What we build, and what makes it work.
The applications come first. The rest is what gets them adopted and kept.
AI applications for operations
The work that arrives in whatever format the customer felt like sending, and the hours someone spends retyping it. Intake and document processing, matching against the systems you run on, exceptions routed to a person. Retyping becomes reviewing. How we do AI implementation in South Africa →
Internal assistants and agentic workflows
Assistants trained on your own data and tools, and workflows that carry a task from start to finish without a person shepherding each step. Built for the people who do the job, with a clear line between what the system decides and what they check.
Customer-facing AI
When the AI sits in the shop window: search that reads a sentence, a booking flow, a members’ portal. The tolerance for getting it wrong is lower, which changes how carefully it is shipped. Hybrid Search on Port2Port →
Data and reporting interfaces
The plumbing underneath that makes any of it worth trusting, and the reporting that shows whether it is working. Unglamorous, and where a lot of the time goes.
Operating strategy
Where the business makes money now, where it should, and how the work has to change to get there. Done with the leadership team, in the room. This is where we find the friction worth fixing.
Product and engineering
A senior product and engineering bench, available as a unit. We embed for the length of a build and stay on lightly after. Your team owns it.
Data and integration
Connecting the application to the ERP, the catalogue, the ticketing tool. Cleaning the product and customer data it depends on. Most AI projects stall here.
Change and enablement
The people whose job changes are in the room from the first workshop. Beta on real work before it becomes the normal way. Training that is about their day, not about the tool.
Capital and M&A
Where a build or a venture needs it: diligence on a target’s technology, deal structuring, capital for a build, integration after the ink dries. Drawn from years inside corporate M&A and investment banking, in service of the work above.
Venture building
For our own ventures only. We take a stake, capitalise and operate businesses in categories we believe we can defend, with our team on the inside from day one.
