AI for SMEs in Scheemda

AI Agency Scheemda

Scheemda sits strategically on the A7 between Groningen and Winschoten, with business parks such as Eextahaven and the new Scheemder Hoogte. We help entrepreneurs here work smarter with AI.

Why now, and why here

Oldambt is the fourth-largest economy in the province with over 16,000 jobs. Industry, trade and agriculture are big here, and with the Ommelander Ziekenhuis and the new plots at Scheemder Hoogte, the number of SMEs along the A7 is steadily growing.

We do not start with the tool but with your process. First we look at where you lose time, and only then do we decide whether and where AI solves something. That saves you an expensive gamble.

Examples

Examples 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.

ExampleFrom local practice

Quotes out the door faster at a trading or installation business

Think of a wholesaler or installer at Eextahaven who makes quotes every day. An AI assistant reads the request, pulls in the right prices and items and prepares a draft quote.

You save hours a week and errors in the calculation go down. The entrepreneur or estimator always takes a final look and hits send. The human keeps control, the AI does the groundwork.

This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Close by, from Groningen

From the city of Groningen you are in Scheemda in just under half an hour via the A7. We are happy to come over on site for an in-company workshop or to sit in on the shop floor.

All three of us live in Groningen. Short lines, quick to respond, and someone who knows the region.

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.
