AI is everywhere. Results aren't. We fix that.
Verona AI designs and builds automation, data systems and practical AI for Northern Ireland's manufacturers, wholesalers and logistics operators. Working software, measured results, no black boxes.
How a Verona private AI system works
One delivery docket, start to finish, on infrastructure you control. This is what we mean by private AI.
It starts as paper.
Dockets, invoices, orders, customs forms, spec sheets. Somebody in your business retypes them into the ERP every single day, and the detail disappears into a filing cabinet afterwards.
Your AI reads it, in-house.
Every field found, checked against your rules and matched to the right supplier, job or purchase order. The model runs on infrastructure you control, so the document never leaves the business.
Your systems get the data, live.
Posted straight into the ERP, accounts package or stock system the moment it arrives, then indexed so anyone can ask a plain-English question about it later.
Your team gets the hours back.
Ten to fifteen hours a week on one paperwork process is a realistic target for a goods-in office. We agree the number with you during discovery, then report against it.
What we build
One private platform. The applications you actually need.
We install the AI capability inside your business, connect it securely to the systems and files you already run, then build the applications that earn their keep.
Document & knowledge search
Contracts, specs, dockets, procedures, certificates and years of email, searchable in plain English. Answers come back with the source document attached, from your own files.
Order & document processing
Orders, invoices, delivery dockets and customs paperwork read, checked against your rules and posted into your systems. Exceptions go to a person; the rest just flows.
Stock & demand forecasting
What to order, what to make and what is about to run short, built from your own sales history, live order book and supplier lead times instead of last year's spreadsheet.
Production & quality control
Vision checks at line speed, downtime predicted before it bites and scheduling that protects margin on every shift. Built around your plant, not a vendor's template.
Reporting, compliance & admin
The weekly pack written before anyone gets in. Traceability, audit trails and regulatory returns prepared from your records rather than chased around the building.
Sales & customer insight
Which accounts are slipping, which quotes convert, which lines make money and who to call this week. All of it from data you already hold and rarely get to use.
Private AI, and why it matters
Most AI tools ask you to hand your order book, your margins and your customer list to somebody else's platform and hope for the best. We build the capability inside your business instead: your own models, your own data, connected to the systems you already run, and yours to keep when we walk out the door. Your data. Your systems. Your AI.

All industriesHow an engagement runs

AI Discovery
£2,500 to £5,000
We audit how your operation actually runs: the systems, the spreadsheets, the paperwork and the jobs that eat people's weeks. You get a ranked list of AI opportunities, each one costed, with the return we would expect and the ones we would leave alone.
Implementation
£15,000 to £40,000+
Your private AI platform installed and connected securely to your ERP, files, databases and email, running on site, in a private cloud or a hybrid of the two. Then the first application built on top of it, live on real data and measured against the baseline we agreed.
Managed AI

Support, monitoring, security and model updates, with your team trained to run the system day to day. We keep improving what is live and build the next application when the business is ready for it.
