Where AI pays off across a network
- Automated bill review. AI reads every bill across shipping, procurement, IT and other categories, understands what's on it and flags the charges that don't make sense. Real bills don't follow a format, which is why a rules engine never quite works and AI does.
- Decisions, not dashboards. The output is specific: cancel this, renegotiate that, this surcharge doesn't match the contract. Something an owner-operator can act on in a minute.
- In the operator's pocket. Native iOS and Android apps put the analysis on the phone franchisees already carry, so the savings land at every site.
- A clear view for head office. Categorised spend and operational insight show where each site stands, and CRM-linked coaching workflows help area managers act on it.
What we're building for an international franchise
An international franchise asked us to give every franchisee the same buying leverage as its best-run sites. We're building an AI spend-intelligence assistant that runs a custom bill review across each franchisee's spend, plus native iOS and Android apps to put it in their hands.
Both are in active delivery. We won't put a savings figure on it until the live system is reviewing real bills at scale. Read the full case study.
"Lumitec understood the complexity quickly and turned it into practical systems our teams can actually use."

Built for how networks actually work
- Independent operators, messy data. Hundreds of operators with their own suppliers, contracts and formats. We build for that from day one, not for a clean demo dataset.
- Trust before scale. Every suggestion shows the line, what it should be and why, so operators can check it rather than take it on faith.
- Data handling agreed up front. Who sees which site's data is set out in writing before anything is built. See how we handle data.
- Something real every two weeks. We work on a two-week cadence on your own stack, so each fortnight there's working software to look at.
How to start
Start with our free, no-obligation AI Readiness Diagnostic. We look at where AI would actually move the numbers across your network and hand you a statement of work, a wireframe and an ROI case you keep either way. If it's worth building, the first paid step is a proof of concept.

Common questions
Do franchisees need to change suppliers or systems?
No. The point is to work with the bills and systems they already have. The assistant reads bills in whatever format suppliers send them.
Will operators actually use it?
That's why it's built as a native app for iOS and Android rather than another dashboard. If the analysis isn't on the phone they already carry, the savings don't land.
Can head office see every site's data?
That's your call, and it's agreed in writing before we build anything. We build to whichever model suits your network.
What does it cost?
The Diagnostic is free. Builds are scoped around the value and the level of integration, and smaller production builds typically start in the tens of thousands. You'll have a costed statement of work before you commit to anything.
