Systems & AI Advisory
Independent Advice. No Software to Sell.
Practical systems and AI consulting for businesses choosing a system, preparing for one, or getting more from the one they have.
Don't start with the tool. Start with the work.
Most businesses get this backwards. They buy the software, then try to work out what to do with it. Your core systems run everything: your ERP (finance, stock, sales and operations in one place), your CRM (customers and sales), your MRP (production planning) and your HSMS (health and safety system). Get them wrong and you live with it for years.
Sometimes the problem isn't the system at all. It's culture. A new system won't change how people work together. The old problem moves into the new system, and now it's expensive.
I've implemented multiple ERP, CRM and MRP systems across manufacturing, construction, retail and not-for-profits. I don't sell any of them. My advice is about your business, not a sales target.
I'm practical, not technical. But I speak both languages. I sit between your business and the vendor, and turn what you need into what the system must do.
Process first. Then systems. Then AI. AI doesn't fix broken processes or messy data. It speeds up good ones.

Service Pillars:
The right system starts well before you sign. When looking at Systems & AI Advisory, I focus on these four areas:
Before You Buy: I map your processes and write down what you need. I help you prepare your team and your data. You'll know what to expect, what it will cost and what it will ask of your people.
Choosing the Right Fit: I cut through a loud, crowded market. I help you pick the systems that fit your processes, your size and your budget. Not the one with the best sales pitch.
Through Go-Live and Beyond: I stay on your side of the table. I keep the project on track and your people ready for the change. Already live, and it never quite worked? I find out why and fix it.
Adding AI: Once your processes and data are sound, AI can take on real work. I help leadership decide where it fits, set clear rules for data, privacy and safe use, and roll it out so it sticks.
