We charge for an initial assessment at cost. Thereafter we charge on a cost-plus basis for time and materials. Working with an international engineering team we can put together a team cheaper than almost any other consultants – but managing from the UK we ensure top quality development at all times.

We don’t have a fixed office, our directors do our business development, and our team has a flexible structure, which means we can achieve 100% utilisation – our clients don’t pay for our team to be in place when they’re not using them.

We can draw on over 20 engineers when needed – however we have a flexible structure, which means that we can expand our team when needed by large projects or pressing deadlines.

Although we have worked with companies of all size, we typically work with single- person start ups up to established organisations of less than 1000 people and less than £100m turnover pa.

Although Tectum was formed to help small to medium businesses gain value from AI, and still specialises in this, we found that many small businesses require support with other digital technology challenges, and that our capabilities in building applications economically are well suited to helping with those.

We typically support when a company lacks the resources to solve a technology problem within a given deadline, or where a previous project has failed to deliver expected results. We work on projects including the following:

> Website design and build
> CRM, ERP and database build and rebuild
> App design and build
> Business intelligence, data visualisation and analytics
> AI: chatbots, image recognition, text extraction

Tectum AI has been in business for 6 years as of 2023.

One of our core specialisms is in conceiving, designing, prototyping and producing applications for both internal and external use.

We have in the past provided general business consultancy and go to market strategy for businesses in a variety of sectors, and our directors have significant experience in this area.

With a distributed team and practice in working remotely, we can work in any territory worldwide. If needed we can place teams anywhere in Europe and North America.

From our team we can draw on expertise across all major sectors – we have experience in turning our hand to any sector.

Every project is led by one of our directors, and you will get the specific individual attention of your assigned director throughout the project.
