CEDERUSAI

Fix the work behind the work.

A connected operating system for operations, engineering, service, and growing business teams. We start with how work actually happens, not with technology.

scattered inputs, one stream
001

A connected operating system for the work your business runs on.

CederusAI redesigns the workflows your business depends on, clarifies how work moves, and builds the practical systems, automations, and habits that make execution more reliable.

We do not start with software. We start with the work.

002

We start with the workflow, not the tool.

We map the real flow of work: how requests enter, how context gets gathered, how decisions are made, how responsibility moves, and where things break down. Then we design the smallest practical improvement that can prove value.

Click a step to expand
01 Diagnostic Where work enters and where context gets lost. +

We sit with the people who do the work and trace one real workflow end to end, separating evidence from assumptions. We map intake, context, ownership, decision points, handoffs, and where momentum is lost.

You get

A practical workflow assessment, the friction points ranked, and a recommended next step.

Typically 1–2 weeks · paid · stands on its own
02 Design sprint A practical future-state you can act on. +

We design the future-state workflow around the people and the decisions, not the tooling. We define roles, responsibilities, handoffs, and the smallest slice worth proving first.

You get

A future-state design, a roles-and-responsibilities map, and an implementation plan.

Builds on the diagnostic
03 Pilot The smallest end-to-end slice, with real work. +

We stand up the smallest useful version and run it with real work, with people in the loop. We keep human approval where judgment and trust matter.

You get

A working pilot, evidence of whether it helps, and a clear go, adjust, or stop decision.

Real work, low risk
04 Implementation The connected workflow, in production. +

We build and roll out the connected workflow: process changes, automation, lightweight tools, connected data, and decision support, using the systems you already have where possible.

You get

The workflow in production and the team actually using it.

In production
05 Support Kept accurate, useful, and adopted. +

We refine as the work changes, watch adoption, and keep the knowledge current so the improvement does not quietly decay.

You get

Ongoing refinement and a workflow that stays adopted.

Ongoing

Each step stands on its own. Most clients start with a focused, paid diagnostic before committing to anything larger.

What we build
Expand for detail
01 Workflow diagnostics See where the breakdown is. +
For

Teams that know something is inefficient but need a clear picture of where it is happening. We map one important workflow and show where work, context, ownership, and decisions get disconnected.

You get

A practical assessment, ranked opportunities, and a recommended next step.

02 Process & experience design Redesign how the work moves. +
For

Work that is inconsistent, frustrating, or too dependent on individual people. We redesign the future-state around the people, the decisions, and the outcomes the business needs.

You get

A future-state process, roles and responsibilities, handoff design, and a plan.

03 Automation & lightweight systems Stop the manual chasing. +
For

Too much manual follow-up, copying, chasing, re-entering, and status-checking. We build practical automations, forms, trackers, internal tools, or connected workflows on the systems you have.

You get

A working improvement, not just a recommendation deck.

04 Knowledge & decision support Right context, right person, right time. +
For

Context trapped in people's heads, scattered files, and disconnected systems. We capture the knowledge behind decisions and make it findable and trustworthy.

You get

Role-specific knowledge structures, decision guides, and connected context.

05 Sales & account execution Consistent commercial follow-through. +
For

Inconsistent context and follow-through across accounts and opportunities. We design the CRM habits, account views, opportunity workflows, and follow-up systems.

You get

A sales execution system built around how your team actually sells.

003

Most businesses do not have a technology problem. They have a workflow problem.

01

“We have the information, but no one can get the full picture quickly.”

02

“Everything comes through email, Teams, texts, spreadsheets, and side conversations.”

03

“Only a few experienced people know how this really works.”

04

“We cannot see what is stuck, who owns it, or what happens next.”

05

“Our systems record activity, but they do not help people move the work forward.”

06

“We keep solving the same problems again because the knowledge never turns into a better process.”

What we measure, against a baseline we set with you
Cycle time

Start to finish.

Lost work

Falls through the cracks.

Status visibility

Ownership and what is stuck.

Rework

Corrected or re-explained.

Adoption

People actually use it.

Operations

Asset-intensive, operational, regulated, and field-based work, where real workflows are fragmented across people, systems, and a few experienced heads.

005

Built by someone who has worked both sides.

CederusAI was founded by Dave Gerl. Dave has spent nearly two decades across oil and gas operations, operational technology, SaaS, workflow automation, and business development, working close to frontline teams, technical teams, executives, and the software systems that sit between them.

That mix matters because most execution problems do not fit neatly into one box. They are partly process, partly people, partly systems, partly data, partly communication, and partly leadership visibility. Based in Canada.

A note on proof

No client logos yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. The proof is the method, the working improvement, and the outcomes we agree to measure together.

006

Questions, answered straight.

What does CederusAI actually do?+

We redesign a consequential workflow end to end, then build whatever makes it reliable: process changes, connected knowledge, automation, dashboards, AI assistance, or bespoke software. The output depends on the workflow, not on a product we are trying to sell.

Who is it for?+

Operations, engineering, and executive leaders in asset-intensive, operational, regulated, or field-based organizations, plus growing B2B teams whose work is fragmented across people, email, Teams, spreadsheets, multiple systems, and a few experienced heads.

How do we start?+

With a focused, paid diagnostic on one workflow. It stands on its own and gives you a clear picture before you commit to anything larger. Most engagements then ladder into a design sprint, a pilot, implementation, and ongoing support.

Do you have case studies?+

Not yet, and we will not invent them. Instead we agree on a baseline and a practical definition of success up front, then measure against it: cycle time, lost work, status visibility, rework, decision speed, and adoption.

Where does AI fit?+

Where it earns its place in the workflow, and never as the starting point. We keep human approval where judgment and trust matter, and use automation where work is repetitive, rules-based, or easy to drop.

007

Start with one workflow.

Book a 60-minute discovery session. We will map where work enters, where context gets lost, who needs to act, and the smallest valuable improvement. You will leave with a clearer picture whether or not we work together.

No obligation.
No generic pitch.
Just a focused conversation about the work that keeps coming up.
