Case Studies
Two anonymised builds — Project Orion and Project Compass — showing how smarter systems replace manual work. Details anonymised; screenshots illustrative.
Project Orion — Enterprise automation
The challenge: A national chain with 800 locations needed to know what menu items were available at each site in real-time. They were relying on incomplete third-party data and manual checks.
- What we built: System monitoring 800 locations, tracking 140 menu items, checking 5 times per day
- How it works: Automated collection → data validation → live dashboard → weekly Excel reports for managers
- Reliability: Automatic error handling, retries if something fails, 24/7 monitoring
The results: They now have complete visibility across all locations, catch stock issues hours faster, and save 15+ hours per week that were previously spent on manual checking. Area managers get weekly Excel reports automatically.

Project Compass — Job market intelligence
The challenge: A national employment network wanted an always-on, recruiter-style cockpit that could monitor hyper-local job markets without adding headcount.
- Set once, run forever: Schedules per postcode, radius, keywords, days, and time windows. Each sweep polls our job-intelligence feed, dedupes, distance-filters, and stores the raw payload.
- Actionable alerts: Desktop notifications summarise new job counts; a click opens a rich report with stats, QA notes, and JSON download for analysts.
- Operations dashboard: Home screen shows active schedules, polling cadence, and a “recent runs” feed — perfect for stand-ups and client check-ins.
- Self-serve controls: A polished settings panel lets staff update cadence, windows, and notifications instantly, no developer required.
- Manual QA when needed: A separate checker mirrors automated logic for testing new territories or validating data quality.
The results: Clients now receive branded, turnkey job-market insights while internal teams stay inside one platform.

We typically start with one specific problem, prove the value quickly, then expand the system as you see results. No need to build everything at once.
