From first call to a working system.
Every engagement follows the same five steps, whether we are setting up your existing tools or building something new.
- 1
Intro call
A 30-minute conversation about the process you want to fix and the systems involved.
You getAn honest answer on whether we can help
- 2
Discovery
We review your systems, data quality, and how the work gets done today.
You getA written scope, timeline, and success measure
- 3
Build
We configure, connect, or build in short cycles, with a working version early.
You getA first version your team can use
- 4
Test with your team
We test against your real cases and with the people who will use it every day.
You getResults measured against the success measure
- 5
Launch and support
We deploy in your environment, train the team, and hand everything over.
You getFull ownership, or managed operations if you want us to run it
Typical timeline
Discovery
1–2 weeks
Build and test
First version in 4–8 weeks
Support
Monthly, optional
Three ways to work with us.
Set up the tools you already have, build what they cannot do, or have us run and improve it all after launch. Most clients start with one and add the others over time.
Implementation
Get more from the tools you already pay for. We configure them, connect them, and train your team.
Best when: Your tools can do the job but are not set up or connected.
- Configuration of your CRM, finance, and service tools
- Integrations between the systems you use
- Data cleanup and agreed metric definitions
- Team training and written handover
Custom development
We build what your existing tools cannot handle: AI agents, predictive models, and analytics apps.
First version live in 4–8 weeks
Best when: Repetitive, data-heavy work that no off-the-shelf tool covers.
- AI agents and workflows with human approval
- Document intelligence and search over your data
- Predictive models: churn, LTV, demand, and risk
- Blinko Central analytics app, if you need one
- Testing against your real cases before launch
- You own the code, models, and data
Managed operations
We keep integrations, agents, and models running after launch, improve them, and report the results.
Monthly
Best when: You want the results without hiring a data and AI team.
- Integration and data-quality monitoring
- Failure alerts and fixes
- Ongoing quality testing for agents and models
- Workflow improvements as your business changes
- Monthly results report from your analytics
Every engagement is scoped around your systems, data, and the process you want to fix.
Security and ownership
Agreed before we touch any data.
NDA first
Signed before any system access or data review.
Your environment
AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise.
Role-based access
Everyone sees only what their role needs.
Sensitive data protected
Masking and anonymization where required.
Every action logged
A full audit trail for data and AI actions.
You own everything
Code, models, pipelines, and documentation.
Common questions
Discovery usually takes one to two weeks. Setting up and connecting existing tools often takes a few weeks, and custom work typically has a first version live in four to eight weeks. We confirm the timeline in the written scope before any build starts.
For standard reporting, recurring KPI reviews, and self-service analysis, a BI tool is usually enough. We build custom when the work needs AI agents, predictions inside a workflow, routing and approvals, or tools for specific roles. Often the right answer is both: your BI tool for reporting, and Blinko for the parts it cannot do.
No. Sometimes a tool you already own can do the job once it is configured and connected properly. Discovery tells us which parts need custom work and which do not, and we will say so.
No. We review data quality at the start and include cleaning and validation in the build. If the available history is not enough for a report or model, we will say so before that work begins.
You do, completely and unconditionally. On project completion we transfer all source code, model artefacts, pipeline definitions, and documentation. We sign IP assignment agreements as standard. We keep no copy of your data and no licence over anything we build for you. Unless you choose managed operations, we also remove our access at handover.
Yes. Integrations are a core part of every project. Common ones include Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Google Sheets, and most REST APIs. We connect to your existing CRM, ERP, or data warehouse rather than replacing it, and confirm anything unusual during discovery.
