AI Engineering · Wakefield · Canarlo, Leeds
An AI consultancy for the distribution, logistics, and manufacturing firms around the M1/M62 junction. Warehouse operations are data-rich and system-poor — that gap is our job.
Working in Wakefield
Wakefield's spot at the M1/M62 crossroads made it a Northern distribution hub. Every pallet scanned, every drop timed — systems an AI consultancy can finally get talking to each other.
That's a specific, solvable problem. Proof-of-delivery documents extracted and matched to invoices automatically, WMS-to-accounts integration that removes the Friday re-keying session, customer enquiry triage that quotes from live stock rather than yesterday's export, exception alerts that reach the right phone before the customer calls. AI for the document-and-question work; deterministic automation for the rest.
The public-sector and professional-services side of Wakefield gets the same treatment — casework and correspondence handling, records that can be searched instead of excavated. Fixed scope either way, with the deliverable and the number it should move written down before billing starts.
On-site from Leeds
Wakefield is 15 minutes from Leeds. We can be at your site for a morning walk-through and back at our desks building by lunch. Recurring on-site days cost nothing extra because they cost us nothing.
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
Yes — logistics integration is bread-and-butter work. APIs where they exist, structured file exchange where they don't, idempotent retries and an audit row on every sync so a failed transfer is a log entry, not a mystery.
Builds ship with monitoring, alerting, and a runbook your own team can follow at 3am. Forge Care, the optional retainer from £500/month, adds UK-hours engineering support from the same engineer who built the system.
A single scoped automation typically lands in weeks, not quarters. We sequence work so the first shipped piece starts paying back while the rest is still being built.
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.

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.
