One partner, three connected disciplines
Most engagements span more than one service line. Pick a single project, or use us end-to-end as your long-term technical partner.
AI & Automation
Autonomous workflows that take repetitive admin off your team — document intelligence, smart routing, email triage, and AI agents that integrate with the tools you already use.
Software Builds
Bespoke web and mobile applications — dashboards, internal tools, customer portals, ticketing systems. Real working software, shipped and maintained — not prototypes that get parked.
Connectivity & IT
Network design and installation across single sites or multi-property portfolios. FTTP and Openreach coordination, ISP procurement, ongoing IT support and Cyber Essentials.
From audit to operational
A straightforward process that gets your team something working early — not a six-month discovery phase.
Audit
We map your network status, software, and operational pain across the portfolio. Site visits, FTTP coverage check, IT inventory, conversations with the people doing the work.
Design
We propose specs, equipment lists, software scope, and a phased rollout plan. You see exactly what we'll deliver and what it costs before any work begins.
Deliver
We install on site, build the software, and integrate with your existing systems — with weekly progress and clear handovers. You stay informed without managing the work.
Support
Ongoing IT support, software updates, ISP and Openreach management. We're a long-term technical partner, not a one-off supplier.
One partner, not a chain of vendors
We work best with small-to-mid-sized UK organisations who want a single technical partner instead of stitching together a network installer, a software house, and an IT support firm.
Common patterns: growing teams outgrowing off-the-shelf tools, multi-site operators with fragmented connectivity, and founder-led businesses where IT decisions land on someone who already has another job. Whatever the shape, the brief is usually the same — get something working, properly, without spinning up an internal IT department to do it.
Multi-disciplinary by design
Most consultancies cover one of networks, software, or AI. ATFI covers all three under one roof — which is where most of the interesting and inconvenient work actually lives.
Multi-disciplinary by design
AI work that needs to integrate with custom software. Software that needs the network designed for it. Multi-site IT that needs both. We handle the in-between work without subcontracting it out.
Single point of contact
You call one person, not a project office. Faster decisions, less admin, no internal blame-passing between vendors when something goes wrong.
End-to-end delivery
Audit, design, deliver, support — all under one roof. We don't write strategies and walk away. We ship working things and stay involved.
Strategic and hands-on
Architecture and governance experience paired with practical engineering. We're as comfortable in boardrooms as we are on roofs and in lofts.
Bristol-based, UK-wide
Strong coverage across the South West and South East — Bristol, Bath, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, London. Happy to travel further for the right work.
Long-term technical partner
We monitor, support, and extend what we build. Not a one-off supplier — a relationship that compounds value as your operations grow.

ATFI is a Bristol-based technical consultancy. We work across three connected disciplines — AI and automation, custom software builds, and connectivity and IT. Most engagements span more than one. We act as a single point of contact, do the architecture and the hands-on engineering, and stay on as a long-term technical partner.
Most consultancies cover one of networks, software, or AI — rarely all three. ATFI is built around the in-between work that's hard to assign to any one supplier: AI automation that needs to integrate with a custom internal tool, software that needs the network designed for it, multi-site IT that needs both. We complement an existing supplier on a defined project, or take on the whole technical remit.
Both. We do the architecture and strategy and we ship working things — software deployed and maintained, networks installed and tested, AI tooling integrated and supported. We've been on roofs and in lofts as well as in boardrooms. Practical engineering, not just slide decks.
Projects range from a single-site network upgrade or a focused automation build, through to multi-month software-and-infrastructure programmes. We price by day rate for short pieces of work, project-based for defined scopes, and on a retainer for long-term technical-partner relationships. We always start with a free 30-minute call and a clear written proposal — no obligation. Contact us at [email protected] for a tailored quote.
Yes. We build bespoke web and mobile applications — dashboards, internal tools, customer portals, ticketing systems, integrations to existing platforms. Working software, shipped and maintained, not prototypes that get parked.
Claude and GPT-4o for LLM work, with practical patterns like retrieval-augmented generation, document intelligence, and tool-using agents. For automation we use Power Automate, n8n, Zapier, and bespoke code where the off-the-shelf options don't fit. For software we build with modern web stacks (Firebase, Power Platform, React) and integrate with whatever your team already runs on.
ATFI is Bristol-based and delivers across the UK — particularly the South West (Bristol, Bath, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon) and the South East (Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, London). We're happy to travel further for the right engagement.
