AI and automation consultant for the South West
Practical AI and automation for South West businesses that want answers, not another tool.
FiveW works with small and medium-sized businesses in Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Somerset and across the South West. We are based just across the Severn at the Wesley Clover Innovation Centre in Newport, and our phone number is a Bristol one. We help owners find where the business is losing sales, time or money, and whether AI, automation, better software or a simpler process is the best way to fix it.
Tell us what is happeningDoes this sound familiar?
The warning signs are usually ordinary.
- The team spends hours on admin that should take minutes
- Leads arrive through several channels and some are missed
- Your software does not talk to each other
- You want practical advice rather than an AI strategy deck
A practical way forward
Start with the business problem. Then decide what technology deserves a place.
Compare every option
We weigh AI against ordinary automation, integrations, existing software and simpler process changes.
Close enough to visit
Most work is done remotely. Bristol, Bath and Gloucestershire are within easy reach of our base in Newport when meeting in person would genuinely help.
If a simpler change or software you already pay for will solve the problem, that is what we will recommend.
What worthwhile change could look like
Useful results, not an interesting demonstration.
The changes worth making first
Clear costs, effort and risks
Fewer repetitive tasks for your team
Recommendations you own and can use with any supplier
