AI automation for Sunderland businesses.
Full code custom AI for automotive, EV manufacturing, and tech. On our doorstep.
Sunderland is built on automotive and advanced manufacturing, anchored by the Nissan plant and a growing EV and battery base, alongside the Sunderland Software City technology cluster. It is also our home market: we are based in Newcastle, twenty minutes away, so on-site delivery here is standard, not occasional.
Built for Sunderland industry.
Sunderland’s manufacturers and tech firms run on documents and data: specifications, quality records, supply-chain paperwork, and internal data. We remove the manual handling so the team works on production and product, not the admin around them.
Automotive and EV manufacturing
For the Nissan plant, the EV and battery base, and their supply chain: production, quality, and supply-chain document processing, certificates of conformity, and inspection records, integrated with your ERP and quality systems and kept private.
Software and technology
For the Sunderland Software City cluster and the city’s digital firms: data pipelines, document and content automation, and private retrieval over internal data, built to integrate rather than add another tool with a ceiling.
Advanced manufacturing
For manufacturers beyond automotive: specification, quality, and supply-chain document processing at scale, so the information is usable the moment a document arrives.
Logistics and supply chain
For logistics and the automotive supply chain around the Port of Sunderland: shipping, customs, and delivery documents turned into clean structured data inside your TMS or ERP.
Professional services
For Sunderland law, accountancy, and consulting firms: document review, proposal and report drafting, and finance back-office automation, built private and audit-logged.
Public sector
For public bodies in the city: subject access request and FOI automation, and continuous compliance monitoring, built private so personal data stays inside your infrastructure.
Private, engineered, and owned by you.
For a manufacturer or technology firm, the integration is everything and the data is sensitive. We build private and on-premise systems where data never leaves your environment, integrated directly with your ERP, quality, and operational systems.
You own the code outright. No per-seat licences, no cloud subscription that sends your production or product data to a third party.

Common questions about AI automation in Sunderland.
Do you work with Sunderland businesses?
Yes, and Sunderland is on our doorstep. We are based in Newcastle, around twenty minutes away, so on-site discovery and delivery in Sunderland are standard rather than occasional. The North East is our home market, and we have shipped AI automation for manufacturers, logistics operators, and professional firms across it.
Which Sunderland sectors do you work with?
Sunderland is built on automotive and advanced manufacturing, anchored by the Nissan plant and the growing EV and battery base, alongside the Sunderland Software City technology cluster. We work across automotive and EV manufacturing and their supply chains, software and technology, broader advanced manufacturing, and logistics, which are the document-heavy and data-heavy functions where automation returns the most.
What can AI automate for a Sunderland automotive or manufacturing supplier?
The document and data work that runs through automotive and manufacturing operations: specifications, certificates of conformity, quality and inspection records, and supply-chain paperwork, read and structured and validated against your rules, then posted into your ERP or quality system with an audit trail. For the tier-supplier compliance picture specifically, our piece on AI for automotive tier suppliers covers the detail, and the same engineering applies to the Sunderland supply chain.
What does AI automation cost for a Sunderland business?
We work on a 12-month retainer. Existing systems start at £4,000 per month; new-system builds start at £6,000 per month and scale with scope. The retainer buys senior engineering hours against a written scope, not per-seat licences. Exact pricing is set on consultation once the work is sized.
Is our data kept private?
Yes. We build private systems where your production, quality, and supply-chain data stay on infrastructure you control rather than flowing through a third-party AI service. For manufacturers that protects commercially sensitive specifications and supplier data, and for technology firms it protects product and customer data under UK GDPR. We are ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials certified, and every pipeline is audit-logged.
