## About

Tricion Consultancy is the consultancy of Ivan van der Schuit (artist name Ya Boi Ivan), a developer, consultant, and music producer based in the Netherlands. Tricion builds automation, API integrations, internal tools, AI-assisted workflows, and custom web systems for businesses that need cleaner operations and reliable digital execution.

Because Ivan is also the founder and CEO of 99Eyes Entertainment LLC — a live, fast-scaling music label — Tricion has a proven specialty in label infrastructure: the products are validated against a real, operating label, not theory.

### Philosophy

Every manual process is revenue leakage. Every copy-paste is operational drag. Businesses and labels should be scaling margins, not headcount. Tricion builds the systems that make this possible.

### Background

Ivan has navigated distributor requirements, royalty tracking, and release logistics firsthand as a label owner and artist, and has enterprise IT experience (Microsoft 365 migrations, PowerShell automation). He combines this operational experience with systems architecture to build solutions that address real pain points.

## Services

### 01. Automation & Integrations
API integrations, data workflows, browser automation (Playwright), and scripted business operations that turn repeated manual work into reliable systems.

### 02. Web Systems & Internal Tools
Dashboards, portals, admin workflows, and custom web applications built on a modern, maintainable stack.

### 03. Technical Consulting & Audits
Workflow audits, implementation planning, vendor evaluation, and technical direction — including support for internal teams.

### 04. AI-Assisted Workflows
AI-assisted routing, summarization, classification, drafting, research, and MCP-style tool workflows with human review where it matters.

### 05. Music-Industry Tooling (Specialty)
Custom middleware between artists and distributors: automated ingestion, metadata validation, distribution automation, and royalty tracking infrastructure. Example: TricionForce, the label-operations platform that powers 99Eyes Entertainment.

**Typical project range:** €2,000–€10,000 depending on scope, integrations, and risk. Audits and consulting are scoped smaller. Work is quoted at a fixed project price.

**Tech stack:** Next.js, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Playwright, AI APIs.
