№ 02The brief

The brief

Your team in Stretford spends hours every week on tasks a machine could handle in seconds — chasing updates, copying data between systems, sending follow-ups, sorting emails. That is not just annoying, it is costing you money and burning out good people. We build AI agents that take care of the repetitive work so your people can focus on the skilled work you actually hired them for. For one manufacturing client, we automated the entire production workflow — from manager assignment and customer scheduling through to glass ordering and delivery notes — so nothing falls through the cracks, even when the team is flat out. The result: 10 to 30 hours saved every week and zero missed orders.

№ 05Why Stretford

Why Stretford

What Stretford businesses actually get from us, in plain English.

Trafford Park is one of the largest concentrations of manufacturing, logistics, and engineering SMEs in Europe, and Stretford is its gateway. The businesses here share a defining admin problem: high-volume, structured workflows running across multiple disconnected systems. Purchase orders in one place, delivery notes in another, supplier invoices in a third, your accounts package in a fourth. Reconciling all of it is somebody's full-time job, and that someone could be doing more valuable work.

We've shipped AI agent systems for UK manufacturers running real production. For one fabricator, we automated the entire production workflow — manager assignment, customer scheduling, supplier ordering, delivery notes — saving 10 to 30 hours a week and eliminating missed orders. The same patterns work for Trafford Park businesses: three-way invoice matching, automated PO generation, production scheduling, customer status comms, engineering drawing-to-BOM extraction. Every one of these has a clear, measurable ROI.

Our Tameside base is 25 minutes from Stretford via the M60 — one of our closest non-Tameside areas. We come on site for workflow audits and key reviews. AI agent projects start at £2,000 fixed-price for a focused automation; most manufacturers end up at £5,000-£15,000 across multiple workflows. Quoted up front, fixed-price, no surprises.

№ 06Questions

Questions

AI Agents & Automation in Stretford — FAQ.

01 Can AI agents help my Stretford business?

Yes — if your team spends time on repetitive admin, data entry, or chasing updates, AI agents can handle that work automatically. We audit your workflows first and only recommend automation where it delivers a clear return.

02 How much do AI agents cost?

Projects start from around two thousand pounds for a focused automation. Most businesses invest between five and fifteen thousand pounds for multi-workflow automation covering several processes. We provide a fixed quote after the initial audit.

03 Will AI replace our staff?

No — AI agents handle the tedious tasks your team should not be doing. Your people get freed up to do more valuable work. Most of our clients tell us their staff appreciate it because they spend less time on admin.

04 How long does it take to set up?

Simple automations can be live within one to two weeks. More complex setups covering multiple workflows typically take four to eight weeks from kickoff.

05 Can AI handle our engineering drawings / spec sheets?

Yes — drawing-to-BOM extraction is one of our flagship automations. We've built systems that read PDF and image-based engineering drawings, extract part numbers, dimensions, materials, and quantities, and generate the BOM automatically. 95%+ accuracy on most drawing formats.

06 How does this compare to the ERP add-ons our software vendor offers?

Vendor add-ons are usually generic AI bolted onto existing software with limited integration. We build custom automation around how your business actually runs. Often the two are complementary — vendor AI for the easy stuff, custom automation for the workflows that move the needle.
