Technology built around business problems

Automate work. Build what’s missing. Solve the problem.

Olten helps businesses solve problems with technology. We automate repetitive work, build applications and systems, and apply AI where it improves the solution.

Describe the problem See what we do

These are the kinds of problems we are typically brought in to solve.

Manual work across several systemsA connected and automated workflow Important processes managed in spreadsheets and emailA structured internal system Teams repeating the same admin work every weekTime saved through automation Information scattered across tools and documentsOne usable system or interface Too much work depends on people doing the same steps by handA more reliable process with fewer errors A business process has outgrown off-the-shelf toolsA custom application built around the way the business works People cannot find or use internal knowledge efficientlyAn AI-assisted knowledge solution Management knows there is inefficiency but not what to buildA clear technical plan and implementation path
What we solve

Start with the problem. We will work out the right solution.

There is no need to arrive with a fully defined brief. If a process is manual, a tool is missing, information is difficult to use, or the business has outgrown the way something currently works, we help define the problem and design the right solution.

That may mean automation, a custom application, an AI-assisted workflow, a new internal system, or a clearer technical plan before any build begins.

Automation

Remove repetitive work from your team's workload.

  • Identify repetitive tasks, handoffs and avoidable admin work
  • Connect systems and automate the steps that waste time
  • Reduce errors by replacing manual repetition with reliable workflows
Discuss automation
Apps & Systems

Build the tools your business needs.

  • Design internal tools, business systems and custom applications around real processes
  • Replace spreadsheet-heavy or patchwork workflows with a structured system
  • Create software that fits how your business works instead of forcing the business around the tool
Discuss a system or app
AI Solutions

Use AI where it creates measurable value.

  • Apply AI to document handling, internal knowledge, support workflows and information-heavy tasks
  • Build AI into business processes and applications where it makes work faster or easier
  • Use conventional software or automation instead when AI is not the best answer
Discuss an AI use case
Consulting

Work out what to build before you spend money building it.

  • Define the problem clearly before choosing a tool or technology
  • Assess whether to automate, integrate, buy or build
  • Turn unclear requirements into a realistic technical direction and implementation plan
Discuss the problem
"A business problem should not become a chain of disconnected recommendations. At Olten, the same team helps define the problem, designs the solution and gets the work delivered."
One team from problem to implementation.From problem definition to working solution
How we work

We define the problem before we build the solution.

We start by understanding the business problem and the process behind it. Then we work out the right solution, build or implement it, and make sure it is usable in practice.

Standards

Standards that make the work reliable.

These standards apply whether we are automating a process, building a system, implementing an AI solution or advising on the right technical path.

OwnedOne team

A single team stays close to the work from problem definition through implementation.

DocumentedClear handover

You receive clear documentation of decisions, flows, configuration and handover points.

ReversibleSafe to change

Work is structured so changes can be tested, adjusted and safely evolved.

SecureFrom the start

Security is considered from the start, including access, data handling and operational risk.
