AI consulting in Singapore
The operational lever AI can pull in your business. Found, costed, shipped.
Built by a Principal Engineer who found £265k/month at a UK pharmacy and shipped it in eight weeks. Now embedding in Singapore SMEs to find the same kind of lever.
The founding case
£265,000 saved every month at LloydsDirect. Brief to production in eight weeks.
LloydsDirect is the UK’s largest digital-first NHS pharmacy. Embedded with their warehouse team, Jack spotted a cost-reduction lever the business had de-prioritised. Built the case. Shipped a working system in eight weeks. Deployed to 120 daily warehouse users with hands-on training and zero workflow disruption.
The savings were still compounding the day he left. That is the engagement shape Heylo is built around.
How it works
Embed
We spend a week inside your operation. Shadow the team, read the data, watch the workflow. Most consultants skip this. It's the only way to find the real lever instead of the obvious one.
Find the lever
We surface the operational pattern AI can genuinely move, with the cost or revenue number attached. You get a written case before any code is shipped. If the numbers don't add up, we say so.
Ship in 4–8 weeks
We build the working system, integrate it with your stack, and hand-train the people who use it. Production from day one. No slide deck phase, no proof-of-concept that never goes live.
Who it’s for
Operators with a real business and a hunch that AI is leaving money on the table.
Operations leaders
You know there's slack in a workflow. You don't have the engineering bandwidth to prove it.
Founders of operational SMBs
F&B, logistics, healthcare, retail, services. AI is the line item your board wants explained, not a side project.
Heads of product
You want an AI feature shipped, not a six-month research engagement that produces a PDF.

Common questions
What is operational AI consulting?+
Operational AI consulting is short, embedded work that finds the highest-leverage workflow inside a business where AI creates measurable financial impact, builds the business case, and ships a working production system in 4 to 8 weeks. It is not a slide deck, a proof of concept, or a six-month research engagement.
How does this differ from a typical AI agency engagement?+
Most AI agencies sell scoped projects. We start by being inside your operation for a week, with no pre-defined deliverable. That is the only way to find the real lever instead of the one that sounded good on a call. You get a written business case before any build phase begins.
Who is We Are Heylo?+
We Are Heylo is a Singapore-based AI consulting and product engineering studio with UK delivery experience. Engagements are led by Jack Evans, a Principal Software Engineer with over a decade of production experience in regulated healthtech, pharmacy, retail and ecommerce. The headline case is a 265,000 pounds per month cost-reduction system shipped at LloydsDirect in eight weeks.
How much does an operational AI engagement cost?+
Engagements are phased with a fixed price per phase. Phase 0 (the embedded discovery and written case) typically runs around 1 to 2 weeks. Phase 1 (the production build) typically runs 3 to 6 weeks. All pricing is in GBP, fixed per phase, with a clear exit point after each phase.
Do you work with companies outside Singapore?+
Yes. We're based in Singapore with UK delivery experience, and work with operational businesses across Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom and remotely.
