AI Development Partner · Singapore

Every time revenue grows,
the answer shouldn't be another hire.

We build custom AI systems for 15–35 person service businesses in Singapore. What a development agency quotes at $80,000+ and three to four months, we deliver in 6–8 weeks — so your business scales without the headcount to match.

Does this sound like your business?

01
You run a service business with 25 people or more

Agencies, consultancies, education firms, and other operators juggling clients, projects, and internal workflows across too many tools — with no single place where the whole picture lives.

02
Your workflows are still mostly manual

Processes live in email threads, spreadsheets, and people's heads. What gets done each day depends on who showed up and how focused they are. A key person out sick breaks the chain. A key person leaving takes the knowledge with them.

03
You're paying $500+/month on SaaS — and it's still not enough

Project management, CRM, quoting, proposals, chat, docs — none of them actually work together or reflect how your business really runs. You're paying for tools that solve parts of the problem and create new ones.

04
You want enterprise-grade software at SME pricing

A custom-built AI platform tailored to your business — delivered in 6–8 weeks at a fraction of what traditional software development costs, easy for your team to use from day one, and ready to evolve as you grow.

Running a 25-person service business on human memory is expensive.

3–4 hrs
Skilled time lost to manual work, every day

Your best people — advisors, consultants, analysts — spend hours each day on tasks a system should handle: admin, data entry, status chasing, report formatting. That is not an execution problem. That is a leverage problem.

No data
Decisions made without real data

Every founder we have spoken to makes critical calls on gut feel or a spreadsheet someone last updated on Thursday. There is no single live view of the business. Pipeline is a feeling. Forecast is a guess.

1:1
Growth tied to headcount

Every time revenue grows, the answer is another hire. Not because the work requires more people — but because the system can't carry the load. That is a leverage problem, not a staffing one.

From first conversation to working system — mapped out, step by step.

No drawn-out engagements. No vague statements of work. A written scope in 24 hours, a working MVP before you commit to a full build, and a clear path to the right solution for your business.

30-min discovery call

A direct conversation about your business. We ask about your tools, your team, and the specific friction points. If there is a real fit, we go deeper. If not, we tell you honestly.

01
Mapping session

We go deep on your workflows, data sources, and tools. Every input and output documented. We identify what to automate, what to centralise, and where the highest leverage is.

Written scoping document

Within 24 hours of your mapping session: exact deliverables, timeline, cost, and assumptions — in writing. You know precisely what you are getting before committing to anything.

Readiness Audit + MVP

The honest starting point. A working prototype of your core system built over 3 weeks. You test it, your team uses it. Then we confirm the full build scope together — no guessing, no surprises.

Day 10
First working version

A functional version of your core system delivered within the first 10 days. You can use it, test it, and break it. This is where the real feedback loop begins — not a mockup, an actual running system.

10 days
Weeks 2–5
Iteration sprints

Multiple complete versions, each one improved based on your team's feedback. Not just fixes — every sprint is a meaningful step forward. We run 48-hour feedback loops throughout.

Ongoing iterations
Weeks 5–8
UI/UX polish and launch

The final phase is dedicated to interface clarity, speed, and edge-case handling. When it's right, we launch. 6 months of post-launch support included before handover.

Launch + 6 months

We don't believe AI is the right answer for everyone. If your problem has a simpler, cheaper solution — a better process, a different tool, a cleaner workflow — we will tell you. We take on projects where we believe the system we build will return its cost many times over.

Automated report generation pipeline + full brand system Eliminated manual report production entirely. Consultants drop a data file into a folder — a fully formatted, on-brand PDF report generates automatically. We built a complete tone guide and brand guide alongside the pipeline, so every output reflects the firm's identity without anyone touching a template. No logins. No new tools to learn. One action on the consultant's end. We are now expanding the system to cover additional service lines.

Compliance and approval workflow automation A ~22-person finance firm running manual approval chains across email and spreadsheets — prone to version errors and missed steps. We rebuilt the entire process into a structured workflow system with automated routing, escalation, and audit trails. Two FT equivalent worth of coordination work cut by 60%. Error rate dropped from ~13% to near zero.

Bank statement intelligence — OCR, consolidation, and risk flags Built an internal OCR engine that parses statements across multiple banks and institutions. Normalises and consolidates position data automatically — no manual compilation. Runs analytics across the full portfolio: flags internal dependencies, surfaces inconsistencies, and generates consolidation suggestions. The director has a complete live view without waiting for anyone to pull the numbers.

