Melbourne, VIC
AI consulting in Melbourne
We sit with the people doing the work in Melbourne businesses, find where the hours go and build the two or three things that change it. Discovery is on site. The roadmap is priced before you commit.
What we see in Melbourne
Melbourne is still the manufacturing capital of Australia. Food and beverage, packaging, fabrication and advanced manufacturing run out through Dandenong South, Laverton and the west. Most of it runs on an ERP that was set up a decade ago and a set of spreadsheets that grew around it. Production planning, quoting and quality paperwork are where the repeated hours sit.
The Port of Melbourne is the busiest container port in the country. The freight, 3PL and wholesale operations around Truganina, Derrimut and Dandenong carry a heavy load of manual document work. On the construction side, the Big Build program and a steady housing pipeline keep builders busy. Tier 2 and Tier 3 builders and their subcontractors feel it most on estimating and claims.
Where the hours go
The work we find first
Quoting from drawings and specs
Fabricators and manufacturers pricing custom jobs by hand, with margin decided by whoever quotes it that day.
Freight documents and PODs
Consignment notes, PODs and carrier invoices matched manually, with disputes chased by email weeks later.
Quality and compliance records
Batch records, test certificates and safety paperwork kept in folders. When an auditor asks, nobody can search them.
Industries
Who we work with in Melbourne
Each of these has its own page covering where the hours go, what we typically build and the systems we usually meet.
How it works
- 01
Discovery
An intro call on your objectives and goals, then we sit with your team to learn the business and how the work runs today. We agree the decision the system supports and the one metric that says it works.
- 02
Ground the data
We find where the data lives, who owns it and whether it reconciles, and plan where the data and the model will sit.
- 03
Prototype and evaluate
We build on your real data and score the output against an evaluation set from your own past cases before it carries load.
- 04
Integrate
It goes into the workflow and your systems of record, with review points where an error costs money, monitoring and an audit trail.
- 05
Operate and hand over
We run it with your team, then hand over the code, the evaluation suite, runbooks and training. It is not finished until you are satisfied.
Questions
Do you work on site in Melbourne?
Yes. Discovery is done on site with the people doing the work. For manufacturers that usually means time on the floor and in the office, not just with the leadership team.
Can you work with our existing ERP?
Almost always. Most of what we build sits alongside the system you already run, reading from it and writing back to it, rather than replacing it. We tell you if the system itself is the problem.
How do we start?
Book a 30 minute intro call. We talk through objectives, timeframes and what success looks like, then scope a discovery period and quote it before anything begins.
Next step
We map where your hours go and price the work that is worth automating.
