Ter Doest Beveiliging · Security installation and maintenance · Netherlands

Ter Doest Beveiliging

The business

Ter Doest Beveiliging provides security installation and maintenance.

What I built

I connected service messages, installation details and the work order environment. The planner checks urgency, security requirements and the proposed schedule.

Technicians sometimes used to start by making calls. Now they have the full story with them. Joost mainly removed the hassle before the job.

De Interieurmeesters · Interior design and fitting · Netherlands

De Interieurmeesters

The business

De Interieurmeesters provides interior design and fitting.

What I built

I brought design notes, materials, planning and customer agreements together. The project lead checks choices, prices and the installation brief.

Joost quickly saw that our gain was not in drawing faster, but in fewer misunderstandings between the office and the workshop. We notice that every day.

Zoon Hovenier · Landscaping · Netherlands

Zoon Hovenier

The business

Zoon Hovenier provides garden design and maintenance.

What I built

I connected enquiries and photos to survey preparation, quotations and draft project content. The owner checks measurements, costs and what is published.

I want to be outside with customers, not working through enquiries in the evening. Tamboer AI prepares the groundwork and I still decide on the quote.

WerkGeluk Recruitment · Recruitment · Netherlands

WerkGeluk Recruitment

The business

WerkGeluk Recruitment provides recruitment.

What I built

I organised candidate information and prepared summaries and follow-up. Recruiters judge suitability and approve contact; AI does not make hiring decisions.

The system does not judge people for us. It makes sure we are better prepared for the conversation. Joost made that distinction clear from the start.

Tandtechnisch Laboratorium Beijn · Dental technology · Netherlands

Tandtechnisch Laboratorium Beijn

The business

Tandtechnisch Laboratorium Beijn provides dental laboratory services.

What I built

I connected orders, scans and technical instructions into preparation for the lab. The technician checks completeness and technical decisions before production.

We sometimes only discovered missing information during planning. Now we get the signal in advance. Tamboer AI deliberately stays away from medical judgement.

BON Catering · Catering · Netherlands

BON Catering

The business

BON Catering provides business catering.

What I built

I connected the enquiry to menus, capacity, pricing and supplier information. Staff check the proposal before sending it and approving the plan.

An enquiry for a hundred guests at four in the afternoon used to mean a long evening. Now the basics are ready in minutes and I only check what needs attention.

Technische Handelsonderneming Dikken · Parts wholesale · Netherlands

Technische Handelsonderneming Dikken

The business

Technische Handelsonderneming Dikken provides technical wholesale.

What I built

I connected product information and customer questions to a proposed part and alternative. Staff verify compatibility, stock and price before replying.

I no longer have to go through five sources before answering a customer. Tamboer AI prepares the product, alternative and explanation. I do the technical check.

Team for Logistics · Transport and logistics · Netherlands

Team for Logistics

The business

Team for Logistics provides logistics and urgent shipments.

What I built

I prepared shipment details and missing-information checks from email chains. A planner checks the transport file, commitments and next steps.

When it is urgent, you do not want to waste time searching an email chain. Joost made sure we can immediately see what is complete and where a forwarder needs to take over.

FysioKlein · Physiotherapy · Netherlands

FysioKlein

The business

FysioKlein provides physiotherapy.

What I built

I prepared appointment administration and follow-up. Staff approve communications; clinical judgement remains with the practitioner.

Joost drew exactly the right boundary: the practical preparation continues, but Tamboer AI does not get involved in diagnosis or treatment.

J&J Techniek · Heating and air-conditioning service · Netherlands

J&J Techniek

The business

J&J Techniek provides installation and maintenance services.

What I built

I structured fault reports and prepared work orders with known equipment and customer details. A planner checks urgency and assigns the work.

Our technicians noticed it first. They now receive the brand, error code, photos and appointment all at once. Tamboer AI removes the back-and-forth calls from the working day.

Event My Brand · Events · Netherlands

Event My Brand

The business

Event My Brand provides business events.

What I built

I connected the creative brief, supplier agreements and planning. The project lead approves budgets, commitments and delivery details.

