For operations, HR, supply chain, finance and customer service leaders
Arenema helps operations, HR, supply chain, finance and customer teams put AI to work on the tasks that slow them down. Your people keep the judgement, the relationships and the decisions. AI takes on the repetitive load.

Your teams know the work. We give them AI that takes on the repetitive part, so they can focus on what needs their judgement.
AI prepares, people decide. We design every solution with the team that will use it, so it removes friction from their day instead of adding one more tool. The goal is more capacity for valuable work, not fewer people.
Clear rules on which data is used and where it is processed. Transparency for employees about what the AI does. Solutions designed with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) in mind, and the EU AI Act where it applies to you.
We start with two or three use cases that have a measurable result, agree the baseline with you, and measure it. What works is scaled. What doesn't is stopped early.

Three typical use cases per business line, with one worked example. The figures are illustrative and show how the value is calculated. We build your own business case together in the discovery phase.

Illustrative examples based on typical figures for Swiss SMEs and mid-sized companies. They are neither a commitment nor a guarantee: results depend on your processes, your data and how your teams adopt the solution. Full-time equivalent based on 1,760 working hours a year.
Pick one task your team repeats every week and adjust the figures.
A first estimate only. In the discovery phase we validate it against your real data.
Every engagement follows the same five stages and is planned from day one with a handover.
2–4 weeks
Workshops with you and your team. We map where time goes, choose two or three use cases and agree how success will be measured.
4–8 weeks
A secure environment, access to the right data, first governance rules and a pilot with real users.
Iterative
We develop AI assistants and agents and integrate them into the tools your teams already use: Microsoft 365, ERP, CRM, ticketing. Tested with the people who will use them.
6–18 months
Rollout, adoption support, measurement against the baseline and new use cases added step by step.
Planned end
Documentation, trained internal champions and a clear operating model. Your team runs the solution, and we stay available if you need us.
Available at every stage.
Based in St-Cergue, between Geneva and Lausanne. We work in English, French and German.
We talk about processes, KPIs and teams. Technology follows.
Large-scale agile transformation and team coaching in international groups.
Experience with ISO 27001 and Cyber Resilience Act contexts, ITIL practice and project management.
Every engagement is planned with a handover. You build your own capability, not a dependency.
Our approach is built to support employees. We define the use cases with the team and decide together where the freed time goes: customers, quality, development, projects that have been waiting.
No. The initiative comes from your business line. We involve your IT team early for security, data access and integration, and we keep the scope small at the start.
We define with you which data the AI may use, where it is processed and who can see it. We favour enterprise-grade services with contractual data protection, hosted in Switzerland or the EU when your requirements call for it.
A first pilot usually runs with real users within two to three months of the start.
We choose tools that fit your landscape, your security requirements and your budget, often building on what you already use, such as Microsoft 365.
Your team owns the solution, with documentation and trained champions. Optional support and new use cases remain available if you want them.
A 30-minute conversation is enough to see whether AI can make a real difference to one of your team's processes. No preparation needed.
