Company Brain for ERP handover to support
Short answer
An AI knowledge base for teams that implement business systems lets a support consultant reconstruct what was agreed during the rollout: what went live, what stayed a proposal and where it is recorded, without searching through workshop notes. An AI application on company documents costs from €3,000 net at Syntalith. At 300 support questions a month and 20 minutes of searching each, it pays back in 1.0 months.

A workshop proposal and the version that went live
A client asks support why purchase orders still need a manager's approval, when removing that step was discussed at a workshop. The consultant did not take part in the rollout. The workshop note records the idea, while the agreed system handover document says that the live version kept the approval and that removing the step stayed a proposal.
The handover document
applies
The live version and the person who keeps it up to date.
The workshop note
history
An idea that did not have to make it into the system.
Open proposals

Kept apart from completed work.
The assistant describes what the documents say. If someone changed the settings without updating the documentation, the knowledge base will not confirm it, and a consultant with access to the system checks the configuration. Access to answers matches the consultant's access to client projects.
What it costs and when it pays back
- Today
- 300 support questions × 20 min = 100 h (€3,490)
- With the system, a person checks the result in 15% of the time
- €524
- Model, 1 call per case, Claude Sonnet 5.5
- €5
- Cost of one case
- €11.63 today, €1.76 with the system
- Saving
- €2,961 a month
Payback of €3,000

The volume, the time and the checking share are the scenario's assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Model: 6,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens per call at Anthropic's rates, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
The model is a small item here. The result depends on the time that searching and asking around take today, and on how much of it remains for checking the answer. In post-rollout support we also count the tickets the consultant had to pass to the implementation team only to find out what went live. Each such handover takes the time of two people and delays the answer to the client.
Before we price the build, we run a test on 20 to 100 questions the team has already asked: we compare the application's answer with what the employee found by hand, and we count the time from the question to the source. The test takes 5 working days and costs €0.
When a better handover helps
If consultants mainly look for one handover document, a clear folder or a project page with links is enough. If the sources are incomplete, the handover has to be completed first, because AI will not reconstruct agreements nobody wrote down. An assistant makes sense when the answer regularly means collecting information from the handover document, an earlier agreement and a later change request.
One handover document per project
a clear folder with links
no application
An incomplete handover
completing the documentation before an assistant
the implementation team's job
An answer from several documents and tickets
an assistant on project documents
from €3,000
Where to start
The first scope is the handover documents from a few finished rollouts and the questions support recently passed to the implementation team.
For the first call, one question that keeps coming back to colleagues and where the team looks for the answer are enough. You do not need to send confidential documents, and you receive the written plan within 2 working days.

a month for finding answers to 800 questions in documents
Payback: 1 mo.
Our assumptions are 8 minutes to find an answer in documents or ask a colleague, and checking in 15% of the old time. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 6,000 + 500 tokens per answer from documents, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
