About Nine Minds

We built Nine Minds because we kept seeing the same problem.

01 · The pattern

Every operation has the same pattern: skilled people spending hours on work that shouldn't require a person. Orders re-typed. Invoices checked by hand. Data entered twice across three systems. The problem isn't the people — it's that the tools available to companies with 10 to 50 employees have never been good enough to solve it. Until now.

02 · The approach

Nine Minds is built on operations research and industrial engineering — the disciplines that exist to find and eliminate waste in any operation, regardless of sector. We've applied this thinking across manufacturing, logistics, supply chain and technology, in multiple countries. The patterns are the same everywhere. AI now lets us build the solution fast and affordably — in weeks, not months.

03 · Where we work

We're based in the Netherlands, work in Dutch and English, and everything we build stays in the EU.

How we work

Three things we hold to. Always.

01Method

Operational, not theoretical

Operations research means we see inefficiency fast — in any sector, in any operation. We don't need a month to find the problem.

02Stance

Direct & honest

We tell you what we can solve, what we can't, and what it costs. Before we start.

03Pace

Results in weeks

A working solution this month. Not a plan for next year.

Founder · Operations & AI

Background in operations, technology, digitalisation and product across startups, scale-ups and enterprises in multiple countries and industries. Built Nine Minds to close the gap between what SMEs need and what's actually available to them.

"The patterns are the same everywhere. The difference is whether someone shows up who recognises them in a week instead of six months."

Digitalisation
Scan.

Many SME owners know time is being lost — but not exactly where. In a short scan, we map together: your goals, your biggest bottleneck, and whether digitalisation can close the gap.

What you walk away with
  • 01Your goals for the next 12 months — clarified.
  • 02The biggest bottleneck in your daily flow — named.
  • 03Whether digitalisation can close the gap — and how.
No sales pitch. If we build something that doesn't work — you don't pay.
