From spreadsheets and chat groups to one application your company runs on.
Platinur is a data and AI engineering firm that works with operations-led businesses: construction, distribution, manufacturing, services. We start with the data you already have, put it in order and in the right hands, then build the application your workflows run on.
How we work
Understanding the business
We interview the people who carry out the work and review the tools they rely on, including spreadsheets, chat groups and email. We document how work moves between people and systems, where it is delayed or lost, and who owns each part of it.
Assessing the data
We check the data you already have for quality and completeness: what is missing, what is duplicated, what does not reconcile between systems, and who should own each record.
Designing the blueprint
We bring the workflows into one model that shows where information is lost, what to improve and where AI fits, and from it a blueprint of the application: its data model, roles and permissions. Each recommendation is costed and phased.
Building and running
We fix the data first, then build the application one workflow at a time, with rigorous review throughout. We hand over with full documentation, or run it for you and add workflows as the company changes.
What we offer
The assessment
We interview the people who do the work and review every tool and data source they rely on, including spreadsheets, chat groups and email. We bring what we find into one model of how the company runs, and assess the data underneath it: its quality, its gaps, and who owns each record. We present the results in a working session with your team, and leave you a plan you can act on with or without us.
What you receive
- A model of how your company works, showing where information is delayed or lost.
- A data quality and ownership report: what is missing, what does not reconcile, and who should own what.
- A blueprint of the application your workflows should run on, with its data model, roles and permissions, and where AI fits.
- A phased, costed plan. Everything is yours to keep, whether or not we build.
The build
We turn the blueprint into the application your company runs on. The data comes first: we fix and complete it, set ownership, and bring it into one source of truth connected to the systems you keep, such as accounting, ERP or CRM. Then we build the application one workflow at a time, starting with the one that matters most, with the right permissions, security and audit trail, and AI built in where it earns its place.
How it runs
- Data foundation: fix, complete and consolidate the data, with a named owner for each record.
- First workflow: the one that costs the most today, live and in use within weeks.
- Further workflows: added in phases until the work held in spreadsheets, chat threads and inboxes runs in one place.
- Run and grow: hand over with full documentation, or we run it for you and add workflows as the company changes.
What changes for you

Every finding is traced
Each one links back to the interview, discussion or data check it came from.
The model grows with the work
Workflows, owners and data take shape version by version as we learn.
It becomes the blueprint
What the model shows is what we design and cost the application from.
Where Platinur comes from
Fit the tool to the company, not the company to the tool.
Our team comes from years of improving the data platforms companies run on, where we kept seeing businesses bend their work around products they only partly need.
What companies ask us
How long does the assessment take, and what does it cost?
Two to four weeks, at a fixed price agreed before we start.
What if we stop after the assessment?
You keep the model, the data report and the costed blueprint, and can act on them with anyone. There is no obligation to continue.
How is the build priced?
In phases, each with a written scope and price. You can stop after any phase.
Do we have to replace our ERP or accounting system?
No. We connect to the systems you keep and build around them.
Where does AI fit?
Inside the application, on specific jobs such as drafting quotes, reading invoices and delivery notes, flagging records that do not reconcile and answering questions from your data. The assessment shows which are worth doing for you.
Who owns the result, and who runs it?
You own the application, the data and the documentation. We hand over, or run it for you on a retainer.
