AI

Practical AI for your business

AI isn't just for large companies. Used in the right places, it takes real work off a small team. We build it into software to solve everyday problems, and only where it clearly earns its keep. Here are some of the ways we're already using it for Irish businesses.

Reading invoices and documents

Supplier invoices and statements are read straight from your inbox. The supplier, lines, VAT and totals are pulled out and put in front of your office to approve.

Turning conversations into records

Record a meeting or speak your notes, and the key details are filled into the right form for you to confirm.

Reading photos

Take a photo of a delivery label or a business card and the record fills itself in.

Assistants that know your business

Website assistants that answer customer questions from your own content and capture enquiries around the clock.

Not every problem needs AI. Often ordinary software or simple automation is cheaper and more reliable, and we'll tell you when that's the case. Whatever the AI fills in is shown to a person to check before it's saved.

Why GBA Solutions

Business experience first, technology second

GBA Solutions was set up by Warren Harding after more than 20 years in telecoms, technology and retail businesses in Ireland and abroad, in roles that included managing director, chief operating officer and commercial director. So we look at your business the way an owner or operations manager would: what it costs, where the time goes, and what will actually make a difference. Then we build the technology to do it.

We understand how businesses run

Budgets, staff, customers, suppliers and the pressure of the month end. We start with what the problem is costing you.

We build what makes a difference

Practical systems that fix the problem in front of you, without technology for its own sake or features you won't use.

One person from start to finish

You deal with the person who designs and builds your system, so nothing gets lost between a sales call and the work.

Your software is yours

You own the code and the data. It's held in the EU with nightly backups, and we sign a GDPR data processing agreement when you need one.

How we look after your data
Our Work

Problems we’ve solved

How we work

Four steps, no surprises

Understand the problem

We start by learning how your business works today, where the time goes and what you're trying to improve.

Agree a practical solution

We agree what the first version needs to do, at a fixed price, without adding complexity you don't need.

Build it with you

You see working screens early and give feedback as it grows, so the finished system fits the way you work. A first version usually takes 4 to 8 weeks.

Support and improve

Once it's live we look after it and keep adding to it as your business changes, often over several years.

Tom O’Grady O’Grady Plumbing and Heating

The end result surpassed what we could have hoped for, not only meeting all our criterion but also incorporating suggestions from Warren and resulting in a clean, user friendly App. From the first phone call to handover, we found that Warren listened and delivered and is a genuine pleasure to deal with, handling our questions and demands, efficiently and calmly. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending GBA Solutions.

Harry Ryan Director, Bightheplumber

We worked with GBA Solutions to develop our online food safety e-learning platform. Warren was excellent to work with throughout the entire process. Everything was delivered within the agreed time frame, demonstrating his reliability and professionalism.

I highly recommend Warren and his services at GBA Solutions to anyone in need of top-notch development work.
