AI Audit in Montpellier: Map Your Processes Before Deploying Agents

Unlike many ecosystems, Montpellier combines a leading-edge economy with a very classic SME fabric. Around Eurêka and Cap Gamma, health and digital-service companies live on grant files, tender responses and client follow-up. Around the airport zones, industrial and logistics SMEs pile up compliance documents. And in the city center, agencies and restaurants run on manual management.

One point connects these profiles: nobody knows precisely how many hours go into data entry, follow-ups and information hunting every day. The AI audit we offer across Hérault answers exactly that question.

Why audit before automating

The most common trap in Montpellier is to just start: buy a subscription, connect two tools, deploy a script here and there. Three months later, the owner has paid but has not recovered one hour. The audit reverses the order.

In 45 minutes we produce three concrete deliverables:

• A process map: who does what, how long, how often. We highlight the most expensive flow, the one that deserves the first agent.
• A gain estimate: recovered hours per week, translated into working days then euros, stated before any signature.
• A zero-risk roadmap: first project, next projects, and what stays manual forever. AI does not fix everything, and a good audit says so from the start.

Once the roadmap is set, we deploy agents on your existing tools: qualifying inbound requests, preparing quotes, updating the CRM, following up with clients and suppliers. Agents handle the repetitive, your teams keep expertise, negotiation and relationships.

An expert on the team, not a flat-fee vendor

The audit is delivered through Fractional AI Direction: a senior AI expert works inside your company, 1 to 10 days a month, configuring, connecting and training. From €990 excl. VAT/month for one day, decreasing to €750/day at ten days. Cancellable with 30 days notice.

How it starts

The 45-minute audit is free and non-binding. The first agent goes live within 30 days.

Possible extras: Claude Pro ($20/user/month) and sometimes an automation platform (20 to 50 €/month), opened in your company's name, no commission.

FAQ

I already have a CRM and many tools, why an audit? Because the problem is not the tools but how they are connected and used. The audit shows what needs linking, without adding anything useless.

We are in the highly regulated health sector. We integrate compliance from the audit: sensitive perimeters, isolated data, accounts in your name. Automation happens within the regulatory framework, not beside it.

How long before a result? The first agent goes live within 30 days. The effect usually shows in the first week, because we start with the most painful process.

What if the audit concludes there is nothing to automate? It happens, and it is a useful answer too. You leave with that certainty instead of spending on a useless solution.

Hiring, agency, or outsourcing: the real cost

Hiring answers a permanent, full-time need with the risk of delay and departure. An agency bills days without transferring know-how. Fractional AI Direction brings a full function, adjustable from 1 to 10 days a month, cancellable with 30 days notice, keeping everything built in your name.

Grants to fund your audit and your agents

Occitanie has built some of France's most responsive schemes. The Plan IA Occitanie (€60 million) targets local SMEs directly, the Pass Occitanie covers up to 50% of consulting and integration costs, and AD'OCC supports digital roadmaps across the regional network, from Nîmes to Perpignan. Nationally, Bpifrance's Diagnostic IA subsidizes 50% of a 3-to-10-day expertise mission.

Using one of these channels, the net cost of a senior expert day drops below €500 excl. VAT. That is a double signal for owners: automation pays off, and public funding covers part of it.

This is what we identify during the free 45-minute audit: the fastest channels to activate for your SME, based on its sector, size and location in Occitanie.