When a customer changes something, you do not want to check three documents. Joost connected the brief, suppliers and run sheet so we have time for creative work again.

AAMB Administratie · Accounting · Netherlands

AAMB Administratie

The business

AAMB Administratie provides accounting and payroll services.

What I built

I organised incoming documents and marked missing pieces before review. Staff check the records and approve follow-up.

We kept hearing the same question: what is still missing? Tamboer AI makes that visible in advance. We open a complete file and retain professional control.

Kleizen Interieurs · Custom production · Netherlands

Kleizen Interieurs

The business

Kleizen Interieurs provides custom interiors and furniture.

What I built

I connected customer requirements to materials, quotes and workshop preparation. Staff check measurements, quantities and the price.

The customer no longer has to explain their choices three times. Joost created one route from the first photo to the workshop without forcing our custom work into a standard template.

Van den Bosch en Fikkert · Packaging production · Netherlands

Van den Bosch en Fikkert

The business

Van den Bosch en Fikkert provides printing and packaging.

What I built

I prepared enquiries with board type, production specifications and missing details. Staff check technical feasibility and approve the proposal.

You want to see a specification error before the print run. Tamboer AI gets the enquiry organised sooner, so sales and production need less back-and-forth.

Horvers Elektrotechnische Groothandel

The business

Horvers Elektrotechnische Groothandel provides electrical wholesale.

What I built

I connected customer descriptions with product information and proposed alternatives. Staff check suitability, stock and pricing.

Every open product enquiry used to start from scratch. Joost made our stock and product knowledge usable, while our specialist still decides what is technically suitable.

Onderneem Consultancy · Business consultancy · Netherlands

Onderneem Consultancy

The business

Onderneem Consultancy provides business consulting.

What I built

I connected meeting input, company context and research to draft recommendations. The consultant checks sources and makes the final judgement.

I did not want AI to think for the business owner. Joost built the opposite: better preparation, clearer open questions and my judgement where it belongs.

IDOS Administratie

The business

IDOS Administratie provides accounting and administration.

What I built

I prepared incoming records, detected missing documents and drafted follow-up. Staff review exceptions and complete the administration.

At the end of the month, our gain was in the preparation. We spend less time gathering documents and have more time to help our clients.

Mark's Party en Catering

The business

Mark's Party en Catering provides party and event catering.

What I built

I connected enquiries, rental options and planning to draft quotes. Staff check availability, quantities and terms before sending.

Joost did not automate away the custom work. He removed the research around it. That means we can say yes to a good enquiry sooner.

Other workflow examples and experience

These earlier examples illustrate other applications. They are separate from the organisations and the total above.

What that looks like

Five examples of AI at work

One situation, what AI prepares, what you decide and what you gain.

01 / Client case, Shutter business, Utrecht region

A business powered by AI. An owner fitting shutters.

The situation

The owner handled enquiries, quotes, scheduling and administration himself. He answered messages between installations and spent his evenings catching up on office work.

What I built

I made the business AI-first: enquiries, quotes, scheduling and follow-up work together in one AI Operating System. Customer details and next actions are ready. The owner checks decisions and focuses on customers and installations.

  1. Enquiry
  2. Quote
  3. Schedule
  4. Follow-up

What it delivered

Profit increased by 25%. The daily administration fits around his working day, freeing his attention for customers and fitting shutters.

I am back to focusing on customers and fitting shutters. The admin no longer takes over my day.

Owner, shutter business in the Utrecht region

02 / Client case, Administration, document processing team

From copying documents to a new client project

The situation

An employee read incoming documents, copied information and chased missing items. Preparing files left little time for substantive work.

What I built

I built a workflow that reads documents, checks information against a checklist and prepares a file. Sources and open questions are together. The employee reviews the content and exceptions.

  1. Documents
  2. Checklist
  3. File
  4. Review

What it delivered

The employee has time for work that adds value. That capacity has enabled a new project, which is already attracting new customers.

The files are ready. That finally gave me room to start the project that had been waiting for so long.

