The Mind behind EF Tech Solutions

Technology at the service of your business

I'm Elder, a Systems Engineer. I code, I manage projects and, above all, I figure things out: for over 10 years my job has been to solve problems that seem to have no solution.

I founded EF Tech Solutions to bring technology solutions to more companies and businesses, helping them go digital, optimise services, improve systems and simplify processes.

I work in Portuguese, English and French, with businesses of any size that don't have an in-house team dedicated to improving their systems.

EF Tech Solutions is the answer if:

  • You know there's a problem in your business, but you don't know how to solve it, or even whether it can be solved.
  • You want a solid digital presence and don't know where to start.
  • You already have a digital presence but feel it doesn't reflect the real quality and capability of your business.
  • You want to use today's tools (including AI) to simplify processes and save time.
  • Your business depends too much on you, or on Excel sheets only you understand.
  • Your IT team keeps things running, but you need someone to innovate and improve what you already have.

What you get:

  • More business results and less weight on your mind.
  • The peace of mind of a system that flows, without everything going through you.
  • Clarity to decide, instead of putting it off for another month.
  • Someone who helps you not just to execute, but to design the solution that fits your needs.

What I've built

Four custom systems for businesses with very concrete problems. For each one: what it was like before and what it does now.

Screenshots use fictitious data.

  1. MiniAcademia

    Children's sports club

    MiniAcademia owner dashboard: active athletes, enrolments, overdue payments, new enrolments per month and weekly attendance rate.
    Coach area on a phone: attendance list for one session, with present, absent or excused for each child.

    Before

    The website was just a shop window. Kids were training without a paid enrolment, and nobody saw the overdue fees. Attendance and coaches' hours were all counted by hand.

    After

    • Parents enrol their child and pay straight away; the place is only held once it's paid.
    • Coaches take attendance on their phone, session by session.
    • The owner sees active athletes, overdue payments and attendance by city on one dashboard.

  2. Ambrósio

    CRM for a branding and tech agency

    Ambrósio automation editor: a flowchart that sends an email, waits three days and splits contacts depending on whether they opened the diagnosis request.
    Quiz results on a phone: responses started, responses completed, completion rate and breakdown by result.

    Before

    Leads came in by email, DMs and sticky notes. Two partners never sure who was meant to call whom. Follow-up emails were written by hand, one by one.

    After

    • Each lead moves across a board by stage, with history and reminders.
    • A quiz on the website sorts new contacts before the first call.
    • Follow-up emails go out on their own, designed as a flowchart, with no code.

  3. SegurosCRM

    CRM for an insurance brokerage team

    Three car insurance quotes side by side, with premium, excess and cover, and the cheapest and lowest-excess options flagged.
    The page a client opens on their phone to send what's missing, with the details already received marked as done.

    Before

    Leads and cases lived in a shared spreadsheet and on WhatsApp. Every client had to be chased for documents. Quotes from different insurers were compared by hand in Excel.

    After

    • Each case shows what's still missing before a quote can be requested.
    • The client gets a link and sends only the documents that are missing.
    • Quotes sit side by side, with the differences flagged and a PDF report.

  4. AgentsEF

    Prospecting for people who sell on their own

    It's the tool I use every day at EF.

    AgentsEF Today screen: business replies waiting to be handled and the day's call list, in order of priority.
    The same Today screen on a phone, with pending replies at the top.

    Before

    Mornings went on searching for businesses on Google Maps. Cold emails all came out the same. And every "call me next week" got lost.

    After

    • Every morning there's a queue for the day: replies, agreed callbacks and calls, in order.
    • One draft email per business, built on facts from its own website, approved in one click.
    • A script for each call, based on what's known about that business.

Tailor-Made Solutions

No two businesses are alike, which is why I don't work with off-the-shelf solutions.

Web Development

Custom websites and platforms that integrate with what you already have, handle growth and load fast. A working tool instead of the platforms everyone complains about.

Mobile Solutions

Access on any screen. Your system working as well on the phone as on the computer, giving your team and clients fast, hassle-free access wherever they are.

Consulting

Before building anything, we figure out together what the real problem is and study the possible solutions. I help you choose the path that reaches your goals without spending money on a solution that doesn't fit or doesn't work.

Performance Optimisation

Slow systems drive clients away and cost money. We start with an audit of what you already have, to improve speed and reduce maintenance costs.

Automation & AI

Repetitive tasks that eat up your team's time (reports, records, data handling, replies, etc.) done automatically. I use automation and AI where it genuinely saves time, freeing people from mechanical work so they can focus on what matters.

How it works

Three steps, from the first call to a solution that works.

  1. We talk for 30 minutes

    A free video call with no strings attached. We talk about your business, what eats up your time and the possible solutions.

  2. You get the next steps

    If I believe I can help, we set up a follow-up meeting or I send you a tailored quote, with what gets done and when.

  3. We build in phases

    You see results early and we adjust along the way, instead of waiting months for a single delivery.

Whether you know exactly what you're looking for, or you're not sure your problem can be solved, talk to me.

The first step is 30 minutes, free and with no commitment.
