Where we help

Three connected service areas — you can start with any of them and build from there.

01

AI workflow
automation

AI-powered quoting tools, pre-press file checking, production scheduling, job status bots and MIS integration. Built around your existing systems — not instead of them.

02

Production
consultancy

Operational audits, supplier sourcing, ISO quality management, value stream mapping and workflow optimisation. The full production stack, from brief to despatch.

03

Robotic & physical
automation

Specification and project management of cobot installations, cutting table automation, finishing line integration and factory layout redesign.

04

AI readiness
audit

A one-day on-site assessment that maps your current workflow and identifies the highest-value automation opportunities — with clear ROI estimates and a prioritised action plan.

05

Ongoing retainer
support

Your production and AI department, without the headcount. Monthly support covering supplier management, system improvements and operational problem-solving.

06

Team training
& SOPs

Half-day and full-day workshops for print teams and agency creatives. AI tools for estimating, pre-press and customer comms — plus bespoke procedure documentation.

02 — Why Fosse Digital

Print first.
AI second.

Most consultants selling AI into manufacturing have never run a factory. They understand the tools but not the context — and that gap is where projects fail.

Fosse Digital is built on 25 years operating print and POS production at MD level — from pre-press and colour management through to ISO certification, MIS implementation, machine procurement and multi-site rollouts for brands including ASDA, Tesco, Puma and Ted Baker.

The AI and automation knowledge came after. That order matters.

How it works

01

Discovery call

30 minutes. We talk through your operation, your pain points and what you'd want to look different in 12 months. No charge, no obligation.

02

On-site audit

A full day on the factory floor. We map your workflow end-to-end and identify the highest-value opportunities for AI, automation or process improvement.

03

Prioritised plan

A written report with clear recommendations, effort vs impact scoring and realistic cost and ROI estimates. You decide what to act on and when.

04

Implement & support

We build the tools, manage the projects and embed the changes — then stay available on retainer to keep improving as your operation evolves.
