Processes on autopilot since 2013
When we dedicated our own company to the IT challenges of companies over a decade ago, automation was still the preserve of large corporations with budgets in the millions. It took years of planning, numerous programmers and a lot of human working time, which – as we humans are – was characterized by mistakes. An absurd situation, since automation is actually about avoiding precisely these factors. Years of planning, even though this is exactly what you don’t want. People doing the same thing over and over again, even though that’s exactly what you want to avoid. Mistakes in the attempt to reduce these to zero. High financial investments, even though the essence of automation is to save financial resources. A solution had to be found.
What began with individual IT solutions for our customers quickly led to a holistic platform that ensures that goals are achieved in the same way as the goals themselves. The birth of linqi. Without investors, without giving up our independence and therefore without the risk of having to confess our premature demise to those who put their trust in us. Today, linqi is an integral part of the everyday life of companies, authorities and corporations worldwide, improves the work of several million employees and has become an indispensable part of our customers’ day-to-day business. Every day, we work to develop linqi further and to guarantee the stability of the software, which our customers say gives them a huge market advantage.
Everything we do is based on three convictions.
Nobody knows their own processes as well as those who are part of them.
Two ingredients are always needed to optimize a process: The IT know-how needed to automate it and a deep understanding of your own processes. We believe that it makes more sense to give the right tool to those who already understand their own processes, because they are part of them every day, than to explain every step of a process to IT experts.
Automation must be so simple that anyone can implement it.
All the advantages that automation brings are of no use if nobody can implement them. You can’t save working time if you have to invest a lot of time first. You can’t save money if you have to pay expensive experts to do it. We are convinced that automation must be so easy to implement that anyone can really use it for themselves.
Automation is only worthwhile if you save more than it costs.
Really good software is usually expensive. The greater the benefit, the more you pay for it. That’s not a bad thing at first – every entrepreneur will understand that. But with our objective, pricing the benefit is an absurd situation, because it makes the tool useless. Part of our strategy is therefore to keep the prices so low that the benefits ultimately always outweigh the costs.
