Strategic AI Consultancy for Sustainable Growth

Any business across the UK that is considering implementing AI systems - from simple automations, to advanced cross-department AI integration can benefit from AI consultancy from flowio.

AI strategy, readiness and auditing is pivotal to successful AI system and automation projects. Understanding your AI maturity, and where to focus first will significantly improve your ability to maximise ROI from AI automation projects within your business.

Our AI consultants at flowio work across a huge range of different UK business types, from SMBs to enterprise, and across a variety of sectors spanning hospitality, trades, construction, financial services, professional services, B2B and more. We know what works, and what needs fixed first.

Once we have assessed your requirements, our AI consultants will deep-dive into your business processes, system infrastructure, data pipelines, SOPs, and internal workings. We offer both in-person for UK businesses, or virtual sessions to gain a deep understanding of your business.

Based on your AI readiness maturity audit - our AI consultants will then develop a comprehensive AI strategy unique to your business which will pinpoint tactical initiatives, data pipeline recommendations, ROI frameworks and recommended next steps.

If you have also engaged with us for implementation, our AI consultants will develop a growth-led roadmap of implementation - and manage this process end-to-end.

AI consultancy varies widely by business requirements and scope, however we recommend a typical level of investment between £2.5k - £10k per month for optimal results.

This largely depends on the size of business, technology infrastructure, complexity of project, and ongoing support level needs. During our 30 minute consultation call, we provide an accurate estimate based on your requirements and scope of project.

AI consultancy typically pays for itself over a period of 6 months - for instance, a £5k per month project that saves your business 20 hours per week will provide positive ROI within a 6 month period.

Hiring an AI consultant typically delivers 3-5x faster ROI than building in-house. While internal teams can cost upwards of £80-£150k annually for AI specialists (plus 6-12 months of recruitment) consultants provide immediate expertise at a fraction of the cost.

The key advantages of hiring an AI consultant over hiring an in-house team include speed to market, proven frameworks, expertise across different businesses, non hiring risks and focused outcomes custom to your business.

We offer in-person engagement to UK businesses, and prefer to meet our clients so that we can gain a deep understanding of internal business processes to deliver optimal results. We currently operate in this way with businesses in Scotland, and some across the UK. Having our AI consultants come to your office delivers benefits over online only providers, including full accountability, personal strategic support, and an engagement built from trust. This is what we prefer.

For businesses further away, and also in the UK, we can deliver full AI consultancy, strategy and implementation 100% remotely. We discuss your requirements during our initial 30 minute consultation call.

Yes, we have, on numerous occassions engaged with clients that already have an AI automation agency and are either not satisfied with results, or are looking for an alternative model of support. For those looking for an unbiased opinion or view, we can audit your existing automations, systems and infrastructure to identify improvements in data design, automation flows and optimsation.

We can also work alongside internal AI development staff you may have in your business to provide additional resource, support and implementation.

An investment into AI consultancy can be a cautious investment for any business initially, however 90% of our clients see positive ROI within 3-6 months when following our expert strategic guidance. Automations and AI improvements are rigorously measured within our ROI frameworks, and allow you to prove ROI to your business.

Take, for example a suite of AI automations that reduce manual admin time by 50 hours per week by month 6. That is at least 600 hours worth of time saved in 3 months, provided the first 3 months is strategy, auditing and implementation.

Our AI consultants will provide you with the technical expertise you need for your business, and be able to explain to you in plain English what is being implemented. We have experience in working with businesses who have no technical expertise in-house, and those that have whole departments dedicated to automation, and AI.

The benefit you will get from engaging with flowio as your AI Growth Partner will be expert-led AI strategic advice from our AI consultants at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.
