AI automation for Teesside businesses.
Full code custom AI for logistics, chemicals, and energy. On our doorstep.
Teesside is one of the UK’s major industrial clusters, with Teesport and the freeport, the Wilton and Billingham chemical base, and the Net Zero Teesside energy sector. It is also our home market: we are based in Newcastle, forty minutes away, and we have already built for a Teesside freight forwarder. On-site delivery here is standard, not occasional.
Built for Teesside industry.
Teesside’s industrial businesses run on documents and data: shipping paperwork, safety cases, quality records, and technical documents. We remove the manual handling so the team works on the operation, not the admin around it.
Logistics and freight
For Teesport, the Teesside freeport, and the freight operators around them: bills of lading, customs declarations, and manifests read and turned into clean structured data inside your TMS or ERP, with customs and sanctions validation built in. We have built this for a Teesside freight forwarder already.
Chemicals and process industries
For the Wilton and Billingham chemical cluster: safety-case documentation, COMAH and regulatory submissions, quality records, and technical documents processed and validated, kept private so operational data stays inside your environment.
Energy and net zero
For the Net Zero Teesside cluster, hydrogen, carbon capture, and offshore work: project documentation, consenting and environmental records, and supply-chain data, with the engineering depth the sector demands.
Advanced manufacturing
For Teesside manufacturers: specification, quality, and supply-chain document processing, integrated with your ERP and quality systems so information is usable the moment it arrives.
Professional services
For Teesside law, accountancy, and consulting firms: document review, proposal and report drafting, and finance back-office automation, built private and audit-logged.
Public sector and Tees Valley
For public bodies across the Tees Valley: 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 an industrial business, the data is sensitive and the integration is everything. We build private and on-premise systems where data never leaves your environment, integrated directly with your TMS, ERP, and quality systems.
You own the code outright. No per-seat licences, no cloud subscription that sends your operational data to a third party.

Common questions about AI automation in Teesside.
Do you work with Teesside businesses?
Yes, and Teesside is on our doorstep. We are based in Newcastle, around forty minutes away, so on-site discovery and delivery in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, and Hartlepool are standard rather than occasional. We have already built for the area: a Teesside freight forwarder where a single AI agent replaced three spreadsheets and two email inboxes. The North East is our home market.
Which Teesside sectors do you work with?
Teesside is a major industrial cluster, so the natural fit is logistics and freight around Teesport and the freeport, the chemicals and process industries at Wilton and Billingham, the energy and net-zero sector including Net Zero Teesside and offshore work, and advanced manufacturing. These are document-heavy, technical, and high-volume functions where automation returns the most.
What can AI automate for a Teesside logistics or freight business?
The document and data flow that runs a freight operation. Bills of lading, commercial invoices, customs declarations, and carrier manifests read and turned into clean structured data inside your TMS or ERP, with sanctions and customs validation built in. We built exactly this kind of system for a Teesside freight forwarder, replacing three spreadsheets and two email inboxes with a single agent. Our piece on AI for logistics covers the workflows in detail.
Can you handle the compliance and safety documentation in chemicals and energy?
Yes. The chemicals and energy sectors run on safety-case documentation, COMAH and regulatory submissions, quality records, and inspection and integrity reports. A custom pipeline reads and structures these, validates them against your rules, and keeps a full audit trail. We build these private, so commercially sensitive operational data stays inside your environment. We are ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials certified.
What does AI automation cost for a Teesside 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.
