Building services, lighting, security systems, freight forwarding
I worked in building services, lighting and security systems, freight forwarding and other projects. My tasks were mainly sales, technical preparation, design, pricing and installation.
Bottlenecks and pain points in how companies work
In several places I ran into the same problems:
- Piles of paper, few digital or automated processes.
- “Roughly” and “about”: exact data was not recorded for many things.
- Outdated and slow office tools.
- Extra tasks outside the job role that an agent could even do.
What could be built here?
The first thing I did was build a selection program and make websites. Wherever I saw a mistake, slow information flow, or an error in a database, my mind immediately started working: what could be built here, how could the workflow be made more dynamic.
I don’t like wasting time. Let things move, and I don’t like working for nothing either.
No need to think big
Selection program: for a preparation engineer it takes hours, with the program it takes 20 minutes.
Onboarding: it’s enough to look at what happens when a new employee arrives. In 10 minutes I build a program: we enter the new employee’s data, set 2–3 things (for example salary and working hours), and as a result we get everything, from the employment contract to the occupational health papers.
Even a plain chat is enough to start
Software, agents, but even using a plain chat to start with can speed up work significantly, if we know how to use the given model. I wrote a separate article about that.
Back to the Hungarian market
My path will certainly lead back to the Hungarian market, and I am planning to settle in. The more companies and workflows I see, the bigger the database I build up in my head.
I think in the future, which isn’t that far away, all of this will be like speaking English. Today’s knowledge will be a joke in a year. You have to stay up to date.
Where to start in your company?
- Look at onboardingWhat happens when a new employee arrives? There is often a lot of manual work and paper here.
- Look for paper and copyingWherever you copy data by hand from one place to another, you can automate.
- Start with a plain chatEven this can speed things up significantly, if you know how to use the given model.
What to watch out for
- Staying up to date: AI changes fast. What is knowledge today will be basic in a year.
- Data: if you don’t record exact data, there is nothing to build on. “Roughly” is not enough.
- Documents: an employment contract and occupational health papers are legal documents, so it is worth having the finished material checked by a professional.
Frequently asked questions
What areas have you worked in?
Building services, lighting and security systems, freight forwarding and other projects, mainly in sales, technical preparation, design, pricing and installation.
What problems do you see in how companies work?
Piles of paper, few digital or automated processes, inexact (“roughly”) data, outdated and slow office tools, and extra tasks outside the job role.
How long does it take to automate a process?
With a selection program, a preparation engineer’s hours can be cut to 20 minutes. For onboarding I build a program in 10 minutes that puts everything together, from the employment contract to the occupational health papers.
Do you need a big project to bring in AI?
No. It is enough to look at what happens, for example, when a new employee joins, and even a plain chat to start with can speed up work significantly.
Why do you have to stay up to date?
I think today’s knowledge will be a joke in a year, and using AI will be as basic as speaking English. You have to stay up to date.
