Black Signet

Software · Automation · AI



Black Signet is two partners who build software and automation for businesses. A signet is the ring you press into wax to mark work as yours. We treat what we deliver the same way.

Services

What we do


Software

Applications built around the way your business already works, for the cases where a product off the shelf doesn't fit and bending your process to match it would cost more than building.

  • Internal tools and dashboards
  • Web applications for your customers
  • Connections between the systems you already run

Automation

Repeated manual work, handed to software. We look at where the hours go and where the mistakes come in, then automate the steps that repay the effort.

  • Data entry and document handling
  • Reports that assemble themselves
  • Hand-offs between tools and teams

AI in your business

We work alongside your team, remotely, as the engineer on the inside. We learn how the work gets done, find the places where AI can take real hours off, and build and test it with you. We also tell you plainly where it will not help.

  • Sorting out which tasks are worth handing to a model
  • Setting up tools your people will use day to day
  • Checking the output and setting the limits

Consulting

A second technical opinion before you commit. We look at the options, tell you which one we would choose, and explain why in language you can take to your own people.

  • Whether to build or to buy
  • Reviews of an existing system or a vendor's proposal
  • Planning for a project you are about to start

Approach

How we work

  1. Understand

    We start with the problem and leave the technology for later. How does the work get done today, who does it, and what goes wrong?

  2. Scope

    We write down what we will build and, just as plainly, what we won't. Nothing starts until you have read it and agreed.

  3. Build

    We build in small pieces and show you each one working, so a wrong turn shows up early, while it is still cheap to correct.

  4. Hand over

    We deliver the finished work, document it, and walk your people through how it works. Then we sign it.

Tell us what isn't working.

A few lines will do. You don't need a specification, a budget or the right vocabulary; describe the problem the way you would to a colleague.

If you would rather write directly:
