AI Audit
We analyse your business, department by department, to identify which processes to improve and the expected return on investment.
We start with process analysis
Because AI does not magically solve every business problem, we need to understand how work gets done in your business.
The AI Audit assesses and maps processes and skills based on real work, connecting activities, data and systems.
Because AI adoption is held back by a lack of:

AI creates value when you
analyse business processes first.
75% of companies seeing tangible value from AI have redesigned their workflows.[2]
How the audit works
We start with individual departments and give management a plan to inform their decisions.
01 · 2–3 days, on site or remotely
Interviews with your teams
We listen to people and gather information about each department’s activities, tools and challenges.
We connect the perspectives of the different people involved in a process to build a clear picture of how work gets done.
02 · Within two weeks of the interviews
Analysis and assessment
For each process, we assess impact, health and maturity to identify the right intervention. We distinguish between different types of solutions, comparing costs and expected benefits.
We recommend AI only where it delivers a real benefit.
The result is an intervention prioritisation matrix and business cases.
03 · With management
Report and roadmap
We review the final report together, process by process, to understand the overall picture and the proposed interventions.
You can implement the solutions with Abila, with your team or with other providers.
You get a 30–60–90-day roadmap.

Projects that started with an AI Audit
From process analysis to solutions, with clear priorities and quantified benefits.
Sales processes
Connected information, less repetitive work
€356,000/year
The problem. Data scattered across the ERP system, BI tools and Excel, with orders and quotes entered repeatedly.
The intervention. A hub connected to the ERP system, Smart BI that supports natural-language queries, and processing of emails and attachments to prepare quotes for approval.
Operational processes
Activities coordinated in a single workflow
€137,000/year
The problem. Jobs managed in Excel, overlooked tasks and limited visibility of workloads, materials and delays.
The intervention. A platform connecting engineering, suppliers, production and installation, with roles defined by department and AI to process drawings amended by hand.
Administrative processes
More accessible data, fewer manual tasks
€57,000/year
The problem. Four disconnected business systems, three BI tools with conflicting figures, last-minute reporting and paper-based debt collection.
The intervention. An audit of 6 areas and 22 processes, with a roadmap for an IT wiki, a business data assistant, registered-mail processing and regulatory KPIs.
The figures refer to the individual projects described. Savings identified by the audit are estimates based on each project’s circumstances, not guaranteed results for other businesses.
Funding for your AI Audit
Some funding programmes and non-repayable grants may cover part of the audit’s cost. We check which schemes are suitable for your business and project.
We identify suitable programmes, prepare applications and handle reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Interviews take 2–3 days, on site or remotely. Within two weeks of the interviews, we deliver the report and present and discuss it with management.
We speak with the people involved in each process to understand how work actually happens, scheduling interviews without bringing departmental work to a halt.
No. We look for organisational improvements first, including those that cost nothing. The report distinguishes between immediate improvements, digital solutions and applications where AI could deliver a return.
For each solution, we compare the working hours currently required, expected annual savings and estimated investment. The business case makes its assumptions explicit: ROI is an estimate to help prioritise, not a guarantee of results.
No. You can use the report to implement solutions with your team or other providers. If you wish, Abila can support you with staff training and the development of tailored AI solutions.
Both options are tailored to your business’s needs. The audit helps you decide which processes to invest in; training prepares people to assess and use AI. We can agree on which to start with.
