Where AI helps in Newport's economy
Newport is home to manufacturers and engineering firms, warehousing and distribution businesses along the M4 corridor, professional services firms, and large public sector employers and the suppliers around them. In each, the work that eats the most time is rarely the specialist task itself. It is the paperwork around it.
Workflows we can help with
- Manufacturing and engineering. Matching supplier invoices to purchase orders, linking delivery notes and test results to batches, and pulling audit evidence together without a week of searching. See our approaches to invoice reconciliation and production traceability.
- Logistics and distribution. Reading proof-of-delivery notes and order emails into your system, flagging shortages and mismatches for a person to resolve, and answering routine "where is my order" questions.
- Professional services. Credit control, client onboarding checks and first drafts of routine letters, with a person reviewing what leaves the firm. See how an accountancy firm automated credit control.
- Public sector suppliers. Organising the evidence that tenders and contract reports ask for, and drafting from your own approved material.
How an engagement with a Newport business runs
- Free review, online. A first consultation on your tools and the jobs that take the most time.
- A day on site. If it is worth going further, a fixed-price Discovery Day at your premises: we map the workflow with the people who do it and set up one quick win.
- A measured pilot. One workflow, inside your own systems, measured against today's baseline.
- Hand-over. Rules, training and a named owner, or ongoing support from a Personal Forward Deployed AI Engineer.
People stay in control
Automation handles the routine and flags the exceptions. A person in your team approves anything that changes a payment, a delivery, a customer record or a regulated document. Data stays in your existing systems where possible, and UK GDPR is checked at the start.
Prices
The first review is free. A Discovery Day at your Newport premises is £950 + VAT, fixed. Pilots and wider work are quoted in writing after the review.
When we are not the right fit
We have no Newport office and no Newport client story to show you yet. If you need a provider with a local office, or a long list of Newport references, another firm will suit you better. If you need a large, multi-year AI team, an in-house hire or a bigger consultancy is the better answer.

Questions we are often asked
Do you have an office in Newport?
No. Our team works from Cardiff, at Unit 15 Workbench, Neptune Court, Vanguard Way. We travel to Newport for on-site work and hold most first conversations online.
Can you come to our site in Newport?
Yes. Discovery Days and workshops run at your premises, so we can see the process and meet the people who run it.
We are a small firm. Is AI worth it for us?
Sometimes not yet, and we will say so. The free review looks at the tools you already pay for first; a better-connected spreadsheet or form can beat a new AI product.
Which systems do you work with?
Microsoft 365, common accounting and CRM platforms, shared inboxes and the spreadsheets most firms really run on. We confirm what connects to what during the review.