Multi-retailer BI dashboard with AI analysis agent Unified data from four retailers — previously scattered across Excel files — into a single browser-accessible dashboard. Year-on-year, month-on-month, store-vs-store, and SKU-level comparison with custom date ranges and delta indicators. The GM gets an instant view — no more waiting 2–3 days for an analyst to compile and return numbers. Includes an AI agent trained on data analytics and 3PL logistics strategy that surfaces recommendations directly from the live data.

Singapore · University admissions
Student management platform with consultant workflow and student portal Built a full practice management system for an education consulting firm. Consultants manage each student like a deal — academic progress, extracurriculars, milestones, and assigned tasks all tracked in a single view. Each student gets a secure personal portal to complete assigned work and upload documents; everything saves and syncs automatically. Every relevant team member knows exactly where each student stands without asking anyone.

Delivered: 6 weeks
Also delivered for: marketing and SEO agencies (content fulfillment pipelines, campaign performance dashboards, automated client reporting) and law firms (contract automation, file governance, lawyer knowledge base and case library). Ask us about these engagements.

Built for founders and ops leads in service businesses.

Typically 15–35 staff. Complex enough to need real systems. Not large enough to have an internal tech team.

You work directly with the founder — the person who scopes your system is the person who builds it. No account managers. No handoffs.

Consulting companies

Engagement tracking is manual. Client reporting takes hours per client. Consultant knowledge lives in people's heads, not in a system. Utilisation and capacity have no live view.

Strategy consulting Management consulting HR consulting IT consulting
Education consulting

Student progress scattered. Parent reporting is manual and inconsistent. Consultant knowledge lives in people's heads. Scaling means hiring, not systematising.

Other service businesses

If you run a 15–35 person service business with a critical process that is still manual, data spread across too many tools, or a growth ceiling caused by operational complexity — we should talk. The problems are always variations of the same root: no centralised system, no real data, no leverage.

The honest starting point — for everyone

Start with clarity,
not commitment.

Before you commit to a full build, we build you a working prototype. In three weeks, you see exactly what the system does, how your team uses it, and what the full build will cost. Then we confirm together — Foundation Build or Growth Build. No guessing, no surprises.

Discovery and mapping
We go deep on your current tools, data flows, and manual processes. We document every input and output. Nothing is assumed.
W1
Architecture and MVP
We build a working prototype of the highest-leverage component. You interact with it, your team uses it — not a mockup, an actual running system.
W3
Weeks 2–3 · Two complete iterations
We build and refine two full versions based on your team's feedback. Not just tweaks — each is a meaningful improvement. Final session: full walkthrough, build recommendation, every question answered.
No obligation to proceed. The audit stands alone — you get a working prototype and a clear recommendation regardless of whether you continue to a full build. If we don't think a full build makes sense for your business, we'll tell you.

Two ways to build

Choose based on how deeply integrated the system needs to be in your operation — and how much ongoing development your business requires.

Foundation Build
Internal Operating System
SGD 13,800
Fixed scope · 6–8 week build · 6 months support included · You own the code
What a development agency in Singapore quotes at $80,000+ and 4–6 months.

A custom-built internal system that replaces scattered tools and manual ops with one environment where your data lives, your workflows run, and your team knows what to do next.

  • Central operations hub — all your data, workflows, and team in one place
  • One high-leverage automation — we identify the manual process costing your team the most time and automate it completely
  • Connected data stack — GA4, GSC, Xero, and your existing tools, unified
  • Executive dashboard — live view of the whole operation
  • AI assistant — queryable by anyone on your team
  • 6 months post-launch support included
First 6 months of support included in your build price. From month 7: SGD 2,400/year — hosting, maintenance, and support. You own the codebase. We keep it running.
Why SGD 2,400/year makes sense: A 25-person service business typically spends $600–1,000/month ($7,200–12,000/year) across CRM, project management, and reporting tools — most of which don't talk to each other. Your custom system replaces the entire stack for SGD 2,400/year. Purpose-built for your operation, and it does what those tools never could.

For systems directly tied to your revenue, compliance, or service delivery. We scope it properly, build in stages, and stay on as your tech partner as the business grows.

Every engagement begins with the AI Readiness Audit ($697) — a 3-week scoping process with a working prototype. After the MVP, we confirm together which build track fits your business. The $697 is credited toward the full build.
