Presentation of the economic development organization's service offering, plus information on its projects, campaigns, events and activities.

The service catalog is a consolidated, systematic presentation of the services provided by the respective economic development organization.

Digitalization and AI agents

Various implementation stages, from analog realization to complete automation through AI agents.

Service catalog as a Word document or PDF, revised manually once a year, distributed as a printed brochure, no search function, quickly out of date.

Service catalog on the intranet or SharePoint, first digital search function, regular updates by designated staff, available as a PDF download on the website.

Dynamic online service catalog on the website with filtering by target group and topic, direct links to online appointment booking and contact forms, automatic notification of registered users when new services are added.

Businesses can submit needs and wishes for new services directly on the community platform, the community rates the value of individual services, and the catalog is developed collaboratively.

AI agents automate the communication surrounding the service catalog: • Needs matching agent: Automatically analyzes business enquiries and recommends the matching EDO services from the catalog • Currency check agent: Automatically reminds service owners to review and update their catalog entries • News distribution agent: Automatically informs registered users, segmented by profile, about new or changed services relevant to them • Usage analysis agent: Automatically reports on which services are requested most often and which are barely used • Onboarding guide agent: Automatically walks new businesses through the catalog and recommends the entry-level offerings relevant to their situation
