The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on! Our mission is to allow small and medium-sized business owners to save time and focus on what is truly important: growing their business. Instead of spending their time on day-to-day administration and management work. We do this through digital transformation and process automation. A lot of businesses have amazing potential that is not being utilized because day-to-day operations are taking up most of the time that otherwise could’ve been invested in developing new business ideas and income opportunities. In a large part, the reason for this rising potential is the technological advancement we have seen over the past few years. Although it is creating opportunities, a lot of companies have a hard time adapting their operational and administrative processes to this new way of doing business. As mentioned our whole reason for existence is to help companies go through digital transformation, to set themselves free of their old inefficient processes. We use a combination of different frameworks from the fields of Business Process Management and Software Development to tailor digital processes 100% to our client´s workflows, management and operations. The nature of our work can described as two integrated phases that each brings a unique value to our client. The first phase is all about in-depth analysis of current processes, painpoints, operation dynamics and redesign of these from a digital perspective adding the technological aspects. The second phase is related to developing the actual automation software, scripts, integrations and business logic using the technologies. There is a catch though: in the second phase, the first phase is actually repeated – the closer we work with the technical development the more opportunities arise along the way, which usually allows us to optimize the processes even more than expected. How and why did it start? “The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on.” I realized this when I was 16, working a boring data entry job. At that time, I had already moved out and really had to learn how to prioritize my time. My main goal and dream was to become a professional basketball player and this repetitive, boring job was just taking away my valuable time, which I could otherwise be spending at the gym. For the first time in my life, I had too many goals but too little time. So I decided to change that. What started as a few formulas and scripts to automate my data entry, quickly turned into an app, which turned into 5 apps, and by the time I was 18 turned into my own company. I realized how small and medium-sized business owners face the same issue I was facing – too many goals, but too little time. And the solution: process automation and digital transformation. 2 years later and counting, I am running a company of process specialists, analysts, consultants, developers, and technical writers to help companies and business owners create more time for what is truly important. The journey has been awesome, but to be honest it is not all about the success. Just like I see companies as a bunch of processes, I also see life as a process – a learning process! Most importantly, this journey has brought me amazing knowledge and experience, which I would never give up for anything, and it shaped into the fearless person I am today. For me, life is about challenging yourself and learning from it – throw yourself into the deep end yet learn to survive! I will say it one more time: "The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on!" Feel free to connect and get a cool conversation started!

Hollbium - Better air, better food, better workplaces Hollbium makes indoor farming a natural part of any living and working environment for sustainable urban development and workplace well-being. We are passionate about the intersection of design, technology, and urban farming. In a strong movement for sustainable development and well-being, it is essential to contribute to sustainable urban development. Most of our population is living in urban areas with limited access to nature and fresh food. We bring micro-farms to where food is consumed and use unused wall space, for example, in your office. The Hollbium Loop combines sustainable food production with hydroponics and healthy biophilic design. Besides growing organic greens without soil, transportation or packaging, it is a multi-sensory experience (taste, light, cleaner air & scent) for increased wellbeing, comfort & creativity while stress is reduced in your team. The Loop offers early access to a new food experience that reduces emissions and waste while ensuring that harvest is unaffected by a shifting climate. We are always looking for the right people rather than the skills - get in touch!
