AI Enablement for SMEsservices

Practical AI Adoption. No Jargon. No Wasted Investment.

Start Your AI Journey

Most UK businesses know they should be doing something with AI. Far fewer know where to start, what to prioritise, or how to avoid wasting money on tools that do not fit their operations. Our AI Enablement service gives small and medium-sized businesses a clear, practical path from curiosity to implementation, with expert guidance at every step.

The Reality for Most Businesses

Research shows that the vast majority of UK businesses are looking to AI to solve key business problems, with average spending on AI and emerging technologies running into six figures. Yet only a small fraction of organisations report having adequate AI knowledge internally. The result is a growing gap between ambition and execution.

Many SMEs are caught in one of two traps: either they have done nothing because the landscape feels overwhelming, or they have invested in AI tools without a clear strategy and seen limited returns. Neither position is sustainable in a market where competitors are pulling ahead.

What We Offer

How It Works

Week 1-2

Discovery

We spend time with your team to understand your business, operations, pain points, and ambitions. We review your technology stack, data sources, and existing processes.

Week 3-4

Analysis and Prioritisation

We map AI opportunities against your business objectives, scoring each for impact and feasibility. We present findings with clear recommendations and honest assessments.

Week 5-8

Roadmap and Quick Wins

We deliver your 90-day adoption roadmap and begin implementing the highest-priority quick wins. You start seeing results while the broader strategy takes shape.

Week 9-12

Implementation Support

We guide your team through the first phase of adoption, providing hands-on support, troubleshooting, and adjustment as real-world usage reveals what works best.

Ongoing

Fractional AI Advisory

For businesses wanting continued expert guidance without hiring full-time, we offer ongoing advisory on a retained basis. Think of it as a fractional Chief AI Officer.

Who This Is For

Growing SMEs

Businesses with 10 to 250 employees that know AI is important but lack the internal expertise to develop and execute a strategy.

Leadership Teams

Teams being asked by boards, investors, or clients about their AI strategy and needing credible answers backed by a practical plan.

Operations-Heavy Businesses

Sectors like logistics, agriculture, healthcare, and construction where process automation and data-driven decisions deliver significant efficiency gains.

Existing AI Users

Companies already using some AI tools that want to move from ad-hoc adoption to a coherent, organisation-wide approach.

What You Get

Every engagement delivers tangible outputs, not just advice:

  • A written AI readiness assessment with sector benchmarking
  • A prioritised list of AI opportunities with estimated ROI
  • A 90-day implementation roadmap with specific actions, owners, and milestones
  • At least one implemented quick win demonstrating real business value

Why Appoly?

We are not an AI consultancy that delivers a report and walks away. We are a development agency that builds AI-powered systems every day. When we recommend an approach, it is because we have implemented it, debugged it, and seen it work in production. Our advice is grounded in practical experience across healthcare, agriculture, logistics, financial services, and more. And when you are ready to build, we are the same team that delivers.
