What kant.dev builds, with prices

Four kinds of work, usually two or three in one project, each at a fixed price after scoping. Projects range from €3.5k to €90k.

Service	Outcome	Range	Timeline
AI agents for business	Agents that read mail and documents, answer requests, and work inside your CRM and ERP.	€4.5k to €45k	2 to 10 weeks
PIM implementation and product data migration	One clean source for your product data, feeding shop, marketplaces, and print.	€15k to €90k	6 to 18 weeks
Business process automation with AI	The copying between your tools and the weekly reports, done by software.	€3.5k to €30k	2 to 8 weeks
CRM and ERP integration	Shop, CRM, and ERP that agree on every order, product, and customer.	€6k to €45k	3 to 12 weeks

Projects are fixed-fee or milestone-based once scope is clear; time-and-materials when the work is genuinely exploratory. Shorter or ongoing work runs at a day rate. We don't bid against hour estimates that ignore the hidden-cost work; the post on CRM/ERP integrations explains why.

How a project starts

Write to us. Two or three sentences about the workflow. We reply personally and suggest a short call if it helps.
Proposal. A fixed-scope plan with timeline, price, deliverables, and open assumptions.
Build & handover. We run the build, ship the system, and hand over the operating model.

Who it fits, and who it does not

A good fit:

Companies and agencies with real systems (ERP, PIM, CRM, shop) and a process that eats hours every week.
One person on your side who knows the workflow and can make decisions.
A problem you can say in one sentence, even if the solution is still open.

Not a fit:

A chatbot demo for a pitch deck, with no system behind it.
Developer hours with no defined outcome.
Rebuilding everything at once. We start with one workflow and build from there.

Agencies bring us in for the engineering inside their client projects: shop and ERP syncs, PIM migrations, AI features. You keep the client relationship and the strategy. We build, document, and hand over the system. TGOA and Digitize! have worked with us this way.
