Case studies

Context

Specialist contractors in the construction sector managing thousands of operatives across multiple live projects, facing increasing regulatory pressure around compliance, competence verification, and site safety.

Challenge

Manual, paper-based processes for inductions, document verification, and compliance tracking created admin overhead, audit risk, and poor real-time visibility of who was on site and whether they were cleared to be there.

Work delivered

Designed and built Hooped - a workforce management platform replacing paperwork with a live digital system covering operative onboarding, inductions, competence verification, document management, and real-time site visibility for directors, site managers, and operatives.

Outcome

Thousands of operatives managed across multiple projects with significantly reduced admin, stronger compliance evidence, and real-time workforce visibility for management teams.

Context

A startup building an AI workflow platform aimed at enabling business users and developers to create, test, and deploy LLM-powered automations without deep AI expertise.

Challenge

Designing a system flexible enough for complex workflows, but accessible enough for non-technical users - with production reliability baked in from the start.

Work delivered

Designed and built FlowStudio - a low-code LLM workflow platform with a React interface, Rust backend services, and Python LLM orchestration. Covered rapid prototyping through to production deployment.

Outcome

A production-ready platform used by both business users and developers for real workflow automation at scale.

Context

A large commercial manufacturing and distribution business operating across multiple facilities, with complex requirements around stock, ordering, production planning, and financial integration.

Challenge

Fragmented systems across ERP, warehousing, ordering, and accounting created inefficiencies, reporting delays, and an inability to support demand-driven replenishment across sites.

Work delivered

Designed and delivered an integrated platform covering ERP, WMS, DDMRP-based demand planning, ordering, accounting, product configuration, and management reporting across multiple facilities.

Outcome

Unified operational visibility, reduced stock inefficiencies, accurate demand-driven replenishment, and a single platform replacing multiple disconnected systems.

Context

A national field-service operation with 300+ engineers across 13 branches, relying on legacy systems and paper-based processes for planned maintenance, callouts, and aftercare contract management.

Challenge

Legacy software could not support mobile working, real-time synchronisation, or standardised operations across branches - leading to admin overhead, inconsistent data, and slow customer response.

Work delivered

Replaced legacy field-service systems with a synchronised Android application and aftercare contract platform covering planned maintenance scheduling, callout management, and contract administration across all branches.

Outcome

300+ engineers operating from a single standardised mobile platform, significantly reduced admin overhead, and real-time visibility of field operations across all 13 branches.

Context

A large-scale data-centre and HPC operator requiring real-time power management to respond to grid curtailment events and manage energy loads across infrastructure.

Challenge

Curtailment events require sub-second response times across distributed systems. Existing tooling could not meet latency and reliability requirements.

Work delivered

Built multithreaded, low-latency Rust software for power curtailment across data-centre operations, with secure gRPC communication and a Flutter management application for operations teams.

Outcome

Sub-millisecond curtailment response, reliable operation under load, and a clear management interface for the operations team.

Context

A major aviation freight forwarder operating at US airports, handling time-critical freight with complex regulatory and operational requirements.

Challenge

Disparate systems for booking, pricing, warehousing, and compliance created delays, errors, and audit risk in a highly regulated environment.

Work delivered

Designed and built booking interfaces, real-time pricing engines, warehouse and inventory tracking, third-party integrations, and compliance tooling.

Outcome

Unified freight operations platform, improved booking accuracy, real-time inventory visibility, and stronger regulatory compliance posture.

Context

A fast-growing gifting and novelty e-commerce business with high order volumes, complex fulfilment, and a large call centre operation.

Challenge

Rapid growth exposed limitations in warehouse management, payment processing, and call centre tooling - creating fulfilment delays and customer service failures.

Work delivered

Delivered WMS, call centre tooling, payment gateway integrations, and fulfilment systems covering the full retail operation.

Outcome

Successful scaling of fulfilment operations. The platform was nominated for a retail industry award.
