Software built around how your business already works.
Internal platforms, portals, integrations and automations for any business, not only retail. We scope it with you, build it, and keep it running.

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI assistants use your own tools and data. We build the server in the middle: the assistant asks, the server checks what it’s allowed to do, and your systems answer.
Each tool the assistant can use is defined up front: read stock, search invoices, create a task. Nothing else is reachable.
Tool calls are logged, so you can see what the assistant looked at and what it changed.
MCP is an open standard supported by Claude and a growing list of AI tools, so you aren’t locked in.
Databases, spreadsheets, accounting packages and APIs, connected where they are.
Before we build AI for anyone else, it runs in our own products in a live store, every day.
A detection model finds every gap on camera and a vision model reads the shelf to explain it.
Owners ask the till questions in plain language and get answers from their own sales and costs.
What was made and wasted, what was spent with suppliers, and what is running low or needs ordering, in plain language.
Tell us what the job is and where it hurts. We’ll say plainly whether we’re the right team.
What we’ll build, what it connects to, how long it takes and what it costs, before any work starts.
Working software early and often, so you shape it while it’s being built.
Hosting, fixes and changes after launch, from the people who built it.
Book a 30-minute call and tell us about the job. We’ll say plainly whether we can help, and how.
