What we do

Find what's worth fixing. Build it. Keep improving.

Everything we do for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors starts with the AI Roadmap. After that, every piece of work is quoted before you commit to it.

Where all our work starts

AI Roadmap

A completely bespoke AI strategy for your business. We spend time on site with the people who do the work, then take you through the plan in person.

What you get

  • The best opportunities, each with the saving we expect
  • Visuals of your tools with your branding
  • Quick wins, including tools we don't sell
  • The bigger jobs, each with a cost, a timeline and a payback
  • Your AI Guide & Policies, ready for the board
Grant funding may cover part of the cost of your AI Roadmap. We'll show you which grants fit and help you apply.
Fixed fee£1,000 comes off your first build or quarterly plan if you go ahead within 30 days

AI Guide & Policies

Policies and Guidelines that set out where AI fits in your business, which tools your staff may use, and how customer data is kept safe.

What you get

  • Where AI fits over the next 12 to 18 months, and where it doesn't
  • Which tools staff can use, and for what
  • How customer and supplier data is protected
  • What to do first, what it costs, and what good looks like
Useful when: someone has already started using AI on their own. This brings it into the open and gives the board something to sign off.

Build

Custom tools and software

Software built around how your people work. We build what you need, replace what isn't working, or put a simple front end on a system you can't afford to replace. We code it with the latest AI models, up to 90% faster and more accurately than conventional development, and pass the savings on to you.

What you get

  • Tools shaped by the people who'll use them
  • A clear quote first, with what it costs to run
  • Hosted by us, or on your own systems if you prefer
For example: a CRM for a distributor's sales reps. Customers, calls, orders and prices on a phone, in the van.

Time back

Digital Automation & Workflows

We take the repeated steps out of a job, so your people do the part that needs a person.

What you get

  • A list agreed each quarter, with the days and the saving for each
  • Progress and savings reported every week
  • New wins added as we find them
For example: orders that arrive by email or PDF go straight into your system. Supplier invoices are matched automatically. The weekly sales report writes itself.

Foundations

Connecting your systems

AI can only use data it can reach, and most businesses have theirs spread across systems that don't talk to each other. We connect the systems you already have, without replacing them.

What you get

  • Accounts, orders and stock connected, so the data is in one place
  • Clean data that automations can run on
  • No rip and replace. We work with what you've already paid for
For example: your accounts package, order book and stock system each hold their own version of a customer. We make them agree.

AI Specific Training Coming soon

Sessions for your team, from what AI actually is to how to use it safely with customer data.

What you get

  • Half a day or a full day, on site, pitched at the people who'll use it
  • The tools we'd actually recommend, including the free ones
  • Clear rules on customer and supplier data
For example: a half-day for the office team on using AI safely, and what never to paste into a chatbot.

Keep improving

Hosting and upkeep

We keep what we build running: hosting, fixes, updates when your other systems change, and small tweaks each month.

What you get

  • Secure hosting, or your own systems if you'd rather
  • Fixes when something breaks, usually before you notice
  • Updates when your accounts or stock system changes
  • Two to three hours a month of small changes
For example: your accounts package updates and the link breaks. We fix it. The sales team wants an extra field on the order screen. That's covered.

Ongoing support

A number to call, and a quarterly plan that keeps working through your list of improvements.

What you get

  • A support line for everything we've built, and anything in-house we look after
  • Plans of 2, 4 or 8 days a month: the work agreed a quarter at a time, billed monthly
  • A three-month minimum, then month to month: move up or down a plan, or stop. What we've built keeps running on upkeep
For example: one quarter's list might be supplier invoices matched automatically, a sales report that writes itself, and a safety checklist for the yard.

Prices

Clear scope, clear cost, every time.

Every job has a price and a scope before it starts. Grants from Invest NI and others may cover part of the work. We'll point you to the ones that fit and help you apply.
