We build AI agents and automation systems for Sheffield businesses, working from Chesterfield — close enough that in-person kickoffs happen the same day if you need them. Every project is fixed-price, scoped within 48 hours.
Same-day on-site kickoff possible across S1–S35. Typical door-to-door from our base is 30 minutes via the M1 or A61.
Process Audit
£1,500
Fixed fee. Credited in full against your build if you proceed within 60 days. In-person kickoff at no extra charge for Sheffield clients.
See Audit DetailsSheffield's economy is unusually well-suited to automation work. The advanced-manufacturing cluster around the AMRC, Tata Steel R&D, and the Sheffield Technology Parks runs on a deep stack of legacy and modern systems that rarely talk to each other natively. Healthcare and life sciences (Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the Children's Hospital, Sheffield Hallam research) run on similar challenges at a different scale. And the city's growing professional-services sector — from creative agencies in Kelham Island to fintech and SaaS startups — typically has lean ops teams that can't afford full-time integration engineers. We work with all three.
Areas We Cover
Not listed? We work across the wider South Yorkshire — call to confirm.
Sheffield's specialist engineering and steel-derived manufacturing sector — including AMRC supply chain, aerospace contractors, and precision metalwork — generates more shop-floor data than most have a way to use. Automation wins: production reporting, quality data pipelines, supplier integrations, schedule optimisation.
Hospital trusts, dental groups, private clinics, and MedTech startups in Sheffield typically run a patchwork of clinical, finance, and patient-comms systems. Common projects: appointment-to-finance automation, AI-summarised clinical communications, regulated-data pipeline work.
Creative agencies, SaaS startups, accounting practices, and recruitment firms in Sheffield are the fastest-ROI category we see. Inbound-enquiry triage, AI-drafted client comms, finance automation, and document workflows are typical first projects.
We don't sell software subscriptions or retainer hours. We scope your problem, build the solution, and hand you something that runs without you. Fixed prices, fixed scope.

No — we're based in Chesterfield, about 30 minutes south via the M1 or A61. Close enough that we treat Sheffield clients as effectively local: same-day on-site visits, no travel charge.
Yes, regularly. Production data, scheduling, quality reporting, and supplier-integration work are typical projects. The Process Audit is especially useful here because manufacturing automation has a wide range of options — the audit narrows it to what's actually highest-ROI for your specific operation.
Same as anywhere else. Process Audit £1,500 fixed (credited against build). Build projects from £3,000 fixed price. Multi-agent or full-platform builds from £8,000. No travel surcharge for Sheffield.
Yes — we strongly prefer to. The 2-hour Process Audit kickoff in person almost always produces a better result than a video call, because we get to see the actual workflows, the spreadsheets people are working from, and the systems that aren't talking to each other.
Discovery calls are usually within 5 working days of enquiry. The Process Audit takes 1–2 weeks. Build projects start within 2 weeks of a signed quote.
Pick a slot below. We'll talk through your business, identify where there's a clear automation opportunity, and tell you honestly whether the Process Audit is the right next step. Sheffield clients get an in-person kickoff at no extra charge.
