The Challenge

Three Walls Blocking Management

Most SME management is blocked by three walls: visibility, key-person dependency, and intuition. Until you break through them, the numbers won't move.

The Visibility Wall

Numbers are scattered across departments, so you can't see the full picture in real time. You have to wait for the monthly close to learn what's happening now.

You can't see what's happening while you wait for the close

With HELM-AIP, the whole company's P/L is unified in real time

The Key-Person Wall

Understanding of the profit structure lives only in a few people's heads. When they leave, the improvement know-how leaves with them.

When a key person leaves, the know-how leaves with them

With HELM-AIP, knowledge accumulates in the AI, ending key-person dependency

The Intuition Wall

Critical decisions rely on experience and gut feel. You can't validate the impact of a move in advance — you only find out by trying it.

You act without testing, and learn the result afterward

With HELM-AIP, scientific, data-driven decisions become possible

Data Architecture

Scattered Data Becomes Management That Moves.

HELM-AIP unifies numbers scattered across tools into one. AI decides, and AI agents built for your company carry it through — end to end.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often about HELM-AIP.

What is HELM-AIP?
HELM-AIP is an AI management platform that visualizes SME management with AI and moves your P/L. It unifies scattered management data, lets AI pinpoint profit bottlenecks, and supports everything from proposing improvements to executing them.
Can small and mid-sized businesses adopt AI management?
Yes. HELM-AIP is designed for SME management. Even without specialized data-analysis knowledge, AI reads the numbers for you and surfaces improvement points. You can start with low-cost software, so no large upfront investment is required.
How is it different from BI tools and dashboards?
BI tools mostly stop at visualizing the numbers. HELM-AIP adds AI-proposed improvements and AI agents that execute upon approval. On top of that, an FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) works right next to the leader, so it doesn't end at just looking.
Which industries do you support?
We have industry templates for SaaS, e-commerce, and manufacturing retail. For industries not listed, we design the structure individually after interviewing you about your business, so a wide range of industries can be supported.
How much does it cost?
It's a hybrid model combining a low-cost software fee with a performance fee linked to results. We'll propose specific figures based on your business size and the scope of our hands-on support, so please start with a free consultation.
How long does implementation take?
It varies with the number of data connections and the complexity of your organization and business model, but we typically expect around two weeks.
What are the contract terms and cancellation conditions?
The minimum contract period is 6 months. Because it takes time from onboarding to producing results, we ask for contracts in 6-month units. We'll explain the details when you reach out.
What about security and governance?
We address security and governance in three ways: 1. Audit logs — logins, approvals, rejections and modifications of AI proposals, executions, setting changes, external integrations, and data imports are recorded, each with a hash for tamper detection 2. Access control — role-based permissions and logical separation of data by organization 3. Protected communication — encrypted communication over HTTPS/TLS Because it stays on record who approved what and when, and what the AI proposed, the platform supports internal controls and accountability.
Where is our data stored?
Your data is stored in the cloud. HELM-AIP runs on Vercel and Supabase cloud infrastructure, and communication is encrypted with HTTPS/TLS. At-rest encryption follows the mechanisms provided by these cloud platforms. Data is logically separated by organization, so no organization can access another's data. Passwords are stored as hashes. If you have stricter requirements, please raise them when you contact us and we can discuss the configuration.
