Software evolves.Work changes.
From project management to agentic capabilities. An evolution shaped by listening to customers and connecting UnderControl to Claude.

Signed purchase option
The agreement. Then the work.
We signed an option to acquire 70% of UnderControl. We then began a hands-on transformation to strengthen the business.
Customer insight, product development and new agentic capabilities.
A useful product.Ready to go further.
Under Control began as project-management software built around a practical need: a useful product at an affordable cost. Simplicity and attention to daily work were part of its value.
The arrival of AI opened a new possibility: extend that foundation of functionality and process knowledge with automations capable of carrying out operational tasks. We worked on this evolution, keeping usefulness for the people using the product at its centre.
clients involved in one-to-one conversations
Before building,listen.
In the individual conversations, we did two things: helped clients understand the potential of agentic AI and listened to the problems they faced at work. This dialogue helped give a practical direction to Under Control’s evolution.
Show the possibilities
Explain how AI can support project activities, using clear examples close to clients’ daily work.
Listen to the problems
Gather needs, repetitive tasks and difficulties through dedicated conversations, one by one.
Shape the solutions
Connect technological opportunities to the needs identified, focusing development on useful automations.
UnderControl meets Claude.And gets to work.
We built a connector between Under Control and Claude and developed agentic automations for project management. The connection to the management system is the foundation for these new capabilities.
Fewer manual steps.More room for work.
Three project activities for which we developed automations. People review, complete and confirm the work prepared by agents.
From documentsto a project ready to start.
Gathering the initial information and entering it into the project structure involves manual steps.
The automation
An automation that uses the available data to prepare project setup, organising the information needed to get started.
The result, ready for review
An AI-prepared project foundation to review and complete before proceeding.
The work donebecomes project knowledge.
Reconstructing project events often means searching for information spread across communications and activities.
The automation
An automation that compiles a project diary from connected sources, such as emails, meetings and activities.
The result, ready for review
An organised record of what happened, ready to review and confirm without starting from scratch each time.
From activitiesto proposed time entries.
Summarising time spent on projects can become repetitive and difficult to reconstruct afterwards.
The automation
An automation that gathers the available information and supports the preparation of time reports by project.
The result, ready for review
A proposal to review and confirm: reconstructed hours are not treated as certain measurements.
New capabilitiesneed to be understood.
Alongside the technology work, we brought in the commercial approach we had already applied at XEEL LAB. Workshops became an opportunity to build understanding of AI and show what could change in day-to-day project work.
The XEEL LAB storyWorkshops to open the conversation
Make AI possibilities understandable through problems and activities that clients recognise.
Conversations to make it relevant
Connect those possibilities to specific needs and build a dialogue around valuable solutions.
More capability in the product.A closer connection to clients.
The original value remains
Project-management expertise stays at the foundation of the product’s evolution.
The product gains new capabilities
The connector and agentic automations bring AI into concrete operational activities.
Clients help guide development
Individual conversations and workshops bring technological evolution closer to the problems people face at work.
