Finding where something is kept
in folders, emails and people’s heads
Time for your craft
More time for the work where you make a difference.
We take routine tasks out of your processes. Together with your people, so they have more time for the work they do best.
Where does your time go?Technology with a clear purpose.
Organisations we work with
The question
Where does your business make a difference?
Your customers choose you for your craftsmanship, your understanding of the job and the way you deliver.
The friction
And how much of the week actually goes into that?
Work with your people to see where the time goes.
Entering the same information again
in a second system
Calling around for an update
because no one has the full picture
Updating a list someone else keeps too
each a little different
Necessary work, but not where you make a difference.
Where the time goes
Routine tasks take up more time than anyone wants.
The aim is to remove unnecessary steps from the process for good. Making the change takes time at first. We are clear about that from the start.
Today
What we aim for
For illustration. The balance differs from one business to another.
No blame
It is not carelessness. It grew that way.
Someone once created a spreadsheet because it was needed, and it stayed. No one has ever looked at the process as a whole.
We tackle that routine work, so the balance can shift.How we help
Three ways to make the same work run better.
We build when it is needed. And we say so when it is not.
Understand and organise
We look at how work actually happens, what can go and what needs to change. On larger projects, we lead the project and the process work.
Build, ourselves or together
Custom software where standard software does not fit. Better use of existing tools where it does. Connections between systems where people now retype information.
Train
We train people in the new way of working, using real tasks from their process. We document what they need, in their own words. So it keeps working without us.
Tasks, not jobs.
We look at tasks that keep people from their skilled work. The aim is not to automate people out of a job.
Technology with a clear purpose.
A system, integration or custom solution only becomes relevant when it removes a specific task, makes it simpler or makes it more reliable.
What it brings
Time back. And people who can get on with their own work again.
Your people did not choose their profession to chase status updates.
Less coordination leaves room for the customers and jobs that make their work interesting.
An initial check
In hours and tasks, not money.
How much time do these tasks take your team? Enter your own figures.
Where we work
From family businesses to multinationals.
Nohou works where information, processes and technology meet. Always alongside the people doing the work every day.
how can we make it simpler?
ManufacturingThe right information at the workbench.
Job preparation, drawings and production work together. Less searching, less retyping.
LogisticsKnowing the status of a request or delivery.
Planning and operations use the same information. People can check progress without calling around.
Back officeRecord it once. Work from it together.
Information follows the work from enquiry to administration. No separate lists that constantly need updating.
International productionOne way of working that works locally too.
We design processes, test and train with the people on site. Always grounded in their day-to-day work.
Together with your people
Set it up together. Learn through real work.
The people doing the work know where it gets stuck. That is why we train using real tasks from the process and document how it works in their own words.
When we leave, it belongs to them.
Who you will meet
These are the people you will work with.

Pricing and approach
First, understand the work. Then agree on what is needed.
We do not quote a package price before we understand the work. You receive a clearly scoped proposal upfront: what we will do, who will be involved and what it will cost.
