Human centric automation

Freek & Lennart, co-founders of Autrun, started their professional journey in core tech and SAP environments, where they gained invaluable expertise in complex software architecture and understanding the intricacies of business processes. Their desire to build great things led them to the founding of Mincko in 2013, an agency dedicated to leveraging cutting-edge solutions like Google Workspace, Google Cloud, and monday.com.

With a decade of experience as architects who know how businesses actually operate, they recognized the need to bridge the gap between powerful new technology and tangible business value. This expertise is further strengthened by our long-standing collaboration with our dedicated engineering team based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Automation shouldn't come with unnecessary complexity

Autrun was founded on the belief that robust, enterprise-grade automation shouldn't come with unnecessary complexity or financial burden. We are a no-nonsense agency focused on delivering pragmatic, business-focused automation solutions. We help organizations replace expensive, rigid systems with elegant, maintainable solutions by leveraging best-in-class technology and expertise.

Our direct, results-driven approach focuses on maximizing business impact and building long-term value. We strategically deploy technologies like AI and agentic systems when they are the most efficient path to an intelligent, future-proof solution, ensuring your operations are both efficient and future-ready.How We Deliver Business Impact

Our approach

We transform operational liabilities into strategic assets

Our team combines deep technical mastery with an agile, business-centric delivery model focused on two key metrics for you: maximizing speed of delivery and minimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), both within boundaries of quality and security.

Agile Engineering

We utilize 'vibe coding'—the efficiency and agility of modern low-code development—to accelerate deployment. This allows us to deliver enterprise-grade quality at the speed and affordability of a focused expert team.

The Modern Stack

We build robust systems using the world's most powerful integration and backend platforms. This includes leveraging our partnership-level expertise in Make, and deep proficiency with tools like n8n, Xano, Supabase, and front-end builders like WeWeb, Flutterflow and more recently, AI accelerated software development.

Maintainability First

Unlike fragile, fragmented systems, our solutions are architected for longevity and scale. This disciplined approach ensures your automation asset remains reliable, reducing long-term maintenance costs and future-proofing your operations.

Beyond business

When they're not optimizing business logic, you can find Freek in Mechelen, proving that an "average cyclist fanatic" can still be a dedicated father of two young daughters. Lennart, based in Halle, balances the complexities of raising young adults with his passions for snowboarding and talking to the skies as a private pilot. We believe that building enduring systems requires balance—in business and in life.
