A UK software house since 2000. We build AI software for the operation. We do not install someone else’s toolkit, and we do not sell a workflow diagram as the solution.
Etellect is a builder of AI solutions. You get real custom software, at a realistic price. A consultant sells knowledge transfer. A workflow tool is a different product, and it is not an enterprise-ready AI solution.
The builder
We write the custom software and we own the delivery. We are not an installer, and we are not an agent for someone else’s AI toolkit or software. The price is a realistic price for the system itself. Price on application.
Knowledge transfer
The traditional model puts a consultant between you and the software. You pay for the explanation. A software house or an agency still owns the delivery, and still owns the toolkit.
Not enterprise AI
Treating AI as the building of workflows is a misconception of what AI is. n8n is one example among similar workflow automation tools, and they chain steps in a diagram. Anyone selling or consulting on those tools is not providing an enterprise-ready AI solution.
One side writes the software. The other side explains a toolkit that somebody else still owns.

ETELLECT
|
All Agencies and Consultants |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Custom AI software, written for the operation | Knowledge transfer, plus someone else’s toolkit |
| Who delivers | Etellect owns the delivery, from the build through to support | A consultant in the middle. A software house or agency still owns the delivery |
| Whose software | Software we design and write. We do not install or resell someone else’s toolkit | A toolkit the consultant would only install, resell or advise on |
| What AI means | Enterprise software that runs the process | Often a workflow in n8n, one example among similar automation tools, and that is not an enterprise-ready AI solution |
| Price | A realistic price for the software. Price on application | A consultant’s fee, then another bill from the firm that owns the product |
| After the engagement | A system supported by the people who built it | A report, a diagram, and a dependency on someone else’s software |
Etellect Ltd was founded in 2000. We have spent more than 26 years turning technological potential into working commercial systems.
The firm grew up as a software house. We designed, built and took SaaS products to market, then kept them in production for organisations that cannot afford theatre: payments, banking data, address and identity, membership and other live operational environments. That is the pedigree behind the AI software we build now. When we talk about AI, we are speaking as people who have already shipped software that has to reconcile, audit, scale and stay up.
Those products still sit in the group: ePostcode, eSortcode, ePaymentServices, eMembership and eAutomate. They are why clients trust us with the next generation of work. We are ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified. We work as senior practitioners, not as a pyramid of junior analysts. And we are still a UK firm: close enough to sit with your team, your data and your regulator.
Anyone can theorise about AI. We have spent a quarter of a century building software. You hire the firm that writes the system, not a consultant hired to explain a toolkit someone else will deliver.
A software house. Operational systems designed, built and kept in production
Multiple SaaS platforms designed, built and launched to market
Machine learning and AI built into products and client software
Custom systems we write and deliver. Not a consultancy on someone else’s toolkit
Discovery maps where custom software belongs. Agentic AI is Etellect building and deploying it. Neither is a consulting retainer on someone else’s stack.
Where the software should live
A short engagement, price on application, that looks at the operation and leaves a plan for software Etellect can write. It is the map for a build. It is not a workshop about a platform we would only install.
Explore AI DiscoveryWe build and deploy it
Etellect deploys, hosts and manages eAutomate, our enterprise agent-first application, and builds custom AI inside that framework. The people who write the software stay on the delivery.
Explore Agentic AIWorkato is one example here, alongside similar orchestration tools. It is an AI orchestration platform with AI governance: it governs agents, models and MCP, then connects the process to other applications. eAutomate is that kind of orchestration and that governance. It is not the go-between. eAutomate also does the work.
Orchestrate, then hand it off
A layer that only connects still leaves the business on someone else’s software. The process is passed to Salesforce, monday.com, ServiceNow or Microsoft Dynamics. Each one is another licence, and another firm between you and the work.
Orchestration, governance, and the work
Agents, the API and MCP, and the model you choose run under one security model, with human-in-the-loop control. Finance, payments, trade and service run on eAutomate. The process is not handed to an expensive third-party tool.

UK software
Buy BritishAn Enterprise Agent First application, built and hosted in the UK, supported by UK developers, with the spend staying in the UK economy.
eAutomate is British software. Etellect Ltd is a UK company, registered in Scotland, and the developers who build and support the platform are here. The application is hosted in the UK. The contact record is described on the product as UK-hosted, ISO 27001-aligned and ready for UK GDPR, and it stays yours.
The ultimate holding company is registered in the UK and pays its taxes to HM Revenue & Customs.
A cloud stack of foreign products sends the licensing cost abroad: a seat on Salesforce, monday.com, ServiceNow or Microsoft Dynamics, a subscription to Xero or Sage, and another fee for every specialist tool between them. With eAutomate there are no licensing costs going to third-party foreign organisations. The software licence sits with a UK company.
Built and hosted in the UK. Development, hosting and support sit with Etellect, a company registered in Scotland.
Licensing costs do not go to a third-party foreign software company. The fee stays with Etellect and contributes to the UK economy.

Etellect builds custom AI software. The firm you hire is the firm that owns the delivery.
An AI consultant is paid to transfer knowledge and to stand between you and the software house or agency that still owns the product. A workflow in n8n, one example among similar automation tools, is not an enterprise-ready AI solution. eAutomate provides the orchestration and the governance, and it does the work. Salesforce, monday.com, ServiceNow and Microsoft Dynamics are not required.
Real custom software. A realistic price, on application. No installer, and no agent for someone else’s toolkit.
AI Discovery maps where the software belongs. Agentic AI is where we build and deploy it, including eAutomate and custom work inside that framework.
