02 Entrepreneur
My own company. My own responsibility.
With tallycore I did what I do for clients today: understood an entire industry process and translated it into software.
Casting and model agencies work with many people involved, tight deadlines and information that goes back and forth between inboxes, lists and individual tools.
tallycore brings this process together in one platform, from the first enquiry to the invoice. What began as the solution to a specific problem has become a product in its own right, with packages that grow with the agency.
- Entrepreneurial responsibility for budget, priorities and partners
- Concept, UX and product management of the platform
- Positioning, marketing and go-to-market
- Winning clients, costing quotes, developing client relationships
“That is why I know digitalisation not only from consulting, but with my own budget, my own priorities and my own responsibility.”
03 Background
Five disciplines. One view of the process.
For me, process work is the sum of everything that came before. That is why I see more in a process than the technology.
-
UX & strategy
Web applications, native apps and websites: understanding users, structuring requirements, developing strategies.
For you: Solutions your team likes to use.
-
Information architecture & design
Organising complex content and functions until they look simple.
For you: Processes you understand at a glance.
-
Online marketing & sales
Lead generation, CRM, pitches, quotes and costing.
For you: Processes that start with the customer, not in the system.
-
Digital product management
Prioritising, deciding, shipping: as team lead and with my own product, tallycore.
For you: The smallest sensible step first.
-
Business processes & automation
Since 2023: workflow automation, interfaces and AI workflows in practice.
For you: Routine runs automatically. Decisions stay with people.
04 Approach
How I look at a process.
The systems stay. What changes is the manual work before, between and after them.
Example: an enquiry by email passes through two existing systems. Four steps: see the process, spot the friction, check the benefit, choose the technology.
- Before: details from the email are retyped by hand. Worth it, will be taken over automatically.
- System A stays.
- Between: data is transferred by hand. Worth it, will run via an interface in future.
- System B stays.
- After: following up stays with people.
05 Client voice
“In the end, it actually gets done.”
Riccardo worked with us to sharpen our positioning, analysed our internal processes and documented them properly, built effective landing pages and started the first improvements to our business processes, including marketing and sales. What convinces me most: he brings our employees along – motivating, and on an equal footing. Working together is efficient, and in the end it actually gets done.

06 Value
What you get out of it.
Experience only counts when it changes something in the project.
-
Hands-on
I don’t just design concepts, I implement them myself. From the first conversation to the running process, you have one point of contact.
-
Experience
Almost 20 years of digital projects for mid-sized companies and corporations, from an agency and from an entrepreneur’s perspective.
-
Combination
UX, product, sales and technology in one person. No friction losses between consultant, designer and developer.
-
Entrepreneurial view
I ask first whether a change pays off. And I say so if it doesn’t.
-
Bringing people along
Your team is involved from the start. That is why a solution actually gets used day to day.
-
Network
If specialist knowledge is needed, I bring in experienced partners. Responsibility stays with me.
What you will not get from me: a tool decided in advance. AI where a simple rule will do. Percentage promises before anyone has seen your process.
