AI & automation consultancy · Belfast

Smarter operations, custom-built.

Veriphae is a Belfast-based AI and automation consultancy. We work with admin- and process-heavy businesses — the ones where half the team's week disappears into spreadsheets, inboxes and re-keying — and quietly build the software that takes it back.

What we do

Three outcomes, done properly.

We don't sell hours, frameworks or platforms. We sell three outcomes — and we organise everything we build around them. If your problem doesn't sit cleanly in one of these, we'll tell you, and we'll point you somewhere better.

01

Save time

Take the repetitive admin off your team's week — quietly, in the background.

  • Workflow automation between the systems you already pay for
  • Document generation — quotes, certificates, labels, invoices, reports
  • Inbox and notification routing that doesn't fall over
  • End-of-day, end-of-week, end-of-month reporting on autopilot
02

Make sense of your data

Turn ten years of records into something your team can actually ask questions of.

  • AI copilots and chat over your private data — read-only by default
  • Predictive analytics — what's likely to happen, what to watch for
  • Document understanding — extraction, classification, summarisation
  • Plain-English dashboards for the people who don't speak SQL
03

Build the thing

The custom software that joins it all up — and the bit your team actually uses.

  • Web apps, PWAs and mobile-first tools that install to a phone
  • Internal admin panels, dashboards and lightweight client portals
  • API integrations — logistics, payments, identity, telephony, signing
  • Voice agents and chat interfaces, in the field and on the phone

How we work

Small engagements. Short cycles. Working software.

We work in monthly slices with a clear deliverable at the end of each one. You can stop after any month, no fuss. That keeps everyone honest — and keeps us focused on actually shipping, instead of writing decks.

  1. 1

    Listen

    We start with a short discovery — usually a survey to a handful of people, sometimes a couple of calls. We're trying to understand what the work actually looks like, not what the org chart says it looks like.

  2. 2

    Frame

    We come back with a one-page brief, a few wireframes, and a sensible scope for month one. No 80-page strategy decks. No discovery for the sake of discovery.

  3. 3

    Build

    We build in short cycles — you see real software inside two weeks, not at the end. We use whatever stack fits the job; we don't have a hammer to sell.

  4. 4

    Hand over

    We write the documentation as we go, not at the end. When we leave, we leave a system your team can keep running — including the option to take it in-house entirely.

What we won't do

We won't lock you into a platform we resell. We won't run a six-month discovery before you see any code. We won't put junior delivery people on senior problems and call it “agile”. The people on the proposal are the people on the work.

About

A small consultancy. Senior people on the work.

Veriphae Ltd is led by Andy McDonald, Managing Director — a hands-on technology lead with deep experience building and integrating the systems that admin- and process-heavy businesses run on every day. Logistics, laboratory services, scheduling, compliance, customer-facing portals, internal tools.

We work with a tight network of senior designers, integration engineers and AI specialists, brought in only when the work calls for them. We don't pad the team to bill more hours, and the person you talk to in week one is the person still on the work in week twelve.

Veriphae is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and works with clients across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and North America.

Get in touch

Tell us where things are stuck.

The fastest way to start is a short email describing what's getting in your team's way. We'll come back within a working day with a few questions, an idea of whether we're the right fit, and what a sensible first month could look like.
