Startups 2025

acto is changing the way SMEs interact with data - the days of countless reports and dashboards are over!

Decision intelligence is used to analyse customer data fully automatically and transform it into specific recommendations for action. This saves B2B sales teams valuable time that would otherwise be tied up in researching CRM and ERP systems.

Thanks to AI-supported data analysis, any form of routines and anomalies in customer behaviour are identified. This makes it easier for sales to reactivate lost customers, utilise cross-selling and upselling potential and prevent customer churn. This significantly increases sales with existing customers.

This is why leading companies from the wholesale, logistics and component manufacturing sectors are already relying on the solutions of the young start-up from Paderborn.
