AI consultancy for Wakefield businesses
Pro AI is a York-based AI development consultancy working with growing businesses across Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract and the Five Towns. We're forty-five minutes away and we come to you. We build custom automations, AI agents and document-processing systems for businesses of 10 to 200 people, starting with a fixed-price audit that tells you what's worth building before you build it.
What we do
Most of the businesses we work with have between 10 and 200 staff, already use a handful of digital tools, and lose hours every week to the manual work that sits between those tools. That's where we start.
Business process automation
Connecting the systems you already pay for (CRM, accounts, email, spreadsheets, job management) so data moves between them without someone re-typing it. Typically the fastest return on any AI project.
AI agents
Software that reads, decides and acts across your tools on its own: triaging enquiries, chasing documents, drafting reports, updating records. Built for your business, governed by rules you set.
Document processing
Turning PDFs, scans, contracts and forms into structured data, and generating the documents you need from them.
Fractional AI leadership
Strategy, vendor choice and governance from someone who builds these systems, for businesses that need a senior technical voice without a full-time hire.
What Wakefield businesses ask us about
Wakefield's business base is logistics and distribution along the M62 corridor, manufacturing, construction and the trades that serve them, and a large public-sector employer base. The work those businesses describe to us is the same: delivery and dispatch paperwork moved by hand between systems, supplier invoices matched to jobs in spreadsheets, compliance records kept in three places, and a management team that sees the numbers weeks after the fact. Those are the processes a custom automation removes, and the audit tells you which one to start with.
York to Wakefield is about 45 minutes by train via Leeds or by road via the A1 and M62. The Automation Audit and key build reviews happen at your premises; between them we work remotely.
Dispatch and delivery paperwork
Delivery notes, PODs and job sheets captured once and filed where they need to be, with exceptions flagged to a person.
Invoices, costs and cash flow
Every invoice, payment and cost read automatically, matched to the right job and cost code, and posted.
Enquiry and order handling
AI agents that read incoming orders and enquiries, log them, route them and chase what’s missing.
Compliance records
Certificates, inspections and training records tracked in one place, with renewals chased automatically.
Nearby work you can look at
We haven't yet built for a Wakefield business, and we'd rather say so. The nearest work is a short drive away: Leeds professional-services and manufacturing clients, a York construction firm whose invoicing and cash flow now update themselves, and East Yorkshire construction and operations businesses. The processes are the same ones Wakefield firms describe to us; the results are on our results page.
How an engagement works
Automation Audit
£495, fixed
A two-hour workshop with your team, at your premises or online, followed by a written map of where AI and automation would pay back in your business, with ROI estimates for each. You keep the map whether or not you go further.
Automation Sprint
from £2,500, one month
One focused system, built, tested and live within the month, with time-saved data reported weekly.
Automation Partnership
from £3,500 a month
Two or three systems built and supported over a minimum of three months, with monthly reporting on hours and cost saved. This is where most clients end up once the first system proves itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Wakefield, Castleford and Pontefract?
Yes — all of the Wakefield district. We're based in York, about 45 minutes away, and come to you for the audit and key build reviews. We haven't yet built for a Wakefield business; the nearest work is in Leeds, York and East Yorkshire.
Is a business of our size big enough for custom AI?
Our sweet spot is 10 to 200 staff. Below that there's rarely enough repetitive work to justify a custom build, and the audit will say so if that's the case.
What does it cost?
The Automation Audit is £495 fixed. A one-month Automation Sprint is from £2,500. Ongoing partnerships start at £3,500 a month. Same prices wherever you are.
