AI for finance
and production.

Kapitel H helps small and mid-sized companies in finance and production reduce routine work and make decisions with useful data. Based in Sisseln, Aargau, the consultancy combines potential analysis, AI agents and system integrations, process and industrial automation, and training. Dr. Maher Hamid and Schady Hamid, B.Eng. guide business and technical delivery.

Selection starts with the use case: which task should improve, what quality is needed, and which data may be processed? Kapitel H assesses options including OpenAI, Anthropic and local models on suitable hardware. Integration, ongoing costs and the work needed to operate the solution are part of that assessment.

That depends on the full data flow. A local MCP server alone is not enough: model hosting, transmitted content, logs and connected services also matter. Before use, we agree permitted data flows, storage locations, retention and training use. Fully local operation is assessed separately where the data requirements call for it.

Possible source systems include Abacus, Bexio, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, Microsoft 365 and DATEV. In production, options include OPC UA, Siemens S7, Beckhoff, B&R, MES and control systems. Feasibility and scope depend on available interfaces, licences, data quality and access rights. Actions that control equipment require separate approval.

We start with a specific workflow, such as invoice checks, month-end reporting or production reports. Processing time, errors and rework provide a baseline. A potential analysis estimates value and effort using explicit assumptions. The pilot tests what works in practice. Estimated potential is not yet realised savings.

Key factors are process scope, systems involved, data quality, access rights, security needs, training and operation. The first conversation establishes your goal and starting point, followed by a proposal with an agreed scope. Pilot, production delivery and ongoing support are defined separately so you can decide on each next step.

Four to six weeks can be an indicative timeframe for a scoped finance or reporting pilot once interfaces, data access, owners and approvals are in place. We agree the schedule after assessment. Production follows successful acceptance and an agreed operating plan; the work needed to reach it is planned separately.

Your business team and IT help define goals, evaluation criteria and approvals. Training and exercises using your own process cover daily use, checking results and handling errors. Documentation, agreed source code and operating knowledge form part of the handover. Together we decide which tasks your team takes on and where support remains useful.

Kapitel H is based in Sisseln, Aargau, with a focus on German-speaking Switzerland. Consulting and training are also offered to companies in Germany and Austria. Projects can run in German or English. Location, on-site work and the way we collaborate are agreed to suit each project.
