UK AI Automation AgencyProduct Engineering Studio
Ibris Dev is a UK AI automation agency and product engineering studio. We build AI agents, workflow automation, web applications and machine learning systems for businesses that want to grow output without growing headcount. Software that pays for itself, then keeps paying.
What we do
Three Ibris Dev practices, one standard: AI automation, web app development and machine learning that goes into production and stays there.
Business process automation that removes entire categories of work, not another chatbot pilot.
Custom web app development to production standard: internal platforms, SaaS products and AI applications your customers feel the difference in.
Machine learning consultancy that turns the data you already own into margin, forecasts and faster decisions.
Who we help
Ibris Dev works with UK companies of every size, from founder-led teams to established groups. What matters is not turnover, it is repetition: if your team runs the same process hundreds of times a month, there is margin sitting in it.
Client onboarding, document automation and compliance workflows for firms that bill by the hour.
Quoting, scheduling and reconciliation agents for operators moving freight, fleets and inventory.
Reporting automation, document AI and decision systems built for audit trails and regulators.
Admin automation and patient-flow systems that give clinical time back to clinicians.
Production planning, quality data and forecasting systems for plants that run on tight margins.
Demand forecasting, pricing intelligence and operations automation for high-volume sellers.
Tender automation, project reporting and document control for contractors and property groups.
CV parsing, candidate matching and timesheet automation for agencies placing at volume.
Case studies
Every Ibris Dev engagement is scoped against a measurable outcome, from web app builds to AI automation. Browse five representative engagements.
12 wksidea to production launch
A compliance services firm was delivering everything through spreadsheets, email and PDFs: no product to sell, no recurring revenue, and a delivery cost that grew with every client.
Ibris Dev designed and engineered a multi-tenant SaaS platform end to end: client portal, automated compliance checks, document generation, audit trails and billing, built to production standard from the first release.
Launched in twelve weeks. The firm now sells a product instead of hours: a new recurring revenue line with delivery costs that no longer scale with headcount.
63%of queries self-served
A commercial insurance broker's account handlers were drowning in routine client queries about policy documents, renewal dates and claims status, arriving by phone and email all day.
A secure client portal with an LLM assistant grounded in each client's own policies and documents (retrieval-augmented, with citations), integrated with the broker's management system, plus human handoff for anything judgement-based.
63% of routine queries now self-served in the portal, faster renewals, and account handlers spending their time on broking rather than lookups.
4,100hours reclaimed / year
A multi-depot UK logistics business was quoting jobs and reconciling carrier invoices by hand, three full-time roles of copy-and-paste between email, spreadsheets and a legacy TMS.
We deployed AI agents that read inbound enquiries, price them against live carrier rates, and issue quotes in minutes, plus a reconciliation agent that matches invoices to jobs and flags exceptions for a human to approve.
Around 4,100 staff hours a year reclaimed, quote turnaround down from same-day to under ten minutes, and exception-only invoice review.
9d → 36honboarding time
A growing advisory firm was losing new clients in a nine-day onboarding maze: engagement letters, KYC checks, document collection and system setup all handled manually across four teams.
A single automated onboarding pipeline: document AI extracts and verifies client information, agents prepare engagement letters and compliance checks, and every handoff is orchestrated with humans approving, not administering.
Onboarding cut from nine days to thirty-six hours, with a full audit trail for compliance and zero lost handoffs.
-38%stockout rate
An established online retailer was forecasting demand in spreadsheets, overbuying slow lines while bestsellers went out of stock during peak trading.
A machine learning forecasting system trained on their own sales history, seasonality and promotions calendar, feeding daily purchasing recommendations directly into their buying workflow.
Stockouts down 38%, working capital freed from dead inventory, and a purchasing team that works from a ranked recommendation list instead of raw exports.
Representative engagements, anonymised for client confidentiality.
How we work
How Ibris Dev takes an AI automation or product engineering engagement from first conversation to running system.
An automation audit of your operation: where the hours go, what the data supports, and which workflows pay back fastest. You get a costed roadmap, not a slide deck.
