The AI Use-Case Sprint is a structured, multi-stage process that reduces a long list of AI ideas to a small set of
truly useful and feasible use cases. It is not a single workshop, but a series of joint sessions carried out
together with your employees and external experts.
These experts bring industrial experience and AI experience and work with a strictly neutral perspective, independent of specific vendors and tools. In each stage, ideas are assessed objectively: relevance, data availability, technical feasibility, and expected benefit. The result is a short list of clearly defined use cases with concrete next steps and a simple, transparent project plan that can be implemented immediately. Individual workshops are also possible if a focused format is needed.

Free up cash quickly. Not only in uncertain times, one thing matters most: securing cashs. The Data-Driven Net Working Capital Optimization program helps companies free up tied cash quickly by analyzing what’s already in their systems. The pragmatic path lies in your ERP transaction data. Mach X applies the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) to map real document flows and time intervals across customers, materials, and suppliers, making hidden cash, tied up in operations, visible. As long as timestamps and payment records are available, the approach is transparent, data-driven, and delivers results within weeks, not months - perfectly suited for mid-sized industrial organizations.

In many procurement organizations, crucial technical specifications - such as drawings, BOMs, R&D documents, or certificates remain outside ERP systems. Procurement negotiates on prices, but without true spec-level transparency, key levers like standardization, parametric pricing, or eAuctions remain underutilized. With the Spec-to-Savings Kit, we extract and harmonize technical features from your documents into a structured database and derive concrete saving opportunities (for example through standardization, parametric should-costing, or supplier consolidation). Results are typically achieved in weeks, not months.

A complex product portfolio costs money and slows down innovation speed. Many companies feel this but struggle to decide how and where to simplify without losing market share. The Portfolio Streamlining Kit provides a data- and competition-driven approach to realign product portfolios: revealing where to reduce variants, where to protect existing revenue, and where to capture new market opportunities and how to create capacity for faster innovation.
