Sannabrink Send a problem

The boring problems in your business are finally fixable.

Because nobody went into business to push paper and babysit spreadsheets. Hand me the job that eats your week. Within days, something else does it for you.

Send me the problem See what I’ve built

Jan Sannabrink. You deal directly with the person who builds it.

Jobs nobody ever gets round to fixing

How many of these happen in your business?

None of these is a crisis. Leave one for another 90 days, though, and it keeps costing you: hours, money, one bad mistake or a customer’s trust. I can take every one of them off your desk.

Describe yours

Time “We can’t keep up.”
  • Someone copies the same numbers from one system into another.
  • The information you need lives in five different places.
  • A report takes half a day to put together, every time.
Money “We’re leaking money.”
  • Enquiries go cold because nobody followed up in time.
  • Invoices go out late because the paperwork isn’t back yet.
Risk “One mistake could cost us.”
  • There’s a spreadsheet only one person really understands.
  • Things get checked twice because once went wrong.
  • Planning happens in one person’s head.
Reputation “Customers notice.”
  • Customers wait a day for an answer that’s the same every time.
  • Customers chase you for updates you meant to send.

Software used to be too slow for small problems

Custom software used to take months and a large budget. Small problems were never worth it.

Now I can build a first working version in days. So now they are.

same problem, different decade

You don’t need AI.
You need fewer problems.

Different businesses. Same pattern.

Fence manufacturer

Delivery dates that update themselves

before
Orders came in by email and were typed into the planning sheet. Every morning began with working out delivery dates by hand.
now
Orders go straight into the forecast. The delivery dates are already there when the day starts.
  1. Read the order
  2. Add it to the forecast
  3. Update every date

First version under 72 hours

Staffing agency

New leads, found by their own rules

before
A recruiter searched for companies by hand, checked each one against the agency’s criteria and copied the good ones into a list. That time went to searching, not placing people.
now
The finder searches, applies the same criteria and fills the list itself. The recruiter starts the day with the calls.
  1. Search for companies
  2. Apply their criteria
  3. Fill the list

First version under 48 hours

Healthcare software team

Every problem report in one place, already sorted

before
Problem reports came in by email, in chat and in passing. Some were reported twice, some were forgotten.
now
Every report goes to one board, sent from a phone in seconds with a screenshot. Each one keeps a status until it is fixed and tested.
  1. Report it from the phone
  2. Sort by app and urgency
  3. Track it until it’s tested

First version 1 day

Health

An app, from idea to the App Store

before
The app existed as a written idea. The usual way there meant an agency, months of work and a budget to match.
now
It went from that idea to a published app, one working version at a time.
  1. Write down the idea
  2. Build a working version
  3. Publish it in the App Store

First version under 2 weeks

Content production

Long recordings in, finished clips out

before
Every short clip started with someone watching the whole recording, marking the moments and cutting each one by hand.
now
Long recordings go in, and vertical clips with subtitles come out. Nobody scrubs through footage any more.
  1. Find the strongest moments
  2. Cut them to vertical
  3. Add the subtitles

First version under 1 week

Real estate

Private sellers, found first

before
Owners who sell without an agent advertise in many places. Finding them meant checking one source after another by hand, and the first agent to call has the best chance.
now
The finder searches several sources every day and lists new private sellers in the agent’s area. The agent calls first.
  1. Search several sources
  2. Keep the private sellers in the area
  3. Hand over a daily list

First version under 48 hours

None of them set out to “do AI”. They picked one annoying thing and had it built.

What’s yours?

One problem. One working thing. Then you decide.

  1. You send two or three sentences.

    Takes five minutes. No brief, no specification.

    “Every morning someone types orders from emails into our spreadsheet.”

  2. I build a first working version.

    Usually within days. Something you can click, not a slide.

    Orders land in the spreadsheet on their own.

  3. You try it with real work.

    Keep it, change it or drop it. Your call.

    A week of real orders. Keep.

Does it work with what we use?
Usually, yes. Excel, Outlook, your accounts or your order system: I don’t replace them. I build the piece that’s missing between them.

What you won’t get: a big project, a sales pitch or anything you can’t walk away from.

Start with one problem

I’m Jan.
I build things.

I’m a problem-solver at heart. It still amazes me what’s possible today: a working fix in days, not months. No problem is too big, and no job too boring.

– Jan

Right. Let’s sort this one out.

Tell me what keeps happening by hand. Two or three sentences are enough. I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth building.
