AI Process Automation
Process automation carries recurring desk work end to end: reading incoming documents with OCR, classifying email, extracting fields from invoices and writing the result into an ERP. A first workflow is usually productive in two to four weeks.
Search work aimed at both judges: ranking in Google, and being cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Structured data, self-contained content and the technical basis for a page to be quoted rather than only found.

Technology
The technology we build on
GDPR-compliantOn-premise possibleBased in GermanySince 2020
We build on the systems small and mid-sized businesses already run — SAP and Oracle ERP, your existing CRM, WhatsApp Business — and add a modern AI layer on top: large language models such as Claude and OpenAI for reasoning and code, retrieval-augmented generation and vector search so answers come from your own documents rather than the open internet, and synthesised voice plus telephony for AI phone agents that actually take calls. Everything runs containerised on Kubernetes with PostgreSQL behind it, so a pilot scales into production without a rewrite. Every integration is GDPR-compliant, and any solution can run entirely on-premise, so your data and your customers' data never leave your own network.

Works
Work we designed, built and put into production for airlines, publishers and compliance teams. Every one of these started the same way: the software they needed did not exist off the shelf. Then we added the AI layer on top: assistants that answer from a 25-year archive, automation that clears the routine before anyone touches it.
Visibilitas
2025
Web Platform
An all-in-one visibility platform that measures both judges at once: daily Google rankings on one side, how often a brand is cited by ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini on the other, with technical audits and backlink intelligence alongside.
An open-source JIRA alternative: drag-and-drop sprint boards, epics and story points, honest burndown reporting, JIRA import, plus AI ticket drafting via Claude.
An AI chatbot trained on 25 years of kidsgo.de parenting content using RAG. Natural conversation, available 24/7, every answer cited back to its source.
A Web3 trust platform on the Camino blockchain for airlines, airports and ground handlers. Blockchain timestamps, SLA monitoring and a delay-cost calculator.
An enterprise observability platform that brings every Kubernetes cluster's alerts and dashboards into one control plane, secured with Microsoft SSO and scoped to authorized operators.
A compliance workspace for teams running AI systems. Registering and classifying a system activates the frameworks and assessments it needs, and the dashboard tracks open items by severity and reviews coming due.
Case-management software for a criminal-defence practice: digital case files with authorities, deadlines and hearings, scheduling that finds the first free slot and syncs to Outlook, and documents generated from the file.
A control desk for plenary sittings in the Landtag Niedersachsen: the order of business with every agenda item started and stopped live, so begin and end times are recorded against the running order as the chamber sits.
The backend behind the Multi Carrier Tool: it picks the carrier for each shipment on cost and on the customer’s own preferences, models packages, items and customers once, and speaks each carrier’s own format.

RIT Services was founded in 2020 in Cologne, Germany, by Matthias Wessner: on one conviction: AI shouldn't be reserved for large corporations. As Managing Director and AI Strategist, he turns AI strategy into roadmaps that hold up in day-to-day operations.
“Rasalhague”, the name in our wordmark, is the brightest star of the constellation Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Bearer. It comes from the Arabic ra’s al-ḥawwā’, “head of the serpent-bearer”: a fixed, guiding star to navigate by.
Why now
Four reasons to automate your processes now
REASON 01 / 04
One price, whatever the volume
An AI assistant works nights, weekends and public holidays without overtime. The entry package is billed at the same 500 € plus VAT per month whether it handles five calls in a day or five hundred.
No sick days
No overtime
Same price at peak
01
500 €per month, plus VAT
REASON 02 / 04
10 requests a day, or 10,000
An AI assistant answers many conversations at the same moment, so a busy Monday queues nobody. Volume changes need no reconfiguration and no additional hire.

10 → 10,000requests per day
REASON 03 / 04
Never off the clock
An AI assistant answers at midnight, on Sundays and over the holidays, at the same standard every time, so an enquiry that arrives at 22:00 is handled at 22:00.
Nights & weekends
Zero wait time
Holidays covered

24/7always answering
REASON 04 / 04
Weeks, not quarters
A first pilot is usually productive within two to four weeks, so the payback is visible before the budget for a wider rollout is committed. Scope grows after the first workflow has proved itself, not before.
Excellent consulting on the topic of AI in business. Matthias took the time to understand our initial situation and answered our questions in writing beforehand – clearly even without a technical background. For us, as a regulated company, it was particularly valuable that he proactively addressed data protection and authorization issues. The consulting was extremely competent. We can absolutely recommend RIT.

