We build and run AI automations for Wigan manufacturers, food producers and distributors. Much of the borough’s industrial work is on the 100-hectare Martland Park estate, home to Heinz’s manufacturing complex, with more at Wheatlea, Lamberhead, Kirkless and Westwood Park Drive. Orrell’s employment area is the smaller Hewitt Business Park.
What we automate for Wigan firms
-
Food production
Retailer specifications, allergen matrices and traceability requests answered from batch records the moment they’re asked for.
-
Logistics and distribution
Collection bookings, trailer tracking updates and proof-of-delivery chasing for the Martland Park and Wheatlea sites.
-
Manufacturing
Maintenance requests, production reports and customer order acknowledgements produced from the shop-floor data.
-
Care providers
Visit scheduling changes, missed-call handling and the monthly figures commissioners ask for.

Questions from Wigan businesses
Wigan’s 40 minutes from you. Do you still come out?
Yes. The scoping sessions and handover are on site; the build runs remotely, and you watch it work on your own data before signing off.
We supply supermarkets. Can this cope with their paperwork?
Retailer paperwork is repetitive and rule-bound, which is what automation handles well. The specification or audit pack can be generated from your records each time a customer asks.
Our goods-in is still paper-based.
Paper can be read. Delivery notes and GRNs can be photographed at the dock, matched to the purchase order and flagged the same day if something doesn’t agree.
Do you work with home care providers?
Yes. We connect to your rostering and care planning systems to handle the admin around visits, while decisions about care stay with your staff.
