Services

Better systems.
More value from your business.

Software, automation, data and infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses. Start with the improvement that matters most.

01

Discovery audit & report

Find the most useful next investment.

Ask about this service

For owners planning an improvement, comparing software or deciding where to start. We map the workflow, information and dependencies, then agree what success should look like.

What the scope can include

  • Workflow and system review with the people doing the work
  • Requirements, priorities and practical options
  • A staged roadmap with responsibilities, dependencies and acceptance criteria

How to start

Bring a description of your operation, the tools you use and the outcome you want. We agree the audit scope, report and fee before starting. Site visits and special requests are scoped separately.

02

Digitisation & business software

Give your team tools that fit the work.

Ask about this service

For businesses moving a workflow from paper, spreadsheets or disconnected tools into a shared system. We assess existing products as well as custom development.

What the scope can include

  • Forms, order capture, approvals and operational records
  • Role-based views for staff and management
  • Search, history, validation and usable data exports
  • A tested rollout, user guidance and agreed maintenance

How to start

Show us one real workflow and a sample of the records it uses. We can scope an initial module or a broader system.

03

Automation & integration

Connect the steps between systems.

Ask about this service

For repetitive administration, duplicate capture and hand-offs that would benefit from a reliable connection. We check what each system actually allows before proposing an integration.

What the scope can include

  • API connections and controlled data imports or exports
  • Scheduled jobs, notifications and workflow triggers
  • Validation, exception handling and traceable processing
  • Documentation of credentials, dependencies and support

How to start

Tell us which systems should exchange information, what should trigger the action and who handles exceptions. Third-party access or licence costs are identified in the proposal.

04

Data, reporting & dashboards

See the information that drives decisions.

Ask about this service

For owners and teams who need timely operating information. We agree what each measure means and where its data comes from before building the view.

What the scope can include

  • KPI definitions and source-data checks
  • Operational dashboards and management reports
  • Consolidated data, trends and exception views
  • Filters, access controls and exportable reports

How to start

Start with the decisions you need to make and the reports you already use. We will identify the data needed and any quality gaps.

05

Practical AI

Use AI where it can prove useful.

Ask about this service

For a defined task such as classifying enquiries, extracting document fields, searching internal information or preparing a draft for review. We begin with a bounded pilot and representative examples.

What the scope can include

  • Use-case assessment and a small measurable pilot
  • Appropriate model or service integration
  • Human review for decisions that need judgement
  • Checks for output quality, data exposure and ongoing cost

How to start

Bring examples of the task and an acceptable error rate. Confidential data, model providers and access arrangements must be agreed before the pilot. AI outputs require verification.

06

Websites & hosting

Make it easy for customers to understand and contact you.

Ask about this service

For a new business presence, a clearer service website or a site connected to your operating systems. We plan the content and customer journey as well as the implementation.

What the scope can include

  • Responsive pages, navigation and enquiry forms
  • Accessible structure, metadata and performance improvements
  • Domain, hosting and deployment setup within the agreed scope
  • Updates, backups and maintenance by arrangement

How to start

Share your audience, page requirements, existing domain and examples of what you like. Content, third-party subscriptions and ongoing support are scoped explicitly.

07

Servers, backups & recovery

Build a dependable place for the work to run.

Ask about this service

For local business servers, supported cloud deployments or improvements to an existing environment. Availability and recovery needs guide the design.

What the scope can include

  • Hardware assessment and server setup
  • Secure access, monitoring and update arrangements
  • Local and off-site backups with restore checks
  • Recovery instructions and a documented handover

How to start

Tell us what runs today, who needs access and how much downtime or data loss the operation can tolerate. Hardware and hosting are quoted separately where needed.

08

IT/OT support & ongoing improvement

Keep the system useful after launch.

Ask about this service

For agreed business software and infrastructure that need maintenance, troubleshooting or further improvement. IT means information technology; OT means technology that supports physical operations.

What the scope can include

  • Supported-system inventory and clear responsibility boundaries
  • Troubleshooting, maintenance and controlled changes
  • Health reviews, documentation and user enablement
  • Connections to operational equipment where access and expertise allow

How to start

Send an outline of the environment and the support you need. Coverage, response targets and exclusions are agreed in writing. Specialist equipment work is assessed before any commitment.

Working with IK SOLS

Agree on the outcome. Then build towards it.

FAQ

Can we start with one small improvement?

Yes. A well-defined workflow, integration, report or infrastructure change can be a useful first engagement. It should have a clear owner and a measurable result.

Do we have to replace our current software?

We first look at improving or connecting your existing tools. We recommend a replacement when it offers a clear benefit.

How are projects priced?

A free introductory call helps us find the starting point. A discovery audit and report is paid work, followed by a separate implementation quote and support plan where needed. Fees and recurring costs are confirmed in the written proposal.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes, by agreement for specified systems and coverage. Response targets, maintenance, backup responsibilities and change requests are defined in the support arrangement. Coverage hours and response targets are agreed before support starts.