Employee, document processing

03 / Client case, Marketing and customer contact, business with a TikTok channel

More posts. More followers. New customers.

The situation

There were plenty of customer stories, but creating posts came after everything else. Marketing kept slipping and the business was visible only occasionally.

What I built

I automated marketing preparation. A customer story becomes a post or video script in the business's voice. The team checks the content and publishes more often, with more time for marketing itself.

  1. Customer story
  2. Script
  3. Publication
  4. Customer contact

What it delivered

The TikTok account gained 5,000 followers in one month. The team could post much more often. That larger audience also brought in customers.

Our marketing finally has a rhythm. We post more often and it brings us customers too.

04 / 09

Six more workflows I have built

Everyday tasks hold opportunities too. Each case shows the problem I solved and what the team gained.

04 / Client case, Sales, team following up quotes

Quotes get a follow-up

Open proposals and customer questions were scattered. I brought them together with a suitable follow-up message for each enquiry.

Sales

Fewer missed sales opportunities

The team sees who is waiting for a reply and follows up quotes with more focus.

I can see straight away which quote needs attention. Following up feels much more manageable.

Sales lead

05 / Client case, Margin, owner preparing estimates

Missing costs become visible

Old quotes were the starting point. I built a check that compares enquiries with materials, hours and agreements, flagging missing items.

Profit

A clearer view of margin

The owner prepares more complete estimates and leaves less additional work out of quotes.

I spot missing costs earlier. That gives me more confidence in the quotes I send.

Owner, responsible for estimates

06 / Client case, Management, team with separate reports

One overview for the weekly meeting

Sales, capacity and actions lived in separate files. My workflow collects the figures and prepares exceptions and talking points.

Time

Less time building reports

Managers see where action is needed sooner and have time to act.

We spend our weekly meeting on decisions, instead of first trying to piece the figures together.

Manager, operations team

07 / Client case, Knowledge, team onboarding colleagues

Answers without interrupting a colleague

Instructions were scattered across documents and chats. I built an internal assistant that finds the right source and includes it with the answer.

Capacity

Independent sooner

New colleagues find their answers. Experienced employees face fewer interruptions.

New colleagues find their own answers. I can finish more of my work without interruptions.

Experienced employee, team contact

08 / Client case, Scheduling, team visiting customers

A working day with less driving

The planner compared locations, availability and skills manually. My workflow prepares a proposal and highlights conflicts.

Capacity

More room for customer visits

Less travel and better capacity use make room for additional jobs.

I see the conflicts before confirming appointments. Planning feels much more manageable.

Planner, field team

09 / Client case, Customer advice, advisers with recurring meetings

The customer story is already there

Every meeting started with another search. I built a workflow that brings together agreements, open questions and documents for the adviser.

Time

More attention for the customer

Preparation takes less searching. The conversation moves sooner to advice and the next step.

I no longer start a meeting by searching. The relevant agreements are already in front of me.

Customer adviser

Experience from my employment

A standard check from around 30 minutes to under 2 minutes

At one of the largest banks in the Netherlands, I worked with a colleague on an AI workflow for a recurring check. For straightforward standard cases, we reported the times below, including validation by the employee.

Time per simple standard check, including validation
Before~30 min
Now<2 min
~30 minreported time before
<2 minincluding employee validation
Standardstraightforward cases only

This is reported practical experience from my employment. Complex and exceptional cases are outside this comparison. The underlying measurement document is not available here for independent verification. For your process, I start with a separate baseline.

Inside the workflow

Every enquiry gets a clear next step

Complete requests move forward. An unverified agreement goes to the responsible person. AI prepares the work; your team decides.

DraftAsk for the mandatory details and do not promise a visit time.
CheckCustomer status known, details still incomplete.
DecisionEmployee checks and calls.

What fits your business?

Can you also help us choose the right AI tools?

Yes. I have used and tested the tools and know what fits your organisation. My plan names the AI programs, agents, workflows and prompts, and explains how your team will use them.

What can we achieve with AI?

That depends on your process. We look at preparation time, the checks needed and the additional costs. A baseline and a trial help you decide whether building is worthwhile.
