We get you launch-ready.

Who we are

We are 2AM Connect: computer scientists and business professionals with corporate experience from Düsseldorf and the Ruhr area.We bring your processes into ERP, build AI agents that work inside them and websites that bring in enquiries: compliant in the EU, not just in a demo video.

What we build

Four areas that interlock: your ERP as the backbone, AI agents as the turbo inside it, websites for how you show up and an IT infrastructure you can rely on.

01The backbone

ERP & processes

Process analysis, ERP implementation (Odoo as our standard), automation and integrations: your workflows run in one system instead of Excel, paper and email.

Odoo as standard, other ERPs on request

  • CRM
  • Sales
  • Purchasing
  • Inventory
  • Accounting
  • Projects

02The turbo

AI agents

Agents that work inside your ERP processes: receipts, enquiries, knowledge. Planned around the GDPR and the EU AI Act.

04The foundation

IT infrastructure

Cloud, workstations, security and backup that simply run: cleanly documented and GDPR compliant.

All services at a glance

You do good work. Your workflows slow you down.

Day to day, a lot still runs on Excel, paper and shouting across the office. It costs time every day, and AI is often tried out without checking whether it is even allowed. Usually it breaks down in the same four places.

  • Too much manual work

    Enquiries, quotes, receipts and invoices run via Excel, paper and email. It costs hours every day that are missing elsewhere.

  • Systems that don't connect

    Accounting, CRM, shop and spreadsheets are not connected. Data is maintained twice, and errors creep in at every hand-over.

  • AI without legal clarity

    AI demos everywhere, but hardly anyone asks whether GDPR and the EU AI Act are met. In your own business that quickly becomes a risk.

  • A website without enquiries

    The site is outdated, slow or hard to find on Google and in AI search. Instead of bringing in customers, it gets in the way.

Why 2AM

Plenty looks impressive online. Whether it is allowed in your own business is another question. We plan every AI agent around the GDPR and the EU AI Act from day one, not only when someone asks.

Computer scientists, not a prompt course

We come from computer science, AI security and corporate IT, and know AI from the technical and the legal side.

Not legal advice: where needed, we coordinate with your data protection officer.

FAQ

The most common questions about cost, timing, ERP and AI, answered honestly.

What does it cost?

Our entry prices are listed on the services page. What a specific project costs depends on scope. For clearly defined tasks we give you a binding fixed price. For larger digitalisation and ERP projects we prefer honest effort estimates over fixed prices that don't hold up in the end. We tell you upfront what to expect.

How long does it take?

Smaller projects are often live within days, larger ones take a few weeks to months. After the analysis we give you an honest estimate, not wishful thinking. If the work turns out to be bigger than expected, we tell you early, not at the end.

Do we have to use Odoo?

No. Odoo is our standard because it is modular and affordable. If you already use another ERP, we connect it or tell you honestly whether switching is worth it.

Do the AI agents work with our ERP?

Yes, that is our focus. Agents read and write directly into your ERP via interfaces, for example Odoo: capture incoming invoices, prepare quotes, route enquiries. You approve important steps before anything is booked or sent.

Is AI even allowed in our business?

In most cases yes, if it is set up properly. Before we build, we clarify which data is processed, how the use case is classified under the EU AI Act and which transparency and documentation duties apply. On top come data processing agreements, hosting in the EU or on your servers and clear approvals by your team. This does not replace legal advice; where needed we coordinate with your data protection officer.

What happens with my data?

Your data stays in the EU: on German servers or, for AI applications, with EU providers under a data processing agreement or on your own servers. Everything GDPR compliant and transparently documented.

Where are you based, and do you come on site?

We are at home in Düsseldorf and Mülheim an der Ruhr and are happy to visit in person across NRW, the Ruhr area and Münsterland. A lot can also be handled by phone or video call.

Does AI actually help me?

Not everywhere, and we tell you so honestly. Where AI does not make sense we advise against it. Where it saves time or drives revenue, we deploy it in a targeted way.

What if the project takes longer than planned?

We talk to you first. We don't quietly decide the project costs more, we check in with you before continuing. Better an open conversation than a nasty surprise at the end.

Am I locked in long-term?

Not for one-off projects: you pay once and the solution is yours. Ongoing support is booked only as long as it adds value. The website subscription has a fair minimum term because we pre-finance setup and content. How long that is and what happens if you want to stop earlier, we discuss openly before any contract.
