AI consultancy and automation

Less manual work. Less waiting.

We build your company's software. And you own it: no per-user licences.

We advise companies on where AI can improve their operations and how they serve customers, then redesign the work, automate the repetitive tasks and build the software to make it happen.

Bring us a costly tool, stalled AI initiative, knowledge bottleneck, or broken workflow. We will tell you honestly whether there is a fit.

What we do

Our work, in plain terms

  • AI strategy and leadership alignment
  • Workflow and operating model redesign
  • Company knowledge systems
  • Systems integration and automation
  • SaaS replacement and client-owned software
  • Production delivery, adoption, and handover

Work already delivered

Delivered engagements

Four anonymised engagements, shown separately from our demos.

01Professional services · UK
The problem

Four rented systems across CRM, workforce, payroll, and marketing email carried a high recurring per-seat cost; access was rationed to keep the bill down.

What was built

One owned system replacing all four, with an AI assistant over company data and client self-service ordering by chat.

The outcome

The owned system replaced four rented systems and gave the whole team access.

02Commerce
The problem

Customers phoned every day asking where their orders were; staff checked the courier account by hand.

What was built

A WhatsApp bot connected to the company's courier account. Customers ask in chat and get live delivery status.

The outcome

Customers could retrieve live delivery status in their preferred channel, reducing routine calls and manual courier checks.

03Construction logistics · UK
The problem

Several people copied names and expiry dates from photographed safety cards and certificates into a spreadsheet every week.

What was built

A pipeline that reads each card and certificate, extracts the holder, card type, and expiry date, and shows every worker's status in one searchable dashboard.

The outcome

About 2,900 documents were brought into one place, with a date captured on 97% of them and the rest listed for a person to check.

04Charity · UK
The problem

Its websites and online course sat on separate platforms, and it had lost admin access to one of them.

What was built

A new multilingual website and a private archive for its teaching recordings, on hosting and domain accounts the organisation owns.

The outcome

Handed over in September with a written guide; the organisation's administrator now uses the archive under her own account.

Featured solutions

Operating problems worth solving

Clients engage through our three services. These are high-value solutions we investigate and deliver when the economics and operating case are strong.

01 / Enquiries and customers

Answer every enquiry without the wait

We build a system that captures each enquiry from your website or WhatsApp, qualifies it, replies straight away and prepares a draft quote for a person to review.

  • Each enquiry recorded once, with the details your team needs to quote
  • Prices and quotes always approved by a person before they go out

  • Budget range given
  • Within the service area
  • Photos attached

Reply sent with two visit slots from your calendar and what to have ready.

02 / SaaS and manual work

Replace costly SaaS and manual workflows

We compare the full operating economics of keeping, configuring, integrating, renegotiating, replacing, or stopping. When ownership creates more value, we deliver software built around the work.

  • Licence, implementation, migration, maintenance, adoption, and switching costs considered together
  • Per-seat limits removed only when the wider business case supports replacement
Discuss this problem
Typical starting point
  • Separate tools
  • Copying between systems
  • Per-seat licences
Possible outcome
  • One connected workflow
  • Shared operating record
  • Software you own
03 / Obranext Company Brain

Make scattered company knowledge usable

Turn what your company knows into work people can trust. The Obranext Memory-to-Work Method gives the right people trusted access to knowledge spread across documents, messages, meetings, and business systems.

  • Reuse past work faster, with shorter proposal, support, onboarding, response, and decision cycles
  • Answers supported by the company's trusted sources, with less dependence on the person who remembers everything

How do we approve a supplier invoice?

Check it against the purchase order and goods-receipt record. Send any mismatch to Finance before approval.

Obranext Value-to-Work Method

Value first. Then the work.

We start with the business outcome and the way work really happens. Only then do we decide whether to buy, integrate, build, or stop.

From direction to production

A clear path from decision to measured change

  1. 01

    Align

    Shared priority, sponsor and success measure

  2. 02

    Blueprint

    Workflow map, business case and costed plan

  3. 03

    Decide

    Recommendation: buy, integrate, build or stop

  4. 04

    Deliver

    One agreed workflow running in production

  5. 05

    Measure and hand over

    Baseline comparison, training and handover pack

If the case passes, a 90-Day AI Transformation puts one priority workflow or tightly connected operating area into production, subject to agreed scope, access, data, APIs, and decision speed.

Three ways to engage Obranext

Start where the decision requires. Owner-run businesses are welcome too: we work directly with the person who decides.

01

AI Direction Workshop

Leadership working session

Start here ifYour leadership team needs to agree what AI should change first.

A tailored session that aligns leaders on what AI should change, where to investigate first, and how the next decision will be made.

  • Tailored preparation with selected interviews and materials
  • One shared business problem, sponsor, and decision principles
  • Executive decision memo with three priority areas and the next question
Discuss the Workshop
03

90-Day AI Transformation

One priority workflow or connected operating area

Start here ifYou have an accepted Blueprint or equivalent, and a priority workflow ready for implementation.

We implement the agreed operating change in production and measure it against the baseline. Delivery may combine process redesign, integration, automation, AI, and custom software.

  • Requires an Obranext Blueprint or accepted equivalent
  • Schedule depends on agreed scope, access, data, APIs, and client decisions
  • Production handover, training, controls, and initial value review
Discuss the Transformation
Commercial model

How we charge

We use fixed fees for an agreed scope. The quote reflects the work, value, complexity, risk, delivery conditions, and market context, so we agree it privately before work begins.

Fit call
There is no charge for an initial fit call. It establishes fit and scope; it is not a consulting session.
Workshop and Blueprint
Each is a paid, standalone engagement. We agree the scope, outcome, fee, and payment schedule before work begins.
90-Day AI Transformation
Quoted only after an accepted Obranext Operating Blueprint or equivalent. The implementation has its own agreed scope and fee.
Separate costs
Third-party software, infrastructure, travel, taxes, and specialist advice are identified and agreed separately.
Software you own
Software we build for you carries no Obranext per-seat licence.
Start with fit

Bring us the operating problem AI has not solved

Tell us about a costly tool, broken workflow, stalled AI initiative, or knowledge bottleneck. Tell us where company knowledge is slowing your business down. We will have an honest fit discussion about what should happen next.

The first conversation

A first conversation clarifies the problem, checks whether we are a fit and identifies the next decision. No detailed brief needed.
