Sticklebrick is a small, senior team of operators who help established UK businesses adopt AI carefully and credibly, on top of what they’ve already built. We use the AI partners we trust, harmonise them with the data, processes and people already in place, and hand it back with a plan your team can defend.
The first conversation is about your operation, not our technology. What your team already uses, where the friction lives, what the board wants by year end. We listen. We map. No deck.
By the end of week one you have a one-page picture of the operation and a short list of places AI could earn its keep, plus an equally short list of places it can’t.
We build no foundation models. We build on the best of what exists, from the major model labs and cloud providers to specialist vertical platforms, and choose the right tool for each problem. We are loyal to the outcome, not the vendor.
Every engagement extends an existing system through its own APIs: your ERP, WMS, CAFM, trade counter, customer portal or finance system. No rip-and-replace.
Sage, Xero, Elogbooks, Joblogic, BigChange, Mintsoft, Magento, Shopify, Geotab, ABAX, Salesforce, HubSpot: we connect, we don’t compete.
Never a stack of disconnected demos. One solution your operations team can run, your finance team can defend and your auditors can sign off, with specialist security partners hardening every join. Designed to sit alongside the ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 you already hold.
A good consultancy makes itself increasingly unnecessary. We deliver, train and hand over, leaving a roadmap your team owns. We stay on call for the next brick, and we don’t bill for hours that aren’t earning their keep.
We map your data, systems and readiness and say honestly where AI can earn its keep. Starts with the free Data Readiness Score and deepens into an on-site audit with a written report.
One workflow at a time with the right AI partner: an OTIF risk monitor, a substitution agent at the picker, an SLA radar, a quoting assistant on the inbox.
We connect the chosen AI into the systems your team already runs, through their existing APIs, with a hardened security layer and a full audit trail.
Your team operates, monitors and extends what we’ve built, because the brick belongs to you. Sessions, runbooks and support until you’re confident.
The next bricks, sequenced by value and sized by what your business can absorb. A light-touch retainer for the quarters that follow.
If AI isn’t the answer, we say so. Sometimes a better process, system or hire is the right brick. We’d rather you had the truth than the project.
Take a regional trade distributor losing OTIF to short-picks on next-day orders. We pick one AI partner, connect it to the WMS and ERP through their existing APIs, and surface approved substitutes at the picker the moment a short is detected.
One workflow, three trained operators, no new platform. This is an illustrative plan, not a client result.
We’ve run the kind of business you run. Our advice comes from thirty years each of real operations, not a research lab.
We aren’t selling our own model or software. We use whichever AI is right for your problem, and say when it’s the wrong answer.
We move at the speed your business can absorb. We don’t promise to transform you in ninety days.
