Forward Deployed Engineering
An engineer inside your business, shipping automations and AI agents against savings you can measure.
Most companies know where the time goes. Manual data entry, invoices reconciled by hand, support tickets triaged one by one, systems that don't talk to each other. The problem isn't knowing. It's having someone who can build the fix while the business keeps running. We embed a senior engineer in your operations. They map the processes, build the integrations, automations, and agents that remove the work, and stay until the savings are real.
What we've shipped
Maritime brokerage. Excel to intelligence platform.
A ship repair broker ran its entire operation out of a multi-sheet spreadsheet. We replaced it with a platform tracking 6,381 vessels and 699 companies, with live vessel positions, a 24 month drydock opportunity finder, and an AI layer that turns inbound emails into draft inquiries automatically.
Clinics. An AI receptionist that never misses a call.
Callen AI answers, triages, and schedules patient calls around the clock, so front desk staff handle care instead of the phone.
What this looks like for you
Accounting practice. Invoice intake on autopilot.
An embedded engineer connects the inbox to the accounting system, uses an AI agent to extract and match line items against purchase orders, and routes only the exceptions to a human. Around 80 percent of invoices processed with no touch at all.
Logistics operator. Quotes in minutes, not hours.
An agent reads the request, pulls rates and availability from the TMS, drafts the quote for one click approval, and logs it back into the CRM. Same team, three to four times the quote volume.
How it works
- 01
Savings Audit
One week, fixed fee. We baseline your two or three most expensive processes in hours and cost, and deliver a written savings map you keep whether or not you continue.
- 02
Embedded Engineering
A dedicated engineer, two days a week, three month minimum. From simple code automation and system integrations to fully deployed AI agents, prioritised by return.
- 03
Shared Upside
Your results are measured against the audit baseline. We take a capped share of first year savings, so our incentive is the same as yours.
What we build
Workflow automation that removes manual steps. Integrations between the tools you already use. AI agents for intake, scheduling, document processing, and customer communication. Internal tooling your team actually adopts.
Who it's for
Operators in healthcare, accounting, logistics, and services with 10 to 200 people. Founders who need engineering capacity without a hire. Portfolio companies where operational efficiency is the thesis.
Start with the audit.
One week. A clear map of what to automate and what it's worth.
