FUNKE automates

Software, apps and agents that take over what is still done by hand.

My own toolbox makes me fast as a single person. From it come programs for the companies I work with: what runs by hand at your company every week then runs by itself. FUNKE comes as a subscription.

Druckpunkt 04 · Speed

25%

“Everyone is getting faster. We still do a lot by hand.”

faster task completion for consultants using AI tools. Field experiment with 758 BCG consultants, Organization Science, March/April 2026

Automation creates speed.

Five lanes of work. With AI tools, a quarter is freed up.

What is often missing

Common gaps in the system

  1. 01Reports are built by hand every week.
  2. 02AI tools are in use, but with no process behind them.
  3. 03Knowledge sits in individual heads.
  4. 04There is no in-house programming team.
  5. 05Data sheets and quotes are made by hand for each client.

Four stages

Save time to focus on what matters.

From simple helpers to a fully digitised marketing department. Each stage can be booked on its own; the first three are already running.

  1. Stufe 1Automating workflowsReport and slides come out of one ZIFFER run.
  2. Stufe 2Custom appsZIFFER App, Benchmark, Barometer.
  3. Stufe 3Agents that work on their ownLeichti, the leichtbau agent, via WhatsApp. Plus the chatbot in the Benchmark.
  4. Stufe 4The digitised departmentEverything meshes, runs by subscription and keeps saving costs.

Each stage on its own. No ERP, no CRM, no general AI roll-out.

Toolbox

FUNKE adapts to your needs

Here are a few examples that run today. For you, they become a tool of your own, tailored to your data and processes.

ZIFFER: upload the delivery files before the calculation runs

Analysis as an app

ZIFFER App

Calculates the product range from your own data, from PIM, ERP or Excel. A local program without a network connection: pull the network cable in the meeting, and the analysis keeps running.

  • Calculated locally
  • Report, slides, Excel
  • 71 metrics

Internal tool · you receive report, slides and Excel

The market compared

Benchmark system

A comparison that makes the market visible: which qualities, which prices, which promotions at which retailer, split by DIY and professional. A reference line asks a question; it does not set a norm.

  • Comparison side by side
  • Price radar
  • Output as Excel and PowerPoint

In internal development · goes to clients only after legal review

An agent that answers

Chatbot

An assistant inside the tool: it answers questions on data and method, only from the data and with evidence, and records error reports. A correction is applied only once a person approves it.

  • Answers with evidence
  • Report errors
  • Corrections only with approval

Runs in the Benchmark system

Daily view of the app in green: the picture of the bus stop in the ring, below it the bus as the next picture

App for everyday life

Daily plan in pictures

For a resident with autism: her day in pictures, green for now, orange for next, a voice instead of a clock. The team plans on the phone.

  • Pictures instead of words
  • Voice and reminders
  • Planning on the phone

Prototype · the test in the care facility is still to come

Your tool

What still runs by hand at your company?

Report, list, reconciliation, enquiry: whatever comes back every week can become a tool.

Talk about it

The benchmark system shows an illustration with invented retailers and values, not real data. The Lighthouse scores are measured.
