#TechDemo x Rapid Rise
Practical artificial intelligence for Swiss SMEs
Based in Neuchâtel, Rapid Rise is a Swiss technology company whose mission is to help the self-employed and very small businesses (VSEs) accelerate their digital transformation through the intelligent automation of business processes. The platform, designed specifically for the realities of the Swiss self-employed and VSEs, aims to reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks, improve productivity and support growth through adapted, simple and effective digital tools and services. The aim: to save up to 85% of your time on the most laborious tasks, and triple your sales thanks to continuous automation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
An intelligent, simple, efficient & scalable automation solution .
The Rapid Rise platform stands out for its modular, targeted approach, which is particularly well-suited to the day-to-day needs of the self-employed and very small businesses. In contrast to the dense and sometimes overly complex ecosystems offered by the major publishers, Rapid Rise relies on a tightly-packed set of functionalities, designed to bring real added value to small and medium-sized businesses, without superfluity. The platform offers concrete, effective automation tools such as:
- presence on social networks: automated content creation and publication
- online reputation management: optimizing ratings, reviews and search engine ranking
- e-mail management: intelligent filtering, prioritization, sorting, personalized replies...
- data entry: dynamic extraction, auto-fill, verification...
- planning: calendar management, appointment scheduling, deadline optimization...
- customer service: web chatbots, SMS & WhatsApp contextual responses, ticket management...
- business analysis: automated reporting, performance alerts, forecasting, market analysis...
- legal advice and compliance: nLPD, processing registers, documentation...
Automations that will, for example, simplify sales reminders, save precious time on invoicing, or streamline customer support management - all time-consuming tasks transformed into fluid, autonomous processes. Rapid Rise relies on artificial intelligence technologies to make the most of them, where the operational value makes it a practical asset rather than a marketing one. The company also offers a mobile application available on iOS and Android, so that users can easily monitor and control their operations remotely.
Using AI won't solve everything, but not using AI is perhaps an even bigger risk.
In an ever-changing economic environment, digital transformation is becoming an essential strategic lever for Swiss SMEs. The integration of artificial intelligence into operational processes offers significant opportunities in terms of productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.
A study conducted by PwC Switzerland reveals that 54% of Geneva SMEs have already adopted AI, with convincing results: 74% of them see an increase in productivity, and 43% observe an improvement in the quality of their services. These figures illustrate the potential of AI to optimize SME operations.
For Swiss SMEs, embarking on their digital transformation and integrating AI-based tools, like Rapid Rise, is therefore a significant advantage for staying competitive and meeting today's market challenges.
As Stéphane said in his #TechTalk interview:
Very small businesses are now turning to digital tools to optimize their operations, even going so far as to exploit ChatGPT to facilitate certain tasks. To make this transition a success, it's essential that all employees are involved, not just management, to ensure collective buy-in. It is advisable to start with modest, clearly defined and measurable projects, enabling you to quickly demonstrate their value and win the confidence of your teams. Once this initial success has been validated, digital initiatives can be gradually extended. By moving forward in stages, and surrounding themselves with the right skills, these companies maximize their chances of successfully completing their digital transformation.
So if you've ever asked yourself∙e of these questions, among others:
- How can I effectively integrate AI into my SME?
- What concrete gains can an SME make from using AI?
- How can I rally my teams around a local solution?
