AI-infused products and insights

We integrate AI into the enterprise to make intelligence part of your systems and products. 

At Estafet, we help enterprises turn AI into a working part of their systems, not just an idea. Every project combines our engineering depth, domain knowledge and cloud-native architecture to embed intelligence directly into applications, workflows and digital products. 

We specialise in AI integration, cloud-native engineering and system modernisation. Our teams know how to connect AI to the tools you already use, improving performance, reducing costs and delivering real-time insight where it matters. By integrating AI into enterprise platforms, we make search, analytics and decision-making faster and more intuitive.

 Our AI Proof-of-Concept (POC) programme shows where AI creates measurable business impact and where it doesn’t, helping you invest wisely. With near-shore delivery and a six-week production model, we move from concept to outcome quickly. 

We build hybrid enterprises where AI and automation drive agility, competitiveness and innovation, enabling your teams to deliver enhanced products and services in half the time.

Expertise

Testing

Quality Engineers typically work within development teams so test automation is part of the Sprint cycle. We seek and propose continuous improvements to how products are defined, built, tested and deployed.

Development

We specialise in core languages (e.g. Java, Scala and Python), but understand that frameworks and technologies evolve. We’re flexible and quick to adapt.

Automation

DevOps is all about repeatability and automation, from building and testing containers, to releasing pipelines, setting up and maintaining environments, and proactively monitoring applications once live.

Infrastructure

We define infrastructure-as-code using, for example, Terraform and Ansible (plus all the scripting, source control, release and monitoring tools) to get environments built quickly and reliably.

Data

We cover the full spectrum of data services - from data ingestion, through ETL, to reporting and visual presentation; we specialise in building cloud-based solutions that collect, manage, and convert raw data into usable information for data scientists and business analysts to consume.

What our clients say about us:

Estafet showed great flexibility with their processes and were agile enough to accommodate what we felt would be right for us. The quality of technical knowledge and skills, the attitude, and the passion of the Estafet team prove that we made the right choice

Amy Chalfen · former Chief Operating Officer

Client Onboarding at WorldPay was taking sixty days, it was extremely complex, largely manual, very time-consuming, and we found that some clients cancelled before being onboarded. Estafet’s work provided both business and financial benefit by lowering costs, increasing productivity, improving earlier adoption of revenue streams and increasing the likelihood of greater new client retention.

Craig Smiley · Chief Product Officer at Worldpay.

Above all, however, we have enjoyed working with your team to deliver the end-to-end solutions which bring success to our customers.

Paul Warminger · Director CSPN at Arqiva.

The Estafet team were able to stitch together complex technologies to deliver video streaming from Smart Cams through cloud services and into mobile devices. I’m very impressed that you made it all work, and thank you for your hard work over many weeks to achieve this result.

Nigel Pugh · former Product Director at AlertMe

Estafet have helped us take a complex situation of multiple vendors and contract engines and develop a Common Front End to bring all the disparate pieces together. Working with Estafet provided the independence and clarity we needed to change the approach and deliver a successful project.
