Custom software. Predictive modelling. Built for real impact.
Solyx advises on what technology can realistically do for your business, then builds it: predictive models, generative AI and automation, tailored to the way you work.
Software that fits the way you already work.
Most builds combine several of these. We choose the mix around your data, your processes and your decisions.
Predictive analytics
Models that turn your data into forecasts and rankings, so decisions get made earlier and with more confidence.
Generative AI
Language models and agents that read, summarise and act on documents at scale, grounded in your own data.
Data pipelines and integration
Your systems and third-party data sources connected, with data flowing into one place automatically.
Process automation
Manual, repetitive workflows automated end to end, so your team can spend its time on judgement.
Off the shelf, made to measure, or tailored.
Think of software the way you would think of a suit.
Off the shelf
Quick and affordable, but generic. Off-the-shelf tools rarely replace the manual judgement in your workflows.
Made to measure
A standard pattern with adjustments: typically generative AI connected to your systems with minimal engineering. A better fit, but the same underlying garment.
Tailored
Cut from your cloth. Predictive models, generative AI, data pipelines and automation, designed around your data and decisions. It replaces real work rather than adding another tool to manage.
A good tailor also tells you when off the peg fits. If an existing product genuinely solves your problem, we will say so, and we are happy to build around it.
Advisory and build, under one roof.
Most businesses know technology matters. Few have the time to work out what is feasible, what it costs, and what to build first. That is the job.
-
Advise
We map the realistic options, usually more than one, with an estimated build cost and ongoing running cost for each, and a clear recommendation for your circumstances.
-
Build
If you go ahead, the person who advised you builds it. No handover, and no gap between the pitch and the delivery.
No obligation. After advisory you can stop. The analysis is yours either way, and you can take it to anyone, including an in-house team.
Case study
Automated site selection. 5x faster predictions.
An application that automates a client's site-selection process end to end, bringing third-party data, operational data and generative AI together in one place.
How we work
Flexible delivery, built around your needs.
Transparent throughout
Working software and regular demonstrations, not months of silence after a kick-off deck. You work directly with the person building your software, with no account managers in between.
Flexible contracts
Structured around your needs, typically milestone-based deliverables, rather than a standard template.
Supported after delivery
Every build includes a support window, so issues surfaced by real use are fixed at no extra cost.
Honest about endings
Automation work is finite by design. Once it is delivered and running, you are not paying us to stay.
Why Solyx, rather than a hire or a large firm.
Versus hiring
A permanent technical hire commits you before you know what is feasible or how much work exists. Most automation projects are meant to end, with the software running on without its builder. Advisory first lets you decide with the full picture.
Versus a large consultancy
You work directly with the person doing the work, at rates that reflect a lean, AI-augmented practice rather than layers of overhead. The output is a working system with costed options behind it, not a strategy deck that stops short of implementation.
About Solyx
Solyx is run by Ben Birch. Ben combines a finance background, which gives real context for how businesses make decisions, with data science and software engineering, which is where the automation gains get found and built.
AI is built into our own workflows, so work moves quickly without the overheads of a larger firm, and those savings show up in the price.
