9x and no-code are making builders out of businesses

Behind the door of a nondescript office in east Berlin, a revolution is underway.

9x, a consultancy founded by Alexandre Kantjas, is helping fast-growing companies harness the power of no-code automation to streamline processes, boost efficiency and unlock their full potential.

After witnessing the transformative impact of no-code tools for himself, inspired by his experiences, he founded 9x to empower others businesses to embrace automation and digitization without relying solely on technical teams.

9x's approach is simple yet profound: equip teams with the knowledge and tools to build solutions themselves. Through comprehensive training programs, 9x demystifies the world of no-code, enabling employees from diverse departments—operations, HR, marketing, and beyond—to become builders.

One of 9x's standout success stories is its partnership with Circula. Over the past two years, 9x has trained Circula's teams to leverage no-code tools like Make, Airtable, Bildr and Bubble to automate workflows and solve complex problems rapidly.

Manuel Ensinger, head of operations at Circula, attributes his technology education journey to Alexandre and 9x. "Through starting to work with Alexandre Kantjas and later 9x, I realized that all this is not a black box and that it is possible to quickly learn basic concepts," he shares.

The results speak for themselves. Circula now has over 120 active Make scenarios, utilizing 140,000 operations each month and connecting more than 25 software tools. It has become an integral part of its onboarding process, empowering new joiners to contribute to process improvements from day one.

9x's impact extends far beyond Circula. It offers automation consulting, project implementation, and strategic advice to fast-growing companies seeking to optimize their operations. By identifying potential builders within teams and providing them with the necessary skills, 9x is fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

So much so that 9x is a designated Make Partner, one of a select group of companies helping customers build and implement automation solutions and streamline processes using Make.

Make Partners like 9x benefit from close and regular cooperation with Make, including their own platform training, certification, information on latest features and custom testing environments.

That means Make customers like Circula who choose from the nearly-300 accredited Make Partners will get the highest level of help to operationalize efficiencies on their automation odyssey.

As Alexandre reflects on 9x's journey, he emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals. "When you put a tool like Make in the hands of creative people, there's a lot more possible than in a startup where the only people able to automate are the people in the tech team," he remarks.

With its expertise in no-code tools and their commitment to empowering businesses, 9x is helping advance the no-code revolution, one automation at a time.
