Why SEMANU

Three reasons our clients hire us

Independent business analysis for the moment before contracts get signed and code gets written.

01

Clarity

Software does exactly what you specify, including the parts you forgot. We translate vague ideas into precise, testable specifications.

02

Independent advice

No preferred vendor, no commissions, no software to push. The only thing we measure is whether your investment delivers.

03

Measurable outcomes

Every project starts with success criteria, not promises. You know upfront how we measure whether the chosen solution actually works.

Where we work

Four kinds of software projects

The methodology is shared. The pitfalls and emphases differ per domain.

Specs, decision boundaries, evaluation

AI projects

Defining what AI should do, where humans stay in the loop and how you measure whether it actually works.

What clients say after working with us

Anonymized at the client's request. Roles and sectors are accurate.

"SEMANU asked the questions our intended vendor never would have. Two of those questions changed the contract before we signed it. The Blueprint paid for itself the day we negotiated."
Operations Director Food processing · Belgium
"What I appreciated most was the honesty. After two days of Discovery they told us our AI use case was not ready and proposed a smaller pilot first. A vendor would have sold us the full project."
CIO Precision manufacturing · Netherlands
"We had three vendors lined up for our configurator and no way to compare them apples to apples. SEMANU wrote the spec everyone bid against. The lowest quote went from feeling cheapest to clearly underspecified."
Head of Product Industrial equipment · DACH
What we do

Three ways to work with us

From first scan to live system. We stay involved as long as you need.

01

Discovery

First understand where software or AI truly adds value

In one to two weeks we examine one process, department or idea within your company. We look at where time is lost, which tasks can be automated and whether an investment realistically pays off. You don't get a technical report full of buzzwords, but clear advice: what is feasible, what it can deliver, what the risks are and which next step makes sense.

Entry package
Recent case

A food company wanted to use AI for quality control. After analysis it turned out that full automation was still premature, but a limited pilot could deliver immediate value. This way they avoided an expensive investment and could test safely in production first.

From €1,900, one-off investment
02

Blueprint

From idea to a clear, executable plan

We fully work out the project in a blueprint, so software developers or implementation partners know exactly what to build. This avoids misunderstandings, unexpected costs, missing functionality, delays and software that doesn't match reality.

Core package
Ideal for

Companies that want to compare quotes, teams working with external software partners, and AI projects that need a structured start.

One-off investment from €4,900, scope based
03

Guidance

Support during implementation and growth

Our guidance doesn't stop just before or after the implementation. We support our clients with project management during development and after launch, so projects keep working in the long run.

Ongoing partnership
Typical support

Quarterly reviews, validation of results, feedback sessions with teams and optimisations after go-live.

Partnership from €750 per month
