studies.
Four UK projects. What we changed and by how much.
Warehouse & Auto-Invoicing: hours of weekly Excel → 1 min.
A warehouse with too many pallets to track in Excel without errors, and invoicing that was melting into rework. Staff now scan pallets in and out from a phone or iPad; invoices generate on whatever cadence the client runs — weekly, monthly, per-client. Room built in for the services they'll add as they grow.
Read case studyBike Shop Systems Integration took online sales from ~£2k a year to £0k+ in year one.
A separate till and a separate WooCommerce site that never agreed on stock, plus tens of thousands of products with missing specs and no SEO. We consolidated both onto one cloud POS, then built per-brand AWS Lambda adapters that fetch authoritative tech specs and imagery, rewrite descriptions with AI, and surface in-stock supplier items automatically — all on a daily schedule with an owner-review email each morning.
Read case studyCafé Order Management cut ticket-to-plate time by ~0%.
Waitstaff take orders on an iPad; the kitchen sees a live queue of what to make, what's ready, and which table it's heading to. The reporting that came with it told the owner which dishes were selling and which tickets were slow — decisions that used to be guesswork.
Read case studyAn invite-only RSVP and attendees-only photo feed — every image approved by the organiser before it published.
A private RSVP for a single event, paired with an Instagram-style photo stream only the invited could see. Guests uploaded memories as the evening unfolded; every image went through the organiser for sign-off before it appeared in the feed.

Why we
exist.
Every growing small business outgrows its SaaS stack. The gaps get patched by spreadsheets, copy-paste, and the one person who knows how it all hangs together. We build the piece that actually fits. Owned, not rented.
Scoped together up front. Built with your team in the room, not from behind a ticket queue.
Built for your business.

AI for admin: how UK small businesses can win back a day a week
Admin is the tax every business pays, whatever the industry — and it's the easiest thing to hand to AI. Here are the recurring admin jobs AI handles well in 2026, from booking and staff rotas to onboarding, data entry and getting products live online, and how to start without ripping out the tools you already use.

We're now AI Fluency for Small Businesses certified — and here's the framework behind it
TryfanTech is now Anthropic AI Fluency for Small Businesses certified — our third Anthropic credential, alongside Claude with Amazon Bedrock and Claude Code in Action. Here's the 4D Framework for UK small businesses using AI: four competencies, two operational loops, and three reusable artefacts every SMB should walk away with.
Read articleFrequently asked questions.
Straight answers about timelines, fit, and outcomes before you commit.
Should a UK small business use Claude or ChatGPT?
Depends what you want it to do. Claude (Anthropic) does better at careful writing, long-document analysis, and tool use inside workflows. ChatGPT (OpenAI) does better at image generation, voice, and integrations with SaaS tools that already have an official plugin. For daily chat use the consumer-level differences are small enough that team preference after a week of trying it matters more than any feature comparison. We hold three Anthropic certifications and build production workflows on both providers' APIs; picking per step, not per provider, is what we do in practice — Haiku or GPT-4o-mini for cheap classification, Sonnet or GPT-4-class for nuance, GPT-Image for visuals. A Pro or Plus seat (about £15 a month) is the cheapest place to start.
Do you build AI workflows and automation for UK small businesses?
Yes — a lot of our work is exactly this. We build Claude- and ChatGPT-powered workflows for UK SMBs against the tools they already use (Xero, FreeAgent, HubSpot, Capsule, Stripe, GoCardless, Shopify), with approval gates wherever a bad output costs money or sends an email to a customer. A first build typically lands in the £8,000–£20,000 range and runs in pence per task once it is live. AI training for the team that uses it is part of the same conversation.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with UK small businesses — service businesses, e-commerce brands, hospitality, retail, logistics, and operations-heavy teams — that need websites, custom software, AI workflows, or automation to generate leads, reduce admin, and improve delivery speed.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope. Marketing websites and smaller automation projects are usually a fixed cost agreed upfront; custom software is phased into milestones with a clear price for each. We share an exact figure and timeline after a short scoping call — no estimates that drift later.
How quickly can a project start and launch?
Most projects start within 1–3 weeks. A focused marketing website can launch in 2–6 weeks, while custom software and automation projects are phased with clear milestones so you get value early.
Can you improve an existing system instead of rebuilding everything?
Yes. We often modernise existing websites, Excel-driven workflows, and internal tools first, then add targeted automation or custom software where it has the biggest commercial impact.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. We provide ongoing support, iteration, and performance improvements after launch so your website or platform keeps generating business as your needs change.