We blueprint the system: architecture, integrations, guardrails and the human approval points. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed success metrics.
Senior engineers ship to production standard: tested, secured, documented and integrated with the systems you already run.
We operate, monitor and optimise what we build. Automation compounds, and each quarter it should be doing more, not decaying.
Why Ibris Dev
A British supplier you can contract under English law, with data residency and GDPR compliance designed in from day one, not retrofitted.
Every engagement is delivered by senior engineers who ship production systems. No pyramid of juniors, no strategy decks that never become software.
We scope every AI automation project against a number: hours reclaimed, cost removed, revenue unlocked. If it can't be measured, we won't pitch it.
Tested, monitored, documented and secured. We build automation your operations can depend on at 2am, not demos that die after the pilot.
Costed roadmaps and fixed-price delivery. You know what you're buying, what it returns, and when it lands.
Ibris Dev is the UK arm of an international engineering group: a new name here, with years of delivery behind it.
What clients say
“They automated in eight weeks what we'd been talking about for two years. The quoting agent alone paid for the engagement in a quarter.”
“The rare technology partner that talks about our margin before their stack. Everything they shipped is still running, still measured, still improving.”
“We'd been burned by an AI pilot that went nowhere. Ibris Dev built something our team actually uses every day, and can prove what it saves.”
FAQ
An AI automation agency designs and builds systems that take over repetitive business processes such as quoting, reporting, document handling, reconciliation and customer follow-up, using AI agents, workflow automation and machine learning. At Ibris Dev we go further than most agencies: we're a product engineering studio too, so everything we build is production-grade software, integrated with your existing systems and measured against a return.
It depends entirely on scope, and you will know the number before you commit to anything. Every Ibris Dev engagement starts with a costed roadmap: we identify which workflows are worth automating, estimate the return in hours reclaimed and cost removed, then quote fixed-scope and fixed-price against it. First builds are deliberately scoped around the fastest-payback workflow, so you can start with a single automation, prove it, and expand from there. No open-ended day rates and no surprise invoices.
A discovery and automation audit typically takes two to three weeks. A first production automation usually ships within six to twelve weeks. We deliberately scope the first build around the fastest-payback workflow, so you see measurable results in the first quarter.
Yes. Ibris Dev is a UK-registered company and every system we build is designed around UK GDPR: data residency, access controls, audit trails and human approval points where decisions matter. We'll happily work within your existing security and compliance requirements, including on-premise or private-cloud deployment.
We work with UK businesses in professional services, logistics and supply chain, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, e-commerce, construction and recruitment. Size matters far less than repetition: whether you are a ten-person team or an established group, if the same process runs hundreds of times a month there is usually automation worth building. We scope the work to the business, not the other way round.
Yes. Product engineering is one of our three practices. Ibris Dev designs and builds web applications, SaaS products and AI-powered software end to end: architecture, design, development, LLM integration, deployment and ongoing iteration. Many clients start with automation and then have us build the products their customers use.
Yes. MVP and SaaS development is core Ibris Dev work: we take a product from concept to production launch, typically in eight to sixteen weeks, with architecture, UX design, development, cloud infrastructure and billing all handled by one senior team. We build the first version to production standard, so your MVP is a foundation, not a prototype you throw away.
Yes. You don't need a rebuild to add AI. We integrate LLM assistants, document intelligence, search and recommendation features into existing products via APIs, using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounded in your own data so answers are accurate and cited. We handle evaluation, guardrails and monitoring, so AI features behave in production, not just in a demo.
Not brochure or marketing websites. Ibris Dev focuses on web app development: software that people log into and work in, such as client portals, internal platforms, dashboards, booking and quoting systems, SaaS products and AI-powered tools. If you need a marketing site we are happy to point you to people who do that well. If you need a web application that runs part of your business, that is exactly what we build.
We do. Legacy modernisation is a common starting point for Ibris Dev clients: we audit the existing system, then either incrementally re-engineer it or rebuild it as a modern web application, preserving your data and workflows while removing the maintenance drag. Automation is usually designed in at the same time, so the new system removes work rather than just moving it.
