Need a reliable tech partner?

Let's walk the journey together

From the first conversation about what is slowing you down, through to a system your team owns — one studio, four ways we help.

AI & digital consulting

A use-case review before any model or platform decision, so digital spend goes where it measurably pays back.

Software services

Bespoke web, mobile and line-of-business systems, engineered on current technology and handed over documented.

AI & data services

The data work underneath the model — collection, cleanup, labelling and quality checks — so the results can be trusted.

Automation & integration

From design to handover: workflows, system-to-system bridges and live monitoring that remove the manual steps.

How an engagement runs

Four steps, no mystery

The same path whether you are one person with a spreadsheet problem or a group running several sites.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    A short technical review of the systems, spreadsheets and handoffs you run today.

  2. Step 2

    Design

    A fixed-scope plan: what we engineer, what you buy off the shelf, what stays as is.

  3. Step 3

    Engineer

    Staged, reversible releases delivered by senior engineers — no trading day interrupted.

  4. Step 4

    Support

    Monitoring, documentation and a person who answers, on site or remote.

Purpose-Engineered Software Systems

The ThatEngineer suite — document intelligence, reconciliation, system-to-system sync, workflow automation and engineering to order, scaled to whatever size you are today.

AI & Intelligent Automation

AI that earns its place

We add AI where it measurably pays back — on top of the data your systems already capture — and we say so plainly when ordinary automation is the cheaper answer.

Predict, don't just monitor

Anomaly detection and forecasting models over the telemetry you already collect — so a failing pump, a drifting cold room or a slow month shows up before it costs you.

Read the paperwork for you

Document and OCR extraction feeding askThat and bridgeThat, so manuals stay searchable and invoices, delivery notes and orders land in your accounting or ERP system without anyone retyping them.

Judgement inside workflows

AI-assisted checks, classification and routing inside flowThat steps — triaging requests, grading photo evidence and sending each job to the right person automatically.

Work, in outcomes

What changes after we engineer it

Before

Stock counts re-keyed into accounting every night.

What we engineered

A two-way sync between the till system and Xero, with an exception queue.

After

Six hours of admin a week gone; month-end closes on the first day.

Before

Faults only noticed once a line had already stopped.

What we engineered

Sensor telemetry aggregated into live thresholds and alerting.

After

Issues caught before downtime, with a record of every event.

Before

Quotes, jobs and invoices spread across three spreadsheets.

What we engineered

One internal tool covering the whole job lifecycle with roles and audit trail.

After

Nothing lost between people; owners see live job margin.

Why businesses pick us

Local Availability

ThatEngineers on site when it matters — whether that is a shop counter, an office or a plant floor — with remote cover for everything else.

Zero-Downtime Deployments

Staged, reversible releases that never interrupt a trading day, a shift or a month-end run.

Precision Engineering

Systems specified against how your business actually works, not a generic template.

Transparent Costing

Fixed-scope quotes sized to your budget — small first phases welcome, no surprise retainers.

That's who we are

The values we hold ourselves to

A boutique studio with senior engineers on every job, deliberately sized so each client gets real attention rather than a queue position.

Presence & availability

You get the engineer

No account layer, no handover. The person who scopes your system is the person who engineers it — and who answers when you call.

Empathy

Learn the work first

We sit with the counter, the office or the floor before we change anything, so the software fits the day as it is actually run.

Honesty & transparency

Say the number early

Scope, cost and trade-offs on the table up front — including the times we tell you the work is not worth doing.

Quick & precise

Ship small, ship often

Working pieces in weeks rather than a big reveal in a year, each one specified properly so value lands while the project is still running.

Partnership

Yours to keep

Documented, standard tooling and your own accounts. Stay with us because it works, not because you are locked in.

Every department, every industry

From HR, to Finance, to Admin, to Marketing, to Industry — you Envision That. we Engineer That.

Looking to modernise how your business runs?

Your business deserves systems that keep up with it. Start with a short technical review and we will tell you plainly what is worth engineering, what is worth buying, and what to leave alone.
