Unifying operations for a multi-site manufacturer
Four disconnected systems and a great deal of spreadsheet glue, replaced by one ERP the floor staff actually use.
Helix Manufacturing
We design, build and operate AI-powered software, automation platforms and enterprise systems for organisations that intend to lead rather than catch up.
Trusted by teams building serious systems
From AI automation to enterprise platforms — built to be maintained, not merely delivered.
Five stages, each ending in something you can review, question and act on.
We start with your constraints, not our catalogue — the real bottleneck, the real deadline, the real budget.
A technical plan you can review: data model, integrations, risks and the decisions we deliberately deferred.
Short cycles with working software at the end of each one. You see progress, not status reports.
Performance, security, accessibility and the failure modes nobody enjoys discovering in production.
Deployment, monitoring and a support relationship that outlasts the launch.
A few engagements where the measurable result mattered more than the technology choice.
We choose boring, proven technology for the foundation and reserve novelty for where it earns its place.
“They spent two weeks understanding our operation before writing a line of code. The result handles our real edge cases instead of the tidy version we described in the first meeting.”
“Our school management system replaced four separate tools and a great deal of paper. Staff adoption was immediate, which never happens.”
“We needed an MVP in seven weeks to make an investor deadline. We got it in six, and it was solid enough that we are still building on the same codebase.”
“The AI support agent resolves about sixty percent of enquiries without a human. What impressed us more is that it hands over cleanly when it should.”
“Their DevOps engagement turned a two-day release ritual into a fifteen-minute pipeline. The documentation alone was worth the fee.”
“The automation work removed roughly thirty hours of manual data entry every week. The team now spends that time on things that actually need judgement.”
Hands-on programmes that leave your team able to operate and extend what we build together.
Type-driven design, strictness that pays for itself, and the patterns that keep a large codebase navigable.
Retrieval, evaluation, cost control and the engineering discipline that separates a demo from a product.
Containers from first principles through to a production deployment you can actually operate.
Threat modelling, authentication, authorisation and the vulnerabilities that keep appearing in real audits.
Tell us the outcome you need. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people to build it.
