A clear plan to cut waste.
Ready for you to act on.
One day on-site. Deck back by the end of the week. A live presentation to your leadership team and a working document you keep. Here is exactly how it runs, what lands in the deck, and what you walk away with.
We spend a day on-site with your team
Sales, operations, customs, finance, client services. We sit with each function, watch the work happen, and map every system, hand-off and bottleneck in real time. No surveys, no questionnaires sent ahead.
We build the deck by the end of the week
Workflow maps drawn up. Opportunities scored on commercial impact and build effort. Roadmap sequenced quarter-by-quarter with payback ranges. Governance and compliance pressure-tested.
We present it to your leadership team
60 to 90 minutes, in person or on a call. We walk through every slide, answer every question, then hand over the file. Yours to keep, regardless of what you do next.
Slide 01 / 04
Workflow & Systems Mapping
Every process, hand-off and system across sales, operations, customs, finance and client services documented end-to-end. Your forwarding platform, inbox, spreadsheets, portals, the lot.
Slide 02 / 04
AI Opportunities Across Every Department
Every opportunity surfaced during the discovery day, ranked by commercial impact and build effort. Sales, operations, customs, finance, comms and reporting — nothing skipped.
Slide 03 / 04
Prioritised Automation Roadmap
Quarter-by-quarter sequencing with build-vs-buy calls and expected payback. Written for the board, not your IT team.
Slide 04 / 04
Risk, Governance & Compliance
Data handling, customer information, customs compliance, audit trail and model governance. So legal and IT sign off without it dragging on for weeks.
What you walk away with
A plan you can act
on the same week.
- A working document, not a sales pitch
- Costed, sequenced and ready to action immediately
- Pre-cleared with the governance and compliance angles your legal and IT teams will ask about
- Owned by you. Take it to another implementation partner if you want.
AI could fix half your back office.
You just don't know where to start. Three reasons why nothing has stuck yet.
Digital forwarders are winning on speed
Flexport-style rivals quote in 15 minutes and update clients on every step. You keep losing on response time, not price.
Most 'AI consultants' don't know freight
You've sat through multiple demos. None of them get customs, rate sheets or how an ops team really runs. You need an answer, not another platform pitch.
One audit. Every workflow.
A clear plan you can act on.
The Old Way
- Hire a Big-4 consultancy for £50k+ before you know your priorities
- Wait 3–6 months for a 90-page report that nobody reads
- Get a generic AI roadmap that ignores freight reality
- Still quoting in days. Still losing freight.

Case Study
£16,500 saved every month. Built around the team they already had.
90 days
From audit to live workflows
01 · The Problem
Buried in spreadsheets, email chains and hand-built reports.
Jenkar's ops team was running quoting on spreadsheets, customs docs over email, and client reports by hand. Every new load meant days of back-and-forth before a price could even be quoted.
02 · What We Did
One day on-site. A costed roadmap. Live in 90 days.
We mapped how Jenkar quoted, documented and reported across sea, air and road. Then we built and rolled out AI workflows across three fronts: freight quoting, customs documentation, and internal client reporting. No new hires needed.
03 · The Outcome
Chasing freight, not emails.
Quote turnaround collapsed from days to minutes with full visibility on every load. £16,500 of monthly cost taken out of the business. Jenkar now work with us on an ongoing monthly retainer, rolling new AI workflows into the business as they're needed.
Want the same playbook for your forwarder?
90 days to an AI Department. Guaranteed.
Partner with us on a retainer after the audit and within 90 days you will have a functioning AI Department. Here is exactly what that means.
01
Deployed automations
Live in your stack, running against real jobs. Not slideware.
02
Documented systems
SOPs, prompts and workflows your team can operate without us.
03
Performance reporting
Time saved, cost saved and error rates tracked every month.
04
Forward roadmap
The next quarter's builds sequenced, scoped and costed.
If we fail to deliver, we keep working at no cost until we do. And the audit itself is yours to keep either way, with no obligation to go further.
The humans behind the machines
AI is the tool. We are the strategists.
Every report, recommendation and roadmap you receive is shaped by real consultants sitting across the table from real operators. We map your workflows, challenge your assumptions and pressure-test every figure before it ever reaches your inbox.
Software alone will not transform your business. People who understand both the technology and the operational reality will. That is the work we do, in person, every single day.
Who you'll be working with
I'm Harry. I run UK AI Consulting and I'll be the one on-site with your team. I've spent the last few years building AI workflows inside UK businesses, including freight forwarders, and I only take on a handful of clients at a time so the work stays hands-on.
Your data stays in your systems. Nothing about your customers, pricing or customs is shared, sold, or used to train anyone else's AI.
FAQs
