What we do

AI succeeds when it is built around the business — not the demo.

The hard part is not finding an AI model. It is knowing what is worth building, keeping data safe, integrating with existing systems, and making sure the result still works when the tools, models and business requirements change. That is where Lumitec AI operates: production systems, real workflows, measurable value.

Designed around your data.

We build around your existing systems, identity and permissions — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM, PSA, document stores and databases. Data handling is defined up front, with clear boundaries on access, storage and retention.

Multi-model, no lock-in.

We choose the right model and architecture for the workload — not the provider with the loudest marketing. Systems can be designed to move between models as quality, cost and capability change.

Built for production.

We design for monitoring, testing, permissions, reliability and support from the start. The aim is not a clever prototype — it is a system your business can depend on.

How we work

Three steps. One team. No handovers.

We do all three steps in-house — so you do not get one consultancy that sells you the strategy and a different one that fails to ship it.

01 1–2 weeks · fixed fee

DIAGNOSE

A paid AI Readiness Diagnostic. We sit with you for a couple of weeks, learn how your business actually works, and map the highest-value AI opportunities. You get a 15-page plain-English diagnostic — yours to keep, whether or not we ever work together again.

02 4–12 weeks

BUILD

A small embedded team — tech lead, senior engineer, part-time AI ops engineer — shipping production AI on a 2-week cadence. Working in your tools, on your stack, behind your auth.

03 Ongoing · optional

OPERATE

Managed AI operations — for businesses that don't want to staff this internally. We monitor, update models when better ones come out, run evals before changes go live, and we're on-call for production issues.

Case studies

Real systems. Real operational value.

From planning intelligence and service desk automation to CRM-linked coaching workflows and bid-response platforms, Lumitec AI builds systems around real business data, real users and real operational constraints.

Custom AI applications for a complex multi-site franchise network.

Lumitec AI is developing scalable custom applications for a large multi-national franchisee group, supporting data categorisation, cost analysis, operational insight and CRM-linked coaching workflows within Microsoft Dynamics.

Darren, Operations Director: "Lumitec understood the complexity quickly and turned it into practical systems our teams can actually use."

Planning documents, submissions and evidence made searchable, usable and actionable.

Lumitec AI supported the Norwich to Tilbury action group by aggregating Planning Inspectorate materials, public submissions and supporting evidence into a database-driven workflow for AI-assisted querying, analysis and document retrieval.

Rosie, Campaign Lead: "Lumitec gave us a way to work with a huge volume of planning material without losing the thread."

AI-assisted ticket creation and reporting across complex service desk systems.

Lumitec AI built scalable front-end interfaces into complex PSA and CMS platforms, allowing tickets to be created from call recordings, screenshots, emails and text input, while unlocking deep reporting from more than 20 years of service data.

MSP Leadership Team: "The system turns fragmented information into structured tickets and usable insight for our helpdesk."

Ten years of bid history turned into a practical RFP response engine.

Lumitec AI built a dedicated workflow to ingest more than a decade of successful and unsuccessful sales bid data, giving RFP teams a practical interface to draft stronger tender responses using historic knowledge that traditional systems could not surface.

Commercial Director: "Lumitec helped us unlock years of bid knowledge and turn it into something our teams can use at speed."

Team

The team you'll actually work with.

No layered consultancies. No "principal architect" bait-and-switch. The senior people who scope your project are the same people who design, build, deliver and support it — from first conversation to production system.

FAQ

The questions owners actually ask.

Yes — that is exactly the kind of call we like. Many strong AI opportunities start with a business problem, not a technical brief. We will spend 30 minutes asking about your business and tell you honestly whether AI is worth exploring, and where to start if it is.

Hiring internally can take months before anything useful ships. Lumitec AI gives you senior AI, software, data and delivery capability without having to build the whole team yourself. We can help you move quickly, then support, operate or hand over depending on what your business needs.

Data handling is defined at the start of every engagement. We build around your existing systems, identity and permissions, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other business platforms. Access, storage, retention and residency requirements are agreed before anything goes live.

We design systems to avoid unnecessary model lock-in. Where appropriate, workloads can be routed between different models or providers as cost, quality and capability change. The architecture matters as much as the model.

No. The Diagnostic is designed to identify what is genuinely worth building and what is not. If the right answer is "do not do AI yet," that is what we will tell you.

Diagnostics typically start within 2 weeks. Build timelines depend on scope, integrations and data readiness, but we work in focused phases so clients can see progress early rather than waiting months for a big reveal.

Yes. We can review stalled or underperforming AI projects, identify what is salvageable, and give you a clear route forward. If the project needs to be stopped or rebuilt properly, we will say so.

Most clients start with a Diagnostic. Build projects are scoped around the value, complexity and level of integration required, with smaller production builds typically starting in the tens of thousands.
