What I can solve
If you do it by hand every time,
If you do it by hand every time,
it can probably be automated.
A few real examples of repetitive work I remove from my clients' days. Recognize yours?
“I send the same emails by hand every week.”
With AFiancoI send them automatically, personalized for each recipient. You stay in control, everything goes out on its own.
“I track deadlines on an Excel sheet.”
With AFiancoA flow keeps an eye on them for you and alerts you before they expire, on the channel you prefer.
“I copy data from one system to another.”
With AFiancoI connect your systems: data updates on its own, with no copy-paste and no mistakes.
“I keep answering the same questions.”
With AFiancoAn AI agent answers for you, based on your documents and in line with how you work.
“I prepare the same reports every month.”
With AFiancoThe report builds itself with up-to-date data and lands ready in your inbox.
“I collect website requests by hand.”
With AFiancoEvery request lands in your management system or CRM, assigned and tracked, instantly.
How I work
From your problem to the right solution.
A simple, jargon-free method. I always start from a consultation, not from a tool.
1
Consultation
I listen and map your processes: where time is lost and what's worth changing.
2
Proposal
I tell you what to do, with which tools and in how much time. Clear and with no commitment.
3
Build
I build the solution with the right tool for your case and put it to work.
4
Evolve
I stay by your side: I improve what's running and add pieces when you need them.
My approach
I don't sell you technology.
I don't sell you technology.
I solve a problem.
I'm strong in the Microsoft ecosystem, but I don't lock you into a single vendor. I choose the tool based on your problem, whether an automated flow, an AI assistant or a purpose-built app. The goal is always the same: less manual work, more time to run your business.

Who I am
Truly by your side.
My name is Davide. I work with digitalisation, data and process optimisation. In practice: I'm the person you can count on when you need an IT department and don't have one.
I've worked in very different settings, from small businesses and startups to large structured companies, and I've learned what really works. With AFianco I bring that method, the one the big players use, to small and medium businesses: a partner who stays by your side, not a quote that vanishes.

FAQ
Quick answers.
What exactly does AFianco do?
I help small and medium businesses digitalise: process automation, AI, management control with Power BI, websites and e-commerce, custom software and training. One partner for everything digital.
Where do you work?
From Lugano, with SMEs across Ticino and Italian-speaking Switzerland, in person or remotely. I also work with companies in the rest of Switzerland and in Italy.
How much does a consultation cost?
The first 30-minute intro call is free and non-binding. Then you receive a clear proposal: what I'll do, how long it takes and what it costs.
Do you only work with Microsoft tools?
No. I work a lot with the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Automate, Power BI, Copilot) because that's where many companies already keep their data, but I always pick the right tool for your problem.
Tell me about the process that steals your time.
A no-commitment chat. I'll tell you if and how it can be automated, and where it's best to start.
