What we fix

Three challenges Stuttgart businesses bring to us

Stuttgart's economy is driven by precision engineering, automotive supply chains, and Mittelstand companies with 50 to 500 employees and decades of operational depth. The technology challenges are distinct: legacy systems that cannot talk to modern tools, AI initiatives waiting for someone with enough engineering credibility to scope them properly, and a digital presence that does not yet match the quality of the physical product.

Legacy systems isolated from the modern stack

A Stuttgart manufacturer with a 20-year ERP system and a SaaS CRM that cannot sync with it is not an edge case: it is the majority. Manual exports, rekeying, and spreadsheet bridges accumulate for years until an ops decision forces the issue, adding to technical debt with every workaround. We build the integration layer between what exists and what you are adding, without a big-bang platform replacement.

AI potential with no credible path to production

Stuttgart companies have identified AI opportunities: document processing, quality control data extraction, sales inquiry routing, multilingual customer communication. The gap is not ambition or budget. It is a vendor who can take a scoped use case from model selection to a monitored production system your engineers can maintain. That is what we build.

A corporate site that undersells German engineering

Your machine or product specification is outstanding. Your website does not convey that yet. Slow load, outdated UX, multilingual content that trails the German version by months, and no clear conversion path for an international buyer doing technical due diligence: we rebuild the web presence to match the product quality, with the technical rigour the Stuttgart market expects.

How we work

Scoped, documented, and delivered without drama

Stuttgart clients are used to long-term supplier relationships and high quality expectations. We work the same way: scoped engagements with written outputs at each stage, same team from kickoff through close, and no surprises between kickoff and delivery.

We work as a specialist delivery team. One accountable contact throughout, no account manager layer, no hand-off after the proposal after the proposal, and a faster path from decision to delivery. Typical engagements run four to twelve weeks.

Systems that talk to each other, finally

We build integration layers between ERP systems, modern SaaS tools, and custom manufacturing applications: REST and SOAP adapters, data pipeline orchestration, and AI-assisted document processing where the manual step is the bottleneck. Scoped to fit alongside existing operations.

Technical judgement for high-stakes technical decisions

Vendor selection for a €200k ERP customisation, architecture review before a platform investment, technical due diligence on a potential acquisition target: these are decisions where getting it wrong costs more than the engagement fee. We bring technical judgement to those moments without a full-time hire.

A website that earns the first meeting with an international buyer

Multilingual WordPress sites for Stuttgart Mittelstand companies: fast, structured, GDPR-compliant, and built to give an international procurement officer confidence before they pick up the phone. We handle German and English content architecture, product catalogue structure, and the integrations your sales team needs after the form submission.

Common questions

Questions people ask about AI automation in Stuttgart

Does Some Tech Work serve Mittelstand companies in Stuttgart?

Yes. Some Tech Work works with owner-managed and family businesses in Stuttgart and Baden-Württemberg on WordPress, AI automation, and tech strategy. Most delivery is remote with on-site workshops in Stuttgart when needed.

What AI automation fits Stuttgart manufacturing and industrial firms?

Strong first projects: supplier or service ticket routing, quote assembly from approved templates, ERP-to-CRM sync, and weekly ops reports that today need spreadsheet merges. Some Tech Work starts with one owner and one metric.

How much does an AI automation project cost in Stuttgart?

Diagnosis typically from about 3,500 euros. First production builds are fixed-price after scope, often 8,000 to 25,000 euros. Some Tech Work avoids open-ended pilots without a go-live date.

Can AI run on existing Stuttgart ERP and CRM tools?

Yes. Some Tech Work connects tools you already operate instead of forcing a platform swap. Core systems stay in place while automation handles the repetitive layer.

How do Stuttgart teams keep AI projects from stalling?

Require an owner, a success metric, and a live date before build. Some Tech Work stops the engagement early if those are missing, so spend does not go into endless demos.

Is industrial AI automation GDPR-relevant for Stuttgart SMEs?

If personal data appears in tickets, CRM, or supplier contacts, yes. Some Tech Work scopes purpose and access before go-live. Technical path: GDPR technical audit.
