On-site systems engineering · West Sussex
Turn years of engineering know-how into a system the whole team can use.
Your advantage lives in drawings, old quotes, test records and experienced judgement. We connect that knowledge to the live job without handing commercial decisions to an algorithm or forcing a working production system out of the building.

Where margin quietly disappears
The expensive part is usually between the systems.
For engineering, scientific, fabrication and specialist manufacturing teams, 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.
The revision hunt delays the real work
Drawings, specifications and changes arrive separately; somebody must prove which set production should use.
Quality evidence is assembled at the end
Tests and inspections happen on time, but the customer pack becomes a separate document-chasing exercise.
Why this matters locally. Burgess Hill is growing around established industrial and technical businesses, with new employment space and the potential for a science and technology park. For existing firms, the commercial opportunity is not a wholesale software replacement; it is making accumulated technical knowledge easier to apply as workload and teams grow.
Local economic context: Mid Sussex District Council: Burgess Hill development →What changes after the build
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 Burgess Hill & Mid Sussex
One RFQ stream, taken from mixed inbox to approved job pack.
The first project can sit around the tools you already trust. It organises the evidence, exposes what is missing and removes repeated entry; the estimator still owns the commercial decision.
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 Burgess Hill & Mid Sussex?
Yes. Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Hassocks and the wider Mid Sussex area, with audits, installs and training delivered on site. 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.

Bring one awkward RFQ and the quote it eventually became.
We will trace the version changes, repeated entry and judgement points, then tell you where a bounded build would earn its place.
