The proposition

You’ve built the operation. We add the AI.

Sticklebrick is a consultancy. We help established UK businesses adopt AI — carefully, credibly, on top of what you’ve already built. Using the AI partners we trust, harmonised with the data, processes and people you already have. No platform to replace. No vendor lock-in. No board paper to defend for the next three years.

— 02 How we work

Five principles. No theatre.

P—01

We start where the business already works.

The first conversation is about your operation, not our technology. What your team already uses. Where the friction lives. What the board wants by the end of the year. We listen. We map. No deck.

P—02

We use trusted AI partners — we don’t reinvent the model.

We do not build foundation models. We have built working relationships with the AI partners that have — the global model labs, the major cloud providers, the specialist vertical platforms — and we pick the right tool for your problem. We are loyal to the outcome, not the vendor.

P—03

We add. We don’t replace.

Every Sticklebrick engagement extends an existing system. We connect the AI of choice to your ERP, your WMS, your CAFM, your trade counter, your customer portal, your finance system — through their existing APIs, with no rip-and-replace. The new brick goes into the wall that’s already standing.

P—04

We harmonise. Into one whole solution.

The integration is never a stack of disconnected demos. It is one harmonised solution your operations team can run, your finance team can defend, and your auditors can sign off. We work with specialist security partners to harden every join. Sits cleanly alongside the ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 you already hold.

P—05

We hand it back. With a plan.

A good consultancy makes itself increasingly unnecessary. We deliver, we train, we hand over — and we leave behind a roadmap your team owns. We remain on call for the next brick when you’re ready.

The principle in one image

One brick at a time. The building stays standing.

The new AI piece glows. Everything else — your ERP, your CAFM, your finance system, your engineers, your processes — stays exactly where you put it. Nothing rips out. Nothing replaces. The brick goes into the wall that’s already standing, and you keep operating while we work.


— 03 What we do

Five engagements. No occupation.

E—01

Audit

We map your data, your systems and your readiness — and tell you honestly where AI can earn its keep, and where it can’t. The 10-minute Data Readiness Score is the starting point; the half-day on-site audit is the next.

E—02

Pilot

One workflow at a time, with the right AI partner for the job. An OTIF risk monitor, a substitution agent at the picker, an SLA radar at the reactive desk, a customer-pricing assistant at the trade counter. Six weeks, defined scope, measurable result.

E—03

Integrate

We connect the chosen AI into the systems your team already runs — ERP, WMS, CAFM, trade counter, customer portal, finance — through their existing APIs, with a hardened security layer and a full audit trail.

E—04

Train

Your team operates, monitors and extends what we’ve built — because the brick belongs to you, not to us. We run the sessions, write the runbooks, and stay on call until your team is confident.

E—05

Roadmap

The next bricks, sequenced by value, sized by absorption capacity, defendable to your board. Light-touch retainer for the months and quarters that follow. You set the pace.


— 04 In the field

Where the bricks earn their keep.

Three operational contexts we know well. Each one a place where the right AI brick, well placed, removes friction immediately and quietly.

The plant room

FM, M&E and building services contractors. SLA radar, first-time-fix uplift, asset-history at the tablet. The brick sits next to the engineer, not above them.

The route

Route intelligence, dead-leg removal, scope 1 reduction. From sister-company Fleetgenie’s decade of pulling miles and carbon out of UK operational fleets.

The handover

Field to office. The work the engineer did, the photo they took, the part they fitted — arriving clean at the desk that needs to bill it, audit it, and report it on.

— 05 Outcomes

Real savings. Lower miles. Less carbon.

From the track record of Fleetgenie Bluepoppy Vehicle Management

Our sister companies have spent a decade pulling cost, miles and carbon out of UK operational fleets. Sticklebrick brings that operator know-how to the AI adoption work — so when we add the right brick in the right place, the savings compound across the whole operation, not just the vehicles.

O—01 / Cost
10–18%

Lower fleet running cost

Smarter routing, fewer dead-leg miles, tighter scheduling. Indicative range from Fleetgenie deployments across UK building services fleets.

O—02 / Efficiency
+8–14pts

First-time fix rate

Engineers arrive with the right asset history, parts and access notes. Fewer return visits, fewer SLA breaches, more billable hours on tools.

O—03 / Carbon
12–22%

Lower fleet emissions

Route optimisation and behaviour change cut scope 1 emissions. Real reductions, evidenced for board reporting and customer ESG asks.

Indicative ranges from sister-company deployments. Sticklebrick pilot data lands H2 2026.

The Sticklebrick Data Readiness Score is a 10-minute self-assessment for established businesses. We map your data sources, score how ready you are for AI, and send a custom report showing where AI can earn its keep — and where you’d be wasting your money. It is the natural first conversation with us, and it is on us.

Trust & security

Trust lives in the join.

The connector between your existing systems and the new AI is where the rigour goes. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Scoped access, full audit trail, role-based controls. We work with specialist security partners to harden every seam — cleanly alongside the ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 you already hold. No fearmongering. No green-matrix theatre. Just the quiet, careful work of putting a padlock on the place where two systems meet.

For partner contractors

You keep the customer. We bring the AI.

For FM contractors, M&E installers, IT integrators and trade distributors who want to bring AI to their end customers without becoming an AI company themselves. We sit behind your brand. The relationship is yours; the AI is ours; the customer wins both.

— 09 About

Built by operators.

Sticklebrick is founded and led by operators with over thirty years each of running real businesses. Between us we have managed fleets, run distribution networks, dispatched engineers, posted invoices, closed months, defended margin in front of a board, and lived through three previous technology cycles.

We sit alongside Fleetgenie and Bluepoppy Vehicle Management, our sister companies — a decade of pulling cost, miles and carbon out of UK operational fleets. Sticklebrick is the consultancy that brings that operator know-how to the AI adoption work.

Trust is the only thing that matters when you are putting the future of your business in the hands of a technology you don’t yet fully understand.

We earn it by being three things at once. Operators, not platform vendors. Independent, not loyal to any single AI partner. And patient — we move at the speed your business can absorb.
