Operational Alpha. Delivered.
AI specialists helping industrial businesses in the North West of England and Wales automate their workflows and capture operational alpha. Fixed price. Fixed scope. Deployed in weeks, not months.
Who We Are
Northwest Consulting was founded by ex-Big Four and MBB partners to disrupt the digital and AI strategy space in the North West of England and Wales. We bring the analytical rigour of McKinsey and the technical depth of a specialist AI firm — without the 18-month engagement and the seven-figure price tag.
We build AI infrastructure for industrial businesses. Our platforms connect your existing systems, surface intelligence from your data, and automate the workflows your team is doing manually today — all deployed in weeks, not months.
"The expertise, agility and early results from Northwest Consulting are genuinely game changing."
— Senior Operating MD, Major PE Fund
"Far above my expectations."
— CDIO, PE-backed Global Industrial Distribution Group (80+ affiliates)
What We Do
Connect your existing systems — SAP, ERPs, email, documents — without replacing them. Fragmented data becomes unified intelligence. Manual processes become automated workflows.
Identify who is about to churn before they leave, who is ready to buy more, and where revenue is being left on the table. Custom ML models trained on your actual order book.
Our OEX platform delivers working intelligence on your live data in weeks. Revenue protection, knowledge capture, workflow automation — deployed at portco level.
Bring fragmented data together across ERPs, spreadsheets, emails, and undocumented workarounds. Clean master data, resolve divergences, and build a single source of truth.
From AI disruption screening and commercial due diligence to 100-day execution plans and portfolio monitoring. Strategy that is deployed, not proposed.
Weekly sales priorities, automated meeting prep, drafted outreach, and call scripts — all generated from your actual data. Enable your team to act on intelligence, not instinct.
