Consulting & engineering · founder-led

Built for the work that has to be right.

A boutique consulting and engineering studio. We go deepest where it is hardest: data, ML, and the systems that run on them. The same team also builds everything around it, from web and mobile to cloud and full products. Founders to enterprise. One team, first call to launch.

01 · What we do

Consult and build, deepest in data & AI.

We advise and build across web, mobile, cloud, data, and AI. The six lines below are where we go deepest, each built around an outcome.

01 · Foundation

Data engineering & data lakes

ERP, shop-floor, and IoT sources unified into one trusted, governed layer. Lineage built in from day one.

Learn more
02 · Forecasting

Demand forecasting & inventory

SKU-level forecasts and automated replenishment, wired into the planning systems where the outcome lands.

Learn more
03 · Operations

Shop-floor & operational intelligence

OEE attribution, root-cause analysis, and preventive-maintenance triggers, built on the shop-floor data you already collect. No new hardware.

Learn more
04 · Quality

Computer vision for quality

Defect classification at production speed, wrapping the cameras already on your line. No new hardware to install.

Learn more
05 · Decisions

MIS modernisation & decision boards

Dozens of manual reports replaced by role-specific boards and exception alerts. Leadership sees only what moved.

Learn more
06 · Strategy

Multi-geography & scenario analytics

Margin attribution, pricing and tariff scenarios, and concentration risk, built for the decisions a CFO or MD owns.

Why us

Big-tech engineers, end to end.

The biggest reason projects stall isn’t technology. It’s people who aren’t experienced enough to see the hard problems coming. We staff the opposite.

01

Big-tech bench, no juniors

No bait-and-switch staffing. The people on the first call are the ones who write the code.

02

Consult and build

Strategy and execution under one roof. Recommendations come with an architecture, a timeline, and a team ready to deliver them.

03

Full-stack range

Web, mobile, cloud, data, and AI in one team. Fewer vendors, fewer handoffs, fewer things to break.

04

Startup speed, enterprise rigour

We ship fast without cutting the corners that create tech debt, security holes, or 3 a.m. incidents down the road.

How we deliver

From ambition to production.

01 02 03 04
01 · Discover

We arrive with a point of view.

Hypothesis-driven, not workshop-driven. We arrive at the first call with a working view from your sector and our playbooks. Discovery sharpens it, instead of starting from blank.

Hypothesis-driven
02 · Define

One clear page before anything is built.

Scope, architecture, timeline, and one measurable outcome, agreed on a single page. No six-week kickoff, no surprises buried in a statement of work.

Scope & architecture
03 · Deliver

The founders write the code.

The people on the first call are the ones shipping the work, in tight iterations, with working software running in your stack, not a deck about it.

Founder-delivered
04 · Hand off

Built to run without us.

Documented, tested, and production-ready, governed and observable from day one, so it stays maintainable long after we leave.

Production-ready
02 · Who we help

If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk.

We’re a fit when one of these is true for you, and we’ll say so plainly when it isn’t.

Product

“We need to build a product.”

A validated idea that has to become a real product, fast, without hiring a full team first.

Stack

“Our stack is holding us back.”

Legacy systems that need to move to the cloud or modernise, without breaking what’s already running.

Data

“We’re drowning in data, starving for insight.”

It sits across ERPs, spreadsheets, and a dozen tools, and leadership still can’t get one trusted number. You need a real data foundation.

AI

“We need an AI plan that’s actually real.”

Every AI idea dies in a pilot. You need a partner who finds the one or two places it pays back, and builds them.

Reporting

“Our reporting and forecasting are manual.”

Analysts rebuild reports by hand and ordering lives in someone’s head. You need decision boards and forecasting wired into the systems that act on them.

Partner

“We need a senior engineering brain in the room.”

A trusted technical partner for strategy, diligence, or fractional leadership. Senior people, not a body shop.

03 · Selected work

Shipped to production, not slideware.

Engagements our principals scoped and shipped. Anonymised, and the patterns travel well beyond each starting industry.

Pharma · Data
Data engineeringCloud

From scattered ERP data to one governed lake, with forecasting on top.

No central repository, error-prone manual reporting. We built an ERP-to-cloud pipeline, a governed two-zone lakehouse, and a forecasting layer once the lake was live.

Outcome Source to dashboards in weeks, every layer in production and ready for AI.
Apparel · AI/ML
ForecastingReplenishment

Person-dependent ordering, replaced by forecasting wired into the system.

A complex SKU portfolio with manual daily replenishment. We built demand sensing with custom regressors and closed the loop into the existing planning system.

Outcome Accuracy lifted into the high-performing range, stockouts and excess inventory both down, manual ordering gone.
Manufacturing · Vision
Computer visionQuality

Defect classification at production speed, wrapping the cameras already on the line.

Existing hardware caught only the coarsest defects; deeper classification was manual and leaky. We layered image models onto the current cameras in software, no hardware to replace.

Outcome Automated classification at line speed, manual inspection all but gone, no spend on new equipment.
04 · Where we fit

The honest version of who to hire.

Most firms pitch only their strengths. Here's the comparison we'd write from your side of the table, including where someone else wins.

The alternative Where they shine Where we're the better call
Large system integratorsScale & outsourcing
Throughput at scale, multi-year managed services, full-stack IT outsourcing and vendor management.
When you want depth of thinking and direct accountability over headcount. Substance over slide volume.
Strategy consultanciesBoard-level framing
Transformation programmes, executive communication, and strategy for the boardroom.
When the answer has to be working software: code, pipelines, a live data layer, not a recommendation deck.
Large analytics / staffing firmsBig bench
Large dedicated teams running many parallel workstreams with mature global delivery.
When you want senior people personally accountable, with the engineering depth of those who scoped it also building it.
Freelancers & generalist agenciesFast & cheap
Low cost, quick starts, flexible hands for well-defined, lower-stakes tasks.
When the work is genuinely hard: production-grade, secure, and built to outlast the engagement.
OntegerBoutique studio
A small, senior team that consults and builds, end to end, from strategy through to production.
When two people you can reach on a first-name basis, accountable for the thinking and the build, is what the problem needs.

We're the right call when depth of thinking and direct accountability matter more than the size of the team or the logo on the contract. And we'll tell you plainly when someone else is the better fit.
