NQB Solutions

Automation and decision support

Your team rekeys data, builds quotes by hand and waits for month-end to see the numbers. We build the software that takes that over, works out the plan and keeps your numbers current, in your tools or built for you.

When the missing piece is software. You have friction in your operations, or need a tool nobody sells ready-made. We build the software that settles it and put it into service, inside your systems and alongside your teams.

Document extraction
A document a machine has to read.

Document extraction

A PDF, an email, a technical drawing. The information is there, it just is not in your systems. Finding the tables and the fields in a document whose shape changes every time, pulling out a number, a dimension, a bill-of-materials line, then writing the result where your teams look for it.

Agents wired into your systems
The agent works inside your tools, not beside them.

Agents wired into your systems

An inbox takes requests all day long. An agent sorts them, pulls out what matters, queries your systems for availability or price and drafts the reply. What counts is not the model, it is everything around it. When it stays quiet, when it hands over to a person, what it logs, how you check that it did not get it wrong.

Custom business software
The tool is built for the workstation.

Custom business software

The tool you need does not exist, or costs more to bend to your way of working than to build. A viewer for the shop floor, a step-by-step assistant where the operator validates and corrects before moving on, an executable that runs with nothing to install. The software fits the trade, not the other way around.

Optimization under constraints
A plan that holds every rule.

Optimization under constraints

Routes, schedules, sequencing, placement. The rules pile up until nobody can settle it by eye any more, and the chosen plan becomes the one from whoever has the habit. Operations research computes the plan that holds the real constraints, trade rules included, then recomputes it when a figure moves.

Migration and data carry-over
What crosses over has to arrive intact.

Migration and data carry-over

Changing platforms is mostly moving data that does not line up. Matching fields from one system to the next, translating and having validated what needs it, rebuilding the history the new platform expects in another shape, checking before the switch rather than after.

Automatic reports and dashboards
The figures arrive without being asked for.

Automatic reports and dashboards

Your figures already exist, scattered across the ERP, the CRM and spreadsheets. Bringing them into one source, shaping them, sending them on their own, on time, in the format the reader expects. A report that arrives by itself gets read. A report someone has to produce does not.

External monitoring and collection
The useful information is often outside.

External monitoring and collection

What your systems do not hold has to be fetched from outside. Collecting from public sources at a rate they tolerate, reshaping what comes out, then maintaining it, because a site changes and collection breaks without warning.

What is not worth automating
Sometimes the right answer is to do nothing.

What is not worth automating

A tedious task is not always a task to automate. Three times a month does not justify a system, and neither does a rule that changes every quarter. The same question arises between building and buying. A subscription is often enough. Sometimes it is the opposite, because building custom costs less than it used to. We say so before the quote, not after.

Which task costs you the most time?

You walk away with an automation running in your tools, a plan computed under your real constraints or a dashboard wired to your data. You own it, and we stay on to adjust it as your data changes.
