What we do

AI readiness assessment

A structured review of your processes, data, systems and team to measure how prepared you are to use AI.

Opportunity mapping

A ranked list of AI use cases with estimated value, cost, risk and time to implement.

Roadmap and business case

A phased plan with quick wins first, budget ranges and the metrics that will show progress.

Tool and vendor selection

Independent guidance on platforms and vendors, so you buy what you need and nothing more.

Every company is being told it needs an AI strategy. Few are told what that means in practice. Shiptronix approaches AI the way an operator would: start with the business, find the processes that cost the most time and money, and decide where AI belongs based on return, risk and effort.

Our readiness assessment gives you a clear picture of your data, systems, people and processes, and a prioritized roadmap you can act on with or without us.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an assessment take?

Most assessments take two to four weeks, depending on the size of the business and how many teams are involved.

Do you only recommend your own services?

No. The roadmap is independent. Many recommendations can be carried out by your team or other providers.

We already use some AI tools. Is this still useful?

Yes. We review what is in place, what is working, and where effort should shift.

What do we receive at the end?

A written assessment, a prioritized roadmap with business cases, and a working session to walk your team through it.

What does an AI strategy consultant do?

An AI strategy consultant helps a business decide where AI will create value, what it will cost, and in what order to do it. That includes reviewing processes and data, ranking use cases by return and risk, and building a roadmap and governance plan.

What is an AI readiness assessment?

It is a structured review of how prepared your business is to use AI. We look at your data, systems, people, processes and governance, then show where you are ready to move now and what needs work first.

What are the main pillars of AI readiness?

We assess data quality and access, technology and systems, people and skills, processes, and governance. Weakness in any one of them is usually what stalls AI projects.

How much does AI strategy consulting cost?

Cost depends on the size of the business and the scope. We provide a fixed proposal after an initial conversation, so you know the cost before work starts.
