Once you connect an AI tool to your inbox or your customer records, you’re processing personal data - often through a company based outside of the UK. You are responsible for making sure the handling of this data is GDPR compliant.

Four things to check before linking up a new tool:

- What the tool does with the data
- Where the data is stored
- Whether it trains on your content
- Who on your team can see what

Still unsure if you're compliant? Send us a message.

In February, your spreadsheet is fine.

In August, four people have edited it before lunch and nobody knows which version is right.

Every summer follows the same pattern. Here's why it happens, and how you can take action.

Peak season exposes the systems that cope fine the rest of the year. How to spot the signs while they’re happening – and what to do before next summer.

We're always telling clients to check whether the choices they made a few years ago are still the right ones - and when it comes to auditing we really do practice what we preach.

Turns out, we’d been renting server capacity by the minute for our testsuite - long after it stopped being the cheapest way to do so - so now we’ve bought our own and brought it in-house. Read more here: https://www.grizzlyware.com/blog/paying-by-the-minute-when-pay-per-use-costs-more-than-money

We've recently been working on a project that we think is a great example of AI being used effectively within a business.

Our client, a comparison business, found that their team was spending hours each week reading through quotes and compiling reports by hand. They wanted to use AI to make their business more efficient, but without compromising the human support and expertise they pride themselves on.

We built a system that uses AI to sift through reports, extracting and standardizing data before passing it to a piece of software we custom-built to compile reports. The process is faster, the team can concentrate on the job they were hired for, and customers still get the exact same care they value.

How we used AI to remove hours of manual data entry from a client’s process, without replacing the human expertise their customers rely on.

Why does a washing machine ask when the cycle should END, but the dishwasher asks when it should START? 🤔

Nobody knows. But it annoyed our founder Josh enough that he built a little app about it.

Did you know we do eCommerce too?

It's easy to assume custom software means internal systems - invoicing, workflows, dashboards, etc. But sometimes the best way to improve is to look at the place where you make sales.

Country Cow Designs, a family-run sewing business, came to us with a WordPress site that couldn't cope with their unique requirements - digital patterns and physical fabrics in the same order, a time-consuming process for cutting fabric for orders, and no reliable Royal Mail integration.

We built them a platform that allows them to easily manage the whole sales process - inventory, ordering and fulfilment - whilst creating an enjoyable and straightforward shopping experience for their customers.

"I get most of my enquiries through Facebook, do I even need a website?"

Websites and social media aren't rivals. Socials start a conversation and gain attention, then a website turns that interest into a sale. And with the rise of AI assisted search, not having a website can put you at a serious disadvantage.
