AI Engineering · Bradford · Canarlo, Leeds
An AI development company for Bradford's manufacturers, food and drink businesses, and logistics operators — where return is measured in hours saved per week, not slides.
Working in Bradford
Bradford is an operations city — food manufacturing at national scale, textiles, distribution feeding the motorways. Software from an AI development company has to shorten a shift or it goes unused.
So that's how we scope. Goods-in paperwork extracted instead of re-keyed, order and invoice matching that stops the month-end scramble, quality and traceability records queryable when the auditor calls, and enquiry handling that doesn't depend on whoever checked the inbox first. AI where it reads documents and answers questions well; plain automation where a rule beats a model.
Being twenty minutes away changes the engagement. We can walk the line, sit with the person who runs the spreadsheet, and see the workaround the process map doesn't show. That's routinely the difference between software that gets adopted and software that gets ignored — and it's a bus ride, not a discovery-phase line item.
On-site from Leeds
Bradford is 20 minutes from Leeds — effectively next door. Walk-the-floor discovery, on-site kickoff, and in-person reviews are the default here rather than the exception. No travel charges, obviously.
Delivery itself runs remote-first — weekly demos on a real preview URL, readable diffs, UK office hours. The engineer who writes the proposal writes the code and takes the call when something breaks.
What we build
The full detail — what we build, how it works, pricing — lives on the service pages. They cover the whole of the UK; /services/ai-engineering is the place to start.
AI Engineering
Agents, RAG, evals, MCP — shipped with audit trails. Every automated decision logged with input, output, and model version.
Web Apps
Next.js + Supabase, per-row security at the database, UK-hosted. Eighteen security patterns enforced by default.
Automations
Webhook-triggered workflows that replace manual ops. Signed webhooks, idempotent retries, audit row per attempt.
From the £8k AI System Audit to £100k production builds. Fixed scope, GBP invoicing, no day-rate dance.
How much does AI engineering cost? →Frequently asked
Almost always. Legacy ERPs, Access databases, CSV exports, even the fax-adjacent stuff — we treat what exists as the starting point and build integration that survives it. The audit tells you what's worth replacing versus wrapping.
We scope against a measurable: hours of re-keying removed, days off the month-end close, enquiries answered same-day. If we can't name the number the build should move, we don't recommend the build.
No — and in Bradford, often the right answer isn't AI at all. Web apps, portals, integrations, and automations are half our work. We use AI where documents and unstructured data are involved, and skip it where a deterministic workflow is cheaper and more reliable.
Fixed-fee tiers from the £8k AI System Audit to £100k production builds, scope written down before billing starts. Invoiced in GBP, VAT itemised. The SOW names the technological uncertainties so your accountant can file the R&D tax credit claim without rewriting anything.
You. The repo, the schemas, the eval set, the runbook. No Canarlo SaaS in the loop, no licence fees — plain TypeScript any competent engineer can pick up. Vendor swap is a config change, not a re-architecture.
Start here
Twenty minutes, UK office hours. If the work fits, we’ll say so. If you’re better served by an audit first — or by not hiring us at all — we’ll say that too.
