At QLERQS (pronounced like 'Klerks'), we help you save time, money and energy by relieving you of tiring, boring, repetitive work — and we give founders the technical leadership to ship their MVP. Powered by the latest AI, agents, ML and RPA.
The senior technical leader your startup needs — without the full-time hire. Strategy, architecture, MVP delivery, AI/agent integration, and engineering muscle, in one engagement.
QLERQS is a technology company that helps companies of different types and sizes optimize their operations and increase productivity. We use Robotic Process Automation (RPA) — combined with AI agents, LLM workflows and Machine Learning — to automate company activities and processes. As long as the activity is repetitive, time-consuming, and has a clear procedure with few exceptions, we can automate it for your business.
Our flagship product for Swiss SMEs. The robot reads invoices and receipts, books them in Bexio, assigns accounts and prepares payment slips — all without a new interface for your team. Listed on the Bexio Marketplace. 14-day free trial.
We give founders the technical judgment, hands-on engineering, and modern stack to ship the right product fast — and to keep ownership of every decision. We work as your fractional CTO: same seniority, same accountability, fraction of the cost.
You are the founder. Your job is customers, vision, fundraising, hiring, sales — the things only you can do. Becoming a senior technical leader on top of that takes 15–20 years and a lot of expensive lessons. Stack choices, architecture decisions, security baselines, vendor selection, hiring engineers, knowing when to refactor versus when to ship — none of that is something you can read your way through in a weekend. We bring that experience on day one. You stop second-guessing technical decisions and get back to the things only you can do. We translate your business goals into a technical roadmap, and we own the execution end-to-end.
The technical landscape moves every six months. AI, agents, LLM workflows, RAG, vector databases, agentic frameworks — what was state-of-the-art a year ago is legacy now, and what is 'AI' on a vendor's landing page is often a thin wrapper that won't survive contact with real users. Because we work across multiple startups and live in this stack full-time, we know what actually ships in production versus what is hype. You get our pattern library, our vendor relationships, our beta access, and — most importantly — our judgment on the new tools. Your MVP launches with the same caliber of technology a Series-B company would deploy, in a fraction of the time it would take a founder to even evaluate the options.
A full-time Swiss CTO costs roughly CHF 180k–250k per year plus equity, takes 3–6 months to hire, and is very difficult to let go if the fit is wrong. Most early-stage startups don't need 100% of a CTO yet — they need 100% of the judgment a few days a week, plus engineers who actually ship. With CTO as a Service you pay only for the leadership and engineering you actually use. We scale up during the MVP push, scale down once the product is stable, and help you build your in-house team only when the timing is right. The result: fewer wrong hires, fewer wrong technical bets, faster time to MVP, and significantly lower burn.
We meet your team, audit any existing code or product, align on the business goals, and define a technical north star.
Architecture, stack selection, vendor decisions, hiring plan, budget. You leave this phase with a written plan you can show investors.
We lead and/or execute the MVP. We hire engineers as needed, run sprints, and ship to real users — typically in under three months.
Technical reviews, scaling decisions, AI/agent rollouts, security and compliance, hiring for your in-house team.
Clean documentation, knowledge transfer to your full-time CTO, and we step back. Your code, your IP, your team.
For invoice and document understanding we use the latest global technologies: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and more. For your product, we bring the same.
Moving to new software is always difficult and costly. With our automations you keep the existing software your team already uses.
Robots handle the less qualified, repetitive parts. Your team devotes human creativity to what matters and focuses on more complex activities.
A robot works 24/7 at a fraction of the cost of a human doing similar work.
You can always check what the robot has done and correct it. The robot learns from your corrections and applies the knowledge next time.
The QLERQS Accounting Robot automates your manual and time-consuming tasks. Thanks to its modern technology, it works independently in the background: it checks Bexio for new invoices, reads them, identifies the data required for processing, selects or creates a supplier, fills the corresponding Bexio fields and books each invoice as a draft. You then check, correct if needed, and release for payment. No new interface, no retraining, your data stored securely in Switzerland.
Understand vision, constraints, and the processes worth automating.
Architecture, stack, roadmap, automation candidates, budget.
We lead and/or execute, typically delivering in under 3 months.
Your team, your code, your IP, with optional ongoing support.
