Experience from
Analysts are too expensive for copy-paste.
Three patterns we see again and again:
Routine consumes analyst time
Building longlists, sifting teasers, updating the CRM, formatting reports: deal teams spend hours every week on work that requires no judgment. Exactly this work can now be automated reliably.
AI potential stays unquantified
Every vendor promises transformation. What is missing is a credible answer to two questions: Which processes are actually worth it? And what does implementation cost? Without numbers, there is no decision.
Confidentiality rules out standard tools
Deal data, NDAs and portfolio figures do not belong in consumer tools with unclear data flows. Without a GDPR-compliant architecture, automation in your firm stays blocked, and rightly so.
Three stages. One system.
Each stage delivers a standalone result.You decide after each stage whether to continue.
AI Readiness Audit
The defined entry point: in one to two weeks you know which processes are worth automating, what implementation costs and where to start. Fixed fee, clear result.
View in detailImplementation & Integration

Managed Operations & Enablement
Monitoring, maintenance and continuous improvement of your systems, plus enablement for your team. Cancel monthly: the engagement earns its keep through results, not contract terms.

About Vectis
Vectis Software is an AI and automation consultancy based in Trier, Germany. We build systems for private equity funds and buy-side M&A teams for whom confidentiality and precision are non-negotiable.
I have worked in strategy consulting at Roland Berger, in risk management at KPMG, in product strategy at BMW and in M&A at Loy & Co Corporate Finance. At Vectis, I combine that experience with deep, hands-on AI expertise: I analyze, build and operate the systems myself.
"Vectis" is Latin for "lever": small input, large effect. This principle governs every project. We look for the point where automation makes the biggest difference in your firm, and start exactly there.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of companies does Vectis work with?
Vectis works with private equity funds and buy-side M&A teams in the German-speaking region and Luxembourg. What matters is less the legal form than the day-to-day: building deal flow, screening and examining targets, reporting on portfolio companies, with small teams, short decision paths and high confidentiality standards.
Which processes in M&A and private equity can be automated?
Typical candidates: market screens and longlists, owner research and outreach preparation, data room review in due diligence, CRM and pipeline upkeep, portfolio reporting and IC materials. The AI Readiness Audit quantifies what is worth automating in your firm.
What does working with Vectis cost?
Vectis does not bill by the hour. The AI Readiness Audit has a fixed fee, which we name in the discovery call. For implementation you receive three proposal options with fixed fees, priced against the value of the automation identified. Before every stage, you know exactly what it costs.
Is AI automation possible in a GDPR-compliant way?
Yes. Architecture and vendor choice are decisive: processing within the EU, data processing agreements with every provider, data minimization and clear deletion policies. Vectis designs every system GDPR-native from the start and documents all data flows transparently.
How long does an AI project take from analysis to implementation?
The AI Readiness Audit takes one to two weeks, implementation of the prioritized systems two to six weeks. Most projects are live in under two months. After that, managed operations takes over if you wish, cancellable monthly.
What is an AI Readiness Audit?
A structured examination of your processes over one to two weeks. The result: which processes are worth automating, what implementation costs and in which order it makes sense. With report, roadmap and a fixed-fee proposal as your decision basis.
Do you work remotely or on site?
Both. On-site meetings are available at short notice in Trier, Luxembourg, Munich and Paris, and beyond on request. Ongoing collaboration works fully remotely, with fixed availability and a weekly check-in.
The first step is a conversation.
In a discovery call we clarify your starting point, candidate processes and whether a collaboration fits.30 minutes, no obligation.
