The project brief is rewritten after the sale
The accepted proposal contains the real commitments, but delivery starts in another board with a shorter description.
On-site systems engineering · Brighton & Hove
Business systems, automation and private AI in Brighton & Hove.
Keep the promise made in the proposal connected to delivery and billing.
A project can move quickly from enquiry to proposal, team handover, client approval and invoice. When each step lives in another tool, the account lead becomes the integration. We build a shared route through the work so scope, decisions and commercial status stay visible.

Where margin quietly disappears
The expensive part is usually between the systems.
For creative, digital and professional-service teams in Brighton and Hove, the work itself is rarely the whole problem. The drag sits in the handover, the exception and the information somebody has to reconstruct before the next person can move.
A client change is approved in a thread
The team sees a new request, while the agreed scope, price and approver remain in email.
The invoice waits for a status meeting
Milestones are complete, but finance must ask project leads which work is billable and which change was agreed.
Why this matters locally. Brighton & Hove City Council's economic work identifies a strong creative and digital cluster alongside professional services. For project-led firms, a useful systems opportunity is the handover between winning work, delivering it, recording client changes and billing against the agreed scope.

Less chasing. Earlier decisions. A customer answer you can stand behind.
The point is not another interface. It is a dependable operational record that reaches the person who needs it while the decision is still useful.
A sensible first project in Brighton & Hove
One project, from accepted proposal to invoice-ready milestone.
Take a familiar service with repeatable stages. Connect the proposal and project record first, then make approval and billing events explicit. Existing accounting and project tools can remain in place when they serve the team well.
We test with the people doing the work, including awkward cases. If an existing product already solves it properly, we will recommend that instead of a bespoke build.
Evidence before reassurance
The first business system we built is still in daily use after twenty-one years.
A Sussex sign maker's quoting, job and invoice system went live in 2005. They own it. It does not stop if they stop paying us, and it was built to be understood by another engineer. That is the standard we bring to local work now.

Questions local teams ask.
Do you visit businesses in Brighton & Hove?
Yes. Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Preston Park and nearby city businesses, with site visits, installation and training arranged from our Horsham base. Discovery, process mapping, installation and training can all happen at your premises.
Can you work with the software we already have?
Usually, yes. We keep dependable products and connect the missing route through supported APIs, databases or controlled imports. Replacing a working system is the last proposal, not the first.
Do we own a bespoke system after it is built?
Yes. Source code, documentation and a usable route to your data are included. The system does not need to check in with Inferred to keep running, and optional support is not a permission fee.
Can private AI keep our documents on site?
Yes. Where confidentiality requires it, models and document indexes run on hardware in your building. Access follows your rules and answers show the source material used.
What does a first project cost?
A fixed-scope Operations Audit is £895. Focused automation and bespoke business-system builds start from £1,495, while private AI installations start from £4,950. The scope and price are agreed before build work begins.
How quickly can we tell whether the idea is worthwhile?
A first conversation and one representative example are normally enough to judge fit. If the problem needs measurement, the Operations Audit produces a prioritised brief without committing you to a build.
