Problems we solve

Pick the problem closest to yours.

Each one has a small, fixed-scope piece of work you can judge us on before you commit to anything larger.

“We don’t know our real security and compliance gaps”

We look at how your business actually runs, across offices, plants and suppliers, and list the risks that matter, in order. You get a plain view of what to fix first, what can wait and what each fix will take. Where technical testing is needed, we bring in qualified specialist testers and manage the work.

Where we would start

Security & Governance Review

1–2 weeks, fixed scope

You get: A risk register, your top gaps, a prioritised fix plan and a leadership briefing.

“Too much of our work is still manual”

We start with one workflow and the data behind it, not with a tool. We find where people re-key, chase and check by hand, and judge which step is worth automating first. Anything that acts on its own stops for a person’s approval.

Where we would start

AI & Automation Opportunity Review

1–2 weeks, fixed scope

You get: A workflow list, a feasibility view, one recommended pilot and how return on investment will be measured.

“An ageing application is holding us back”

We read the code, the architecture and the way the application is run today. You learn what is sound, what is fragile and what it would take to make it maintainable again. Then you can decide whether to clean up, modernise in stages or rebuild.

Where we would start

Application Health Check

1–2 weeks, fixed scope

You get: Architecture, code, security and maintainability findings, and a fix backlog.

“Our infrastructure is unreliable or due for a move”

We take stock of what you run, where it runs and what keeps failing. You get a clear view of the gaps and an order of work, whether that means a move to the cloud or fixing what you have. The aim is a foundation your own team can run.

Where we would start

Cloud & Infrastructure Readiness Review

1 week, fixed scope

You get: Your current state, the gaps, and migration or modernisation priorities.

“We have a product idea that needs scoping”

We turn the idea into something that can be built and estimated. We work through who will use it, what they need to do and what the first version must include. You leave with a plan you can take to any team, including ours.

Where we would start

Product Discovery Sprint

2–3 weeks, fixed scope

You get: Scope, user journeys, the boundaries of a first version, a phased plan and an estimate.

Industries

Built for manufacturing, open to mid-market.

Before Pinaque, our founders worked in electronics manufacturing, tyres and automotive, metals and aluminium, and optical fibre. So we know that a plant cannot stop for an IT change, that machines outlive their software, and that the shop floor and the office run on different clocks.

The same way of working suits mid-market companies in other sectors: start small, fix the real problem, and hand over something your own team can run.

How we work

Six steps, the same every time.

  1. Understand

    We listen to the people who run the work, and read what already exists.

  2. Assess

    We look at systems, data and risks as they are, not as the documents say.

  3. Design

    We agree what to change, in what order, and what it will take.

  4. Deliver

    Senior people do the work, in small steps you can see.

  5. Validate

    We check that what was built does what was agreed.

  6. Hand over

    Your team gets the documents, the access and the know-how to run it.
