About
Commercial discovery, operational thinking.
Early Rivers AI is a UK consultancy that automates repetitive operational work for letting agents and freight forwarders in the UK and Ireland. We design and build workflows around the systems a team already uses, and a person approves what matters.
Why we started
We started Early Rivers to bring commercial discovery and operational problem-solving together.
Our approach is simple. Map one process, agree what success looks like, build it around the client’s systems and measure what happens after launch.
The founders
Two people. Both in the room.
Amardeep Notay
Co-founder / Discovery and commercial
Amardeep leads discovery, demos and commercial conversations. He is usually the first person you will speak to.
Background. More than five years selling AI solutions to small and medium-sized businesses, mid-market customers and enterprises.
Zak Kasu
Co-founder / Process and measurement
Zak leads process mapping, solution design and measurement. He works out how the job is done today and how to tell whether the new version is better.
Background. More than six years in product and business analytics, including work with large organisations such as SEFE, BAM and Shell.
How we think.
- Start with one process, not a transformation.
- Build around the systems you already use.
- People decide the exceptions.
- Measure what happens after launch.
- Say what it costs before you commit.
Who we work with
Businesses that run on email, documents and a small operations team.
We work with firms in the UK and Ireland where requests arrive by email, details are typed into a system by hand and a handful of people keep everything moving. Our focus is two industries.
Letting and property management
Agencies managing a few hundred to a few thousand properties, where maintenance and compliance fill the inbox.
Freight forwarding and customs
Independent forwarders where quote requests and shipping documents are re-keyed into the TMS every day.
