What it costs today

What does repetitive work cost you today?

Run the numbers for your company: looking for information, copying data between systems, putting quotes together by hand.

FAQ

What people usually ask us

Do we have to change our ERP?

No. FairAI connects to the ERP you already use (PHC, for example), to your spreadsheets, drawings and email. The ERP stays the system of record, and we start read-only.

We already have AI in our ERP, or Copilot. Why do we need you?

Use it for what it does well. Copilot and the AI built into ERPs (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage…) help with emails, summaries, finance and alerts, and they are the same for every company. We take care of what is yours alone: the quote built from similar past jobs, re-planning when a rush order comes in, the service report from voice and photos. We connect to the ERP; we don’t replace it.

Is it right for a factory like ours?

If you make to order, by project or get new requests every day, yes: metalworking, fabrication, moulds, plastics or furniture. It is not for factories that mass-produce a single product.

Who decides what goes to the client?

Always a person. FairAI prepares the quote, the plan or the report, and the estimator, the planner or the technician reviews and decides.

Does our data leave the factory?

It does not have to. The AI can run on your own servers, with local models, without FairAI having access to the data. If you prefer the cloud, which costs less, we put in writing what leaves and where it goes.

How long until something is working?

We start with a 30-minute call. Then a pilot of about 1 month on a real case leaves a first version working with your data.
