Production AI for manufacturers.
One team across Belgium and Sri Lanka.
We put AI into the systems you already run: ERP, quality, planning, and the documents moving between them. Our engineers and leadership work as one team across Ghent and Colombo, with a single point of contact for you from the first call onward.
No pilots that go nowhere. If AI is the wrong answer for your problem, we will say so and build the simpler thing instead.
Two offers, one team
Some clients buy one AI system that solves an expensive problem. Others add engineering capacity for the long run.
AI integration
We build AI into the systems that already run your plant and your back office, and a named person stays responsible for keeping it there.
- Document and data automation
- Quality and inspection support
- Planning and forecasting
- Copilots that answer from your own data
- ERP and MES integration
Engineering teams
Engineering depth without running a hiring process in a market that does not have the people.
- Backend, frontend and full stack development
- AI and data engineering
- QA and test automation
- Infrastructure, Microsoft 365 and support
- Maintenance of systems you already depend on
Most companies are still testing tools. The returns come from redesigning the work.
What we have built
Most of it lives inside client systems, so here is the shape of it.
Document and data automation
Invoices, orders and specifications read and filed without anyone rekeying them.
Quality and inspection support
Your inspection data ranked, so the right batch gets a second look in time.
Planning and forecasting
Demand and capacity forecasting built on your own history, with the reasoning visible.
Copilots on company data
Assistants that answer from your own documents, cite the source, and respect who may see what.
ERP and systems integration
Connecting what you run today, including the parts with no modern API.
Infrastructure and support
Servers, cloud and Microsoft 365, run as a service with response times attached.
We also build reporting pipelines and back office automation, from finance through to HR.
How an engagement runs
Something working against your real data early, so you can judge it rather than imagine it.
Assessment
We look at your systems and data, then come back with what is worth automating and what is not.
Prototype
A working prototype against your real data. Not a slide deck.
Production
Hardened, integrated and live in your environment, with monitoring and documentation.
Support
We keep it running and keep improving it. Same team, same contact.
What it costs
Project based for defined work, a monthly retainer for ongoing capacity, or tied to an agreed outcome. We tell you which one we think fits before you ask.
If the assessment leads to a project, its cost is credited against that project. If you are not happy with the assessment, you do not pay for it. We do not publish a starting price: it depends too much on your systems and the scope to be a useful number, so you get a figure once we have seen them.
Who you will actually deal with
One company with roots in Belgium and Sri Lanka, and leadership in both. You always know whose name is on the work.
Bart Van der Voort
Belgian, based with the team in Colombo, and the person Belgian clients deal with directly.
Kithmal Warnasooriya
Owns the technical architecture, based with the engineering team in Colombo.
Nicolas Vandenbroeck
Works between strategy and delivery, and keeps commitments and capacity honest.
Emmanuel Blomme
Supports our work with Belgian businesses, and stays close to the client relationships he built.
The team in Colombo
AI and data engineers, backend and frontend developers, QA, and infrastructure and support engineers, working as one team. Employed and managed by us, not subcontracted on to someone else.
The people doing the work, in one place
One office in Ghent, one in Colombo, and a team that sits together rather than scattered across a contractor marketplace.
We are hiring in Colombo, with open roles in AI engineering, backend development and infrastructure.

We will tell you whether AI is the right answer for it, including when it is not. If it is, you get a prototype against your own data before you commit to anything larger.