As a digital agency, we have a very clear view of who delivers and who presents. RIT Services delivers. We regularly collaborate on process automation and SEO, and both work exactly as we'd hope: concrete results early on, minimal friction, and results that translate into tangible benefits for day-to-day operations. A particularly positive aspect: they're honest when a strategy isn't working, instead of trying to sell it. Highly recommended.

Everything you need to know about working with RIT Services: what we build, how fast we move, pricing, and GDPR compliance. Can't find your answer? Just reach out.
RIT Services is an AI and software studio in Cologne, Germany. We build custom software and AI automation for small and mid-sized businesses (SMEs): AI phone agents, chatbots, process automation and web platforms. Founded in 2020, every solution is GDPR-compliant.
Yes. RIT Services GmbH is based in Cologne, Germany, and has owned requirements, architecture and delivery from there since the company was founded in 2020. A dedicated engineering team of full-stack, data, ML and DevOps developers builds alongside on the same review standards, so Cologne is where every project is directed from even though the build itself spans two locations.
RIT Services builds for businesses of every size, with particular depth in small and mid-sized companies (SMEs) — that focus is where most of our 100+ projects across 20+ industries have been, from a single AI phone agent to a full custom software build. Larger organisations work with us too, with the same published pricing and GDPR-first approach either way.
An AI phone agent answers your calls in natural German, around the clock. It books appointments, routes enquiries and handles FAQs automatically, so no customer call goes unanswered, even nights and weekends.
Projects start small and move fast: a working pilot is typically productive within two to four weeks, so you see real results in weeks, not months.
Yes. RIT Services is based in Germany and every integration is GDPR-compliant. On request, solutions run fully on-premise, so your data never leaves your own infrastructure.
Yes. Alongside AI automation, we build custom software and web platforms, from internal tools to customer-facing applications, tailored to how your business actually works.
AI phone agent packages are published: Silver is 500 € per month, Gold 2.500 € and Platinum 10.000 €, all plus VAT, with call charges capped at 0,40 € per minute. Chatbots, process automation and custom software are quoted per project, because scope rather than seat count drives the price. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation that ends in a written plan and quote.
We have delivered 100+ projects across 20+ industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, real estate, professional services, trades, and legal and tax advisory.
Yes. We build on the systems small and mid-sized businesses already run, SAP and Oracle ERP, WhatsApp Business and your existing CRM, and layer modern AI such as GPT-4, RAG and OCR on top.
An AI phone agent earns its keep on repetitive, structured calls: appointments, opening hours, order status and routing to the right person. Two situations make it the wrong purchase. First, low call volume, because the entry package costs 500 € plus VAT every month whether it answers five calls or five hundred. Second, conversations that are mostly negotiation, distress or regulated advice, which belong with a person who can be held responsible for the answer. RIT Services says so during the free consultation rather than sell a package that cannot pay for itself.
A human answering service handles unpredictable conversations well and is usually billed per call or per minute, so the cost follows the volume. An AI phone agent costs a fixed 500 to 10.000 € plus VAT per month regardless of volume, answers many calls at the same moment without a queue, runs nights and weekends, and writes the result straight into a CRM or calendar. The rough rule: unpredictable and low volume favours the human service, repetitive and high volume favours the agent. Plenty of businesses run both and let the agent take overflow and out-of-hours traffic.
Often yes, but not always, and the answer depends on whether standard software already fits. RIT Services quotes custom development per project after a free 30-minute consultation, and publishes fixed monthly pricing only for the AI phone agent, from 500 € plus VAT. Where an off-the-shelf tool would cover the process, we say so in that consultation. Custom software is worth building when the process is a genuine competitive difference, or when the workarounds around standard software already cost more staff time than the build would.
