SEQUAFY GmbH

SEQUAFY – Our mission

As Managing Director of SEQUAFY GmbH, based in Munich, I have been working in IT and IT management for 15 years now. As a trained IT specialist (Fachinformatiker) followed by a business administration degree, the path into the IT industry was mapped out early on. Because one thing was always clear: I wanted to run an IT company. Through my career in many different companies, where I repeatedly looked after digitalization topics, I gained enough experience—positive as well as constructive—so that today I know what matters. Based on all these experiences, I teamed up with friends in 2019 and founded SEQUAFY GmbH.

SEQUAFY essentially serves two major areas in the IT industry. On the one hand, we are active in cloud consulting. That means we support companies on their journey to the cloud. On the other hand, the somewhat smaller area revolves entirely around Modern Workplace and everything that comes with it. This includes, for example, how to use Microsoft 365 to meet your own needs.

What is special about SEQUAFY?

At SEQUAFY, we work in a needs-oriented way. What does that mean? We implement different projects for different customers, depending on what needs they have. We value direct interaction with our customers and, unlike huge companies, we stand out through the individuality and expertise we can offer to each and every one. Customers should enjoy their digitalization project—this is how the most can be achieved. The most important thing for us is transparency. We communicate openly about what we can do and what we can’t. And if a sub-project doesn’t make sense, we discuss it with our customer.

Which software setup has been used since the company was founded?

Even back then, we immediately agreed that we needed time tracking—before the company was officially founded. We don’t sell physical goods, but rather work performed in the form of time, and we need to be able to record that correctly. So apart from Microsoft 365, we started with time tracking and an invoicing application. We’ve been using Clockodo from the beginning; for our invoices, we switched to easybill in Q2/2022. For this decision, we looked at which tools Clockodo already offers interfaces for. easybill fit our expectations for the quote and invoicing process perfectly.

Thanks to the direct interface between Clockodo and easybill, the recorded time entries from our projects and employee services are transferred directly into the documents at eaybill. This saves us the daily manual effort of copying data back and forth. And above all, it significantly reduces the risk of errors, since the automation takes over and makes handling incredibly easy.

One more tip on implementing software for entrepreneurs

My tip—one I would mention any time: Don’t click on everything that seems useful at first glance. You should think things through beforehand and define goals for what exactly is needed, instead of simply “implementing right away.” People often say, “Nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution.” But with poorly thought-out structures, you’ll run into problems in the long run. Data is scattered everywhere, people don’t have access, and security suffers. So it’s better to sit down at the beginning and develop a structure.
