Rivergrove Solutions

Rivergrove helps growing SMEs escape workflow chaos — and reclaim 10–30 hours a week — without hiring more staff.

We partner with 10–100 person businesses to spot broken processes, streamline them, and layer in automation where it actually delivers value - from no-code tools to AI-powered workflows.

🧠 What we help teams achieve:
• Reclaim 10–30 hours/week from repetitive tasks
• Tame spreadsheet chaos & fix error-prone handoffs
• Automate without disrupting how teams work
• Unlock scalable growth through lean, smart ops

💬 Most teams start with a Free Workflow Audit
It’s zero-fluff - just sharp insights on where time’s leaking and what to fix first.

Rivergrove isn’t a tool pusher or faceless dev shop.
We lead with strategy - fixing what’s broken first - then implementing automation that fits.

Think of us as your unofficial Chief Automation Officer - minus the full-time salary.

Founder - Workflow Strategist & Automation Guide

Bothive

At Bothive, I led product strategy and execution across AI-powered tooling for internal collaboration, automation, and client support.

My core focus was eliminating friction in how teams gather information. I worked cross-functionally with developers, marketers, and leadership to shape product vision, prioritize feature development, and build experiences that felt natural to use.

I translated user friction into high-impact feature improvements, and aligned each improvement with our AI strategy to drive measurable outcomes. Using agile methodologies, I shipped continuous product improvements while maintaining a high bar for usability.

Relevant to Rivergrove: This role sharpened my skill in uncovering process friction, collaborating across teams, and driving AI-aligned solutions - all of which I now apply to help SMEs streamline and automate what matters.

Product Manager / PO

CellCarta

As Product Manager for qbase+, a scientific software platform for qPCR data analysis, I led the product lifecycle from discovery to delivery.

I collaborated with scientists, developers, and stakeholders to prioritize features that simplified workflows, reduced manual data manipulation, and eliminated bottlenecks in the lab-to-report process.

My approach combined technical product expertise with deep customer empathy. I collected feedback through customer interviews and support interactions, translated it into clear product roadmaps, and worked closely with developers to deliver targeted improvements with measurable gains.

Relevant to Rivergrove: This role deepened my ability to turn complex, error-prone processes into streamlined digital workflows - a muscle I now flex for SME teams buried in spreadsheets and redundant admin.

Product Manager

Biogazelle NV

As Support Officer for qbase+, I delivered hands-on technical support to users while also managing internal process documentation and SOP development.

I worked closely with Product and support teams to capture user issues, recommend fixes, and shape roadmap updates that cut rework across teams.

Beyond support, I wrote technical documentation and training resources that made onboarding smoother and reduced repetitive queries.

Relevant to Rivergrove: This role taught me how to spot patterns in repetitive work, translate them into scalable improvements, and support change adoption - key elements in any workflow optimization project.

Technical Support Officer

Boet & van Wijk

At Boet & van Wijk, a wholesaler in van equipment and shelving, I managed cross-functional coordination between sales, logistics, and suppliers to ensure smooth operations and on-time delivery.

I implemented meaningful workflow changes to reduce delivery delays, eliminate redundant communication loops, and simplify quoting processes.

Relevant to Rivergrove: This early role showed me how even small workflow tweaks can eliminate friction, improve coordination, and drive better outcomes - a principle that underpins every Rivergrove project today.

It gave me my first glimpse into how small process changes can produce big business leverage.

Project Coordinator

Most SME teams aren’t broken - their workflows are.

If your business runs on heroic effort, duct-tape processes, and “we’ve always done it this way,” you’re likely leaking time and burning team energy.

As a Workflow Strategist & Automation Guide, I help 10–100 person SMEs reclaim lost hours by fixing inefficiencies at the source - then applying smart automation where it actually makes a difference.

🔍 How it works:
1. Free audit to uncover friction, delays & hidden time drains

2. Map your highest-friction workflow first - then zoom out if needed

3. Recommend tailored fixes: process redesign, practical automation, or AI where it truly adds value

4. Optional implementation support - no fluff, no pushy upsells


✅ Results:
• 10–30 hours/week reclaimed
• Fewer errors, smoother ops & happier teams
• More time to grow - without hiring

If you're running a 10–100 person SME and feel like your ops are stuck in quicksand…
