
Internal tools
Dashboards, forms, review flows and small apps that replace spreadsheet chaos.
AI workflows
Assistants and automations for research, email, documents and back-office processes.
Data infrastructure
Clean data flows across CRM, sheets, databases and reporting tools.
How we work
Low theatre. High output.
Find the bottleneck
In the intro call we isolate the process that is currently costing the most time, money, or clarity.
Ship within days
We build the first version immediately. No separate scoping project, no multi-week runway before anything happens.
Iterate from reality
What works gets extended. What does not matter gets removed. That is how operational software actually compounds.
Frequently asked questions
What operators and founders usually ask first
Who is 1d.de for?
For companies that know they need operational leverage but do not want to build an internal product or engineering team first. Typical fits are service businesses, agencies, consultancies and mid-sized teams with 5–50 people.
How fast can something go live?
If the problem is clear and we have the necessary access, the first productive version often ships within 48–72 hours.
Do we need a precise spec before talking?
No. Clarifying the real bottleneck is often part of the work. We help structure the problem and then move directly into implementation.
Do you only work on AI topics?
No. AI is just one tool when it improves a concrete workflow. We also build classic automations, internal tools and reliable data flows.
What does collaboration usually look like?
Most often it is a monthly retainer with one weekly call and async implementation in between. One-off projects are possible as well.
How do you handle sensitive data?
Pragmatically and with restraint. We only ask for access that is necessary for the workflow and we prefer simple, explainable setups over needless complexity.
A process is slowing you down? Let's talk about it this week.
