A financial services organization was spending 40+ hours every week manually processing requests for trading exchange holiday calendars. Every request required employees to interpret emails, identify exchanges, map them to official MIC codes, generate the relevant data, and prepare a response.
Paper-based processes are still common across manufacturing and FMCG companies, especially for contracts, protocols, and invoices that move through multiple departments. For one of our long-term partners, this meant hours of manual handling, higher error rates, and audit processes that took longer than they should.
An industrial equipment company had decades of technical documentation locked in PDFs and images, needing to transform the repository into an accessible, searchable asset. This created knowledge silos, customer delays, and more. The solution is a “machine guru”, reducing search time by making every document queryable through natural language.
One of Europe's fastest-growing business finance platforms were growing their customer base rapidly. They had a growing need of stability and managing bug firefighting. Here's how structure quality assurance managed to provide long-term NPS increase.
AI is not just a trendy word anymore - it's becoming integral to operations and crucial for data automation. But many AI projects get built without the long game in mind. The pilot impresses, gets handed over, and the tool gets bypassed due to a lack of real usability.
Over the past two years, our team has delivered AI systems across multiple enterprise projects spanning industrial equipment, financial services, and project management. The technical approaches varied significantly: fine-tuned LLMs, multimodal RAG, computer vision pipelines, AI agents.
At PLAN A, we approach every AI engagement through Forward Deployed Engineering - embedding our engineers directly into client environments rather than building from the outside in. This means we work with your data, your workflows, and your teams from day one. The result is systems that get adopted, deliver ROI, and become core infrastructure, rather than experiments.
The AI-powered assistant for QA teams and engineering leaders who need faster test planning, better test documentation access, and centralized QA knowledge.
For over two years, PLAN A relied on an external web-based shift tracking platform. However, as the company scaled, costs increased significantly. The system required additional maintenance efforts, had frequent technical errors, and lacked flexibility for customisation. Exporting reports became cumbersome, and employees often forgot to log official holidays, sick leaves, and days off, leading to inaccurate reports for clients. A tailored internal solution became necessary to address these challenges.
The AI-driven biomimicry platform is a web-based solution designed to help engineers and researchers find nature-inspired solutions to real-world problems. The platform allows users to design and oversee projects applying nature's approaches to solving problems to human and environmental issues by utilising the principles of biomimicry.
Assume that a research team studying sustainable architecture is looking for ways to cut down on energy use. They used the platform to analyse termite mound ventilation systems, applying these principles to design energy-efficient buildings with improved airflow and temperature regulation. By leveraging AI-driven insights, the team was able to optimise their design based on nature’s proven strategy.
