AI Agency Coevorden
Coevorden runs on logistics, manufacturing and trade, with the cross-border Europark as its engine. We help businesses here put AI to work where it genuinely saves time.
Why now, and why here
Coevorden has a distinct economic profile: transport and logistics around the Euroterminal, petfood and flooring at large employers such as Spectrum Brands and Forbo, and plenty of SMEs on and around Europark. That means plenty of admin, orders, quotes and communication still done by hand.
We don't start with the tool, we start with the process. First we look at where time leaks away in your working day, then we build something that fits. A fixed price up front, no open ends.

Read moreExamples of what we build
Every business has its own headaches. This is the kind of thing we build. Examples, not off-the-shelf products. We always start with your process.
Read in and prepare transport orders automatically
A logistics firm at Europark receives orders by email, PDF and sometimes still on loose paper. An AI assistant reads those incoming documents, pulls out the loading address, weight, date and reference, and prepares the trip in the planning system.
It saves a lot of daily retyping and errors. The planner stays at the wheel: they check and confirm the trip before anything hits the road. AI does the groundwork, the human decides.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also work for smaller businesses at Europark?
Yes. The gains are especially large for smaller SMEs, because there one or two people often handle all the admin. We scale the approach to what fits.
What does an AI project cost?
We work with fixed prices. After a first conversation you know in advance what you'll get and what it costs, with no surprises afterwards.
Do we need to understand AI?
No. That's precisely our job. We translate your process into a solution and make sure your team can work with it.
Meet Empathree
Empathree is an AI agency from Groningen. We help SMEs use AI not as a toy, but as something that genuinely takes work off your plate. Always with a human checking the output.
What we believe
AI is fast, but speed alone delivers nothing. The value sits in the last 30 percent: judgement, nuance, knowing which question to ask. So we never start with a tool. First we map your process, then we look at where most time leaks away, and only then decide what AI handles and what stays human work.
How we work
We work at fixed prices, no billing by the hour. You know where you stand up front. We often start with a workshop to get your team on board, then build a working system step by step, and make bespoke software where it pays off. In our own Empathree Studio we build in our developers' coding style, so everything ships secure and production-ready.
Who you get
Behind Empathree are Marc Cornelius, Maarten Oostland and René Vrieling. Marc and Maarten handle strategy, workshops and implementation, René is the lead developer who makes the software watertight. All three of us live in Groningen, so you deal with local people who build with AI every day. We only teach what we use ourselves.
Why humans in the loop
The world is filling up with automated AI slop. Our answer is simple: the human stays in the loop. With us, and with you. That is how you keep control, quality and trust, even as the technology keeps getting faster.
