## About this market
Automation for a mid-market company means a model wired into a system the business already runs, and the documented work names those systems. Algorithma's agents handle Byggmax's email, chat and phone inquiries, reported at more than 80% fewer human-managed tickets, and resolve roughly 35% of CDON's inquiries. Alpdev built Polfin a three-score lead model inside a 35,000-lead CRM, with a cooling layer for early churn detection, and gave Bent a support agent that recommends products by linking to real ERP catalog entries rather than generating an answer. Wise Monks unified CRM, warehouse, BI and accounting for seafood wholesaler Lestena with inventory forecasting, and automated credit-opinion generation with monitoring alerts for Creditreform Lithuania. Grepton's chat agent for ANDA Present Group answers staff questions in Microsoft Teams from SharePoint documents. Datamole works at a different scale: milking-routine personalization for Lely across 30,000-plus robots and 5 million daily sessions, reported at up to 80% fewer non-optimal milkings. STX Next's clearest automation evidence is a Claude Code workflow inside its own delivery for The Cambium Group, not a system shipped to a client's users.

With no in-house ML team, the sorting question is who owns the automation when it drifts. Alpdev was founded in 2025 with fewer than ten people; Wise Monks names nobody on its team page and publishes no monitoring detail; Algorithma publishes no team size; Grepton's ANDA study reports no usage figures. Ask each for the system that has run longest, what broke, and who fixed it.
