AI implementation · United Kingdom

Most companies don't have an AI problem.They have a “where would we even start” problem.

We find the two or three places in a business like yours where AI actually pays back, and then we build them.

For UK companies of 50 to 999 people. No obligation, and no slide deck.

The work AI is good at usually looks like this: repetitive, written down, and already costing someone their morning.

The problem, in their words

What people actually say before they buy this

We read 400 published AI projects and counted the reasons companies gave for starting. Almost nobody said “we wanted AI”. They said one of these three things.

36% of cases

Too much of the work is still manual

Someone copies figures from one system into another every morning. Someone else checks that they did it right.

It works. It also costs you two salaries and nobody can take a holiday without it slipping.

24% of cases

Everything takes too long

A quote takes three days because it waits on one person who is in meetings.

Customers ask where things are. The honest answer is that it is sitting in an inbox.

14% of cases

Too many things get missed

A renewal date passes. An invoice goes out with the wrong figure on it.

Nobody is careless. There is simply more detail than a team of this size can hold in its head.

Government statistics put a number on the rest of it. 42% of mid-sized firms say they cannot identify the activities where AI could be applied. Not cost. Not skills. Just not being able to see where it fits.

What we actually build

Four things, in the order companies buy them

We don't build everything. These are the four that hold up in a business of your size.

01

Customer-facing assistants, on chat and phone

Routine enquiries get answered straight away, so your team spends its day on the ones that need a person.

A regional plumbing and heating firm: bookings, reschedules and “when is the engineer coming?” handled without ringing the office.

02

Document and paperwork automation

Reads what arrives, sorts it, pulls out the figures that matter and drafts the reply.

A freight forwarder: delivery notes and customs paperwork read on arrival and matched to the right job.

03

Sales and CRM automation

Follow-up that happens whether or not someone remembers to do it.

A commercial window manufacturer: every quote over £5,000 chased on day three and day ten, with the notes written up.

04

Operations automation

Connects the systems that don't talk to each other, so the retyping stops.

A food wholesaler: orders from four different channels landing in one stock system without anyone rekeying them.

How we work

Three steps. The first one is the product.

Step oneTwo weeks · fixed fee · £6,500 + VAT

Discovery

We spend two weeks mapping where the hours go. We sit with the people doing the work, follow a handful of processes end to end, and count.

You get back a shortlist: what is worth automating, what isn't, what it would cost and what it should return. It is a document you can act on with or without us.

This is paid work, not a free consultation. That is deliberate. A free audit is a sales meeting wearing a coat.

Step two

Build one thing, properly

We take the strongest item off the shortlist and build it. One process, running in your business, used by your team. Typically six to ten weeks.

Step three

Hand over, or stay on

We document it and train your people. If you want us to keep running it, we will. If you'd rather own it outright, that is the better outcome.

Straight answers

What we'll tell you that others won't

We aim for 20 to 30%, not 50

Most vendors publish results claiming half the work disappears. We target 20 to 30% on one specific process, because that is the figure that survives contact with a real team six months later.

Sometimes the answer is software you can just buy

Plenty of problems are solved by a £40-a-month tool and someone changing a habit. When that is the case we will tell you, and we will name the tool.

If discovery finds nothing worth building, we stop

You keep the map of where your hours go, which is worth having on its own. We part ways and there is no build phase to talk you into.

Who we work with

Businesses that run on process and paperwork

We don't work with tech startups. They build this in-house, and they should.

Transport and logistics
Paperwork per load, and a phone that rings all day asking where things are.
Retail and e-commerce
Order and returns volume that spikes hard, with a support team of fixed size.
Manufacturing
Quotes, specifications and job sheets that pass through too many hands.
Energy and utilities
Meter data, compliance reporting and long service chains to keep straight.
Construction
Variations, valuations and site records spread across email and paper.
Professional services
Heavy document work billed by the hour, where the hours are the constraint.

Results

Three examples, with unremarkable numbers

Client names are being confirmed before publication. The figures are the ones measured after the first full quarter.

The situation

A logistics operator with 140 staff. Three people spent most of each morning matching proof-of-delivery documents to invoices.

What we built

A document reader that matches paperwork to jobs and flags only what doesn't line up.

What changed

Matching time down 26%. The exceptions queue is now the job, rather than the whole pile.

They talked us out of two of the four things we asked for. That is when I started trusting the other two.

Client nameOperations Director, logistics — quote to be added

The situation

A specialist retailer, 60 staff. Around 400 customer emails a week, most of them asking the same six things.

What we built

An assistant on the website and email inbox that answers the routine six and hands over the rest.

What changed

First-response time down from 9 hours to under 20 minutes on 22% of enquiries.

The situation

A building products manufacturer, 310 staff. Quotes over a certain value were being followed up inconsistently.

What we built

Automated follow-up tied to the CRM, with call notes drafted for the salesperson.

What changed

Quote conversion up 4 percentage points across two quarters. Modest, and it held.
