Innovative AI-Driven Development
Enterprise-grade build, without enterprise-grade drama.
Big-company systems used to need big-company budgets, an entire IT department
and the patience of a saint. Not anymore.
Our AI-driven, subscription-based development levels the playing field for SMEs
and lean teams – giving you serious capability without the scary up-front
cheques, “surprise” change requests or six-month committee meetings.
We use AI where it actually helps – to speed up scoping,
development and testing – then spread the cost into a simple monthly
subscription that includes support and an evolving platform.
Why specialised, connected development suddenly matters a lot
Businesses with strong, connected systems will get the real competitive advantage
from AI and automation. Everyone else will be stuck copying and pasting between
tools while their competitors quietly pull away.
This subscription service lets you not only keep pace, but become the business
other people end up copying.
Turn “software chaos” into a joined-up stack
Make new AI tools actually usable, not just “cool”
Build IP into your systems, not just your people

How this dovetails with our CORE transformation offering
The subscription service is the delivery engine that sits alongside our CORE
Transformation Partnership. CORE helps you decide what to focus on next;
this service makes sure it actually gets built, shipped and bedded in – without
blowing up your diary or your budget.

How pricing & commitment work
Under the bonnet, each piece of development has an estimated build cost. Instead of
sending you a chunky one-off invoice, we spread that cost over 18 months
to create your monthly subscription. If we get the estimate wrong and it turns out
to be more work than we thought, you don’t get a surprise bill – our
payback just takes longer.
You commit to a minimum of 24 months of subscription for that piece of
capability. In return, you don’t just get the build – you get ongoing bug fixes,
support and minor updates baked in, for as long as you keep using the system.
For example: a £4,000 development would be spread over 18 months
(around £222 per month) on an ongoing basis. You simply keep paying the
subscription for as long as you want the capability live and supported.
For you
- No large up-front project invoice.
- Clear monthly cost tied to real capability.
- Bug fixes, support & minor updates included.
- 24-month minimum, then keep it as long as it earns its keep.
For us
- We carry the risk if we under-estimate the work.
- We’re incentivised to build it right first time.
- We earn our money back over time, not through change orders.
- We only win if the system keeps delivering value for you.
Real-world example
Advance Online help local businesses get found online and win more work. They’re
good at what they do. Really good.
But when it came to their own sales order process? That was a different story.
Picture the scene: a salesperson sits across from a customer. The conversation
has flowed effortlessly, trust has been built, and the customer is nodding,
ready to commit. The outcome feels certain.
Then comes the stumble. The salesperson says, “I’ll email you the paperwork.”
And just like that, the spark fades. The momentum stalls. What could have been a
signed agreement in the moment turns into a waiting game. Emails pile up,
reminders are sent, back-and-forth drags on. Sometimes the partnership is
sealed. Other times, the opportunity just… drifts away.
The team knew what they needed: quote and sign there and then, on the spot,
while everyone’s still excited. Simple.
The “nearly, but not quite” problem: they had a decent CRM with automation
features. It could do some of what they needed. But only some. The rest?
manual workarounds. Re-typing. Chasing. The classic “90% solution” that still
leaves you doing the annoying 10% by hand – and that 10% is usually where
mistakes creep in.
So we built them something fit for purpose. Under the subscription model – no
big scary invoice, just a small monthly amount – we created a custom sales
order and e-signing module that does the full job. Not “nearly there” –
completely there.
Now, the salesperson sits down with the customer, builds the quote on the spot,
captures their electronic signature right there and then, and it all flows
straight into the back office. No paper. No re-keying. No manual gymnastics.
Just done.
Headline results
- Double-digit uplift in close rates from signing on the spot.
- Far less chasing, re-typing and manual admin.
- Smoother experience for customers and the back-office team.
All delivered as an affordable subscription. As Advance Online grow, we continue
to tweak and extend the solution under the same model – helping them stay one
step ahead of competitors, without re-inventing their stack every few years.
How the subscription model actually works
No fixed-price trap, no open-ended day-rate burn. Just steady, low-risk
progress you can see every month.
We map your current systems and processes, then use AI to model options,
highlight quick wins and avoid expensive rabbit holes.
Each month has a clear, agreed outcome – a feature live, a process
automated or an integration tightened – so you always know what you’re
paying for.
As the business changes, we adjust the roadmap. Your platform grows with
you, instead of forcing a painful “rip and replace” every few years.
Is this the right model for you?
- You’ve outgrown basic out-of-the-box tools and “good enough” workarounds.
- You don’t have (or don’t want) a big internal dev team to manage.
- You want to build IP into your systems, not just add more apps and plugins.
- You’d rather make steady, low-risk progress each month than bet big on one project.
