AI Consultancy in Hereford
Practical AI and software for Hereford and Herefordshire businesses, from an independent developer and IT company with a long history in industrial and engineering systems.
A county of farming, food, engineering and a cyber security cluster
Herefordshire's economy leans towards farming, food and drink, and engineering supply chains, with a large share of small and medium-sized businesses spread across market towns and rural sites. Hereford also has its Enterprise Zone at Rotherwas, branded Skylon Park, which is home to the Midlands Centre for Cyber Security.
That mix tends to produce practical questions about AI, and they are the right ones to ask first. They are the ones we start with.
Questions worth asking first
How do we use it without sending sensitive data somewhere it should not go?
Will it work with the equipment and systems we already have?
What happens when the person who set it up leaves?
Three places the work usually is
Grounded in what we have actually built and supported, not everything AI could do in theory.
Production and records
For food, farming-supply and engineering businesses: analysis of the production, yield and quality data you already record, and the batch, traceability and compliance paperwork around it.
Joining up systems
Connecting the systems that do not talk to each other, orders, stock, accounts and the equipment that holds the data, so nothing is typed in twice. We work with legacy equipment and older software.
Using AI safely
Working out what staff are already doing with consumer AI tools, setting usage rules that fit your obligations, and choosing tools whose data handling suits what you hold.
Industrial systems are where Tim started
Tim Winstanley began as an electronic engineer, and his first software work was on the factory side: interfacing CAD/CAM systems with machine tools. He has been writing software since 1993, and Resolve has been based in Malvern since 2001.
We are independent. We do not sell platforms or earn commissions from software vendors, and we look at what you actually do before deciding where technology genuinely helps. We also support what we build, so if something breaks or needs changing you call the same team.
- Forty years in technology, writing software since 1993
- Independent advice, no platform commissions
- Works with existing equipment and legacy systems
- Under an hour from Malvern; on site in Herefordshire, remote across the UK
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in Herefordshire, or only Worcestershire?
Both. Our IT support covers Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, and AI and software work can be delivered anywhere in the UK, on site where it is useful.
Can AI work with older equipment and systems?
Often, yes. We have integrated with systems that were never designed for modern connectivity. Where direct integration is not possible, a data export or a simple capture step can bridge the gap. We check what is practical for your equipment before recommending anything.
Is it safe to use AI with our business data?
It depends on the tools and how they are set up, and it is one of the first things to get right. Staff may already be pasting sensitive information into consumer AI tools. We help you see what is actually happening, put sensible usage rules in place, and choose tools whose data handling suits what you hold.
What does it cost to start?
A half-day AI Strategy Session is £450. You get a clear, jargon-free report with specific recommendations, realistic costs and an honest view of what is worth doing now, what can wait, and what to ignore.
