We transform businessesinto an AI-first operation.

We don't just look at individual tasks, but at the entire business process. We analyze where time and money are being lost and build automations that make real impact, aligned with your strategy and growth.

That depends on how your business works, but much more than you probably think. We examine your processes in detail and map out where time or money is being lost. Based on that, we determine which tasks can be automated. In most cases, we discover automation opportunities that our clients hadn't noticed themselves, or didn't know were even possible.

Both. We integrate existing tools (such as CRMs, accounting software, or internal systems) where possible, but also develop custom automations when needed.

Yes. We stay involved for maintenance, updates, and further optimization. Automation isn't a one-time project. It's a continuous process of improvement.

Costs depend on complexity and the number of processes being automated. A typical project starts from a few thousand euros for a targeted automation, up to tens of thousands for a full supply-chain transformation. Our clients recoup their investment within 3 to 6 months on average through savings on labor time and error reduction.

A focused automation project typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from strategy to go-live. Larger engagements with multiple processes run over 3 to 6 months, phased so you see results quickly. We always start with a 1 to 2 week strategy phase to determine the right priorities.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) follows fixed rules and repeats tasks exactly as programmed. AI automation goes further: it understands context, learns from data, and handles variation. Think of automatically recognizing and processing invoices in different formats, or predicting inventory needs based on historical trends. We deploy whichever technology best fits your process.

Not necessarily. Many businesses think they need a major data cleanup project first, but that's rarely the case. We assess the current state of your data and determine the minimum needed to get started. Often we can achieve significant results with existing data, improving data quality as part of the automation process itself.

We work for wholesalers, distributors and supermarkets, particularly in food & beverage, drinks, and consumer products. Our experience across 75+ projects means we understand the specific challenges: seasonal demand, complex supply chains, ERP integrations, and high volumes of orders and invoices.

Our clients see an average saving of 8 to 16 hours per week per team, error reduction of 90% or more in data processing, and a payback period of 3 to 6 months. Concrete examples: Dorstlust achieved 40% workload reduction, Right Spirits processes orders 4x faster with 99% fewer errors, and Brand Venture saves 8+ hours per week on reporting.

Nodient integrates with the systems wholesalers and distributors use every day, including Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP, Exact, Odoo, Microsoft Power BI, and Google Workspace. Using a different system? In most cases we can connect to that too.

Nodient was founded by Chris Abear (CEO, former strategy consultant at KPMG), Jair Emanuels (CCO, background in Information Science), and Huseyin Olmez (COO and AI partner). Together we combine strategy, automation, and AI for wholesalers and distributors.

Nodient is based at Keizersgracht 452, 1016 GD Amsterdam, the Netherlands. You can reach us at info@nodient.nl or +31 6 49260631. From Amsterdam we work with wholesalers, distributors and supermarkets across Europe.
