We call it a Squad: engineers, designers and product specialists who work only for you. They connect your systems and equipment, build the software your people use every day, and you own everything they build.
For manufacturers and regulated businesses · UK & EU
We work inside your business, alongside your people.
We learn the whole operation before we build.
AI runs through how we design, build and test, so you get results faster. Our people stay accountable.
If your business is struggling with any of the operational problems we described, then our specialized team 'Squad' was built specifically to solve them for you.
Readings from equipment end up on paper or in spreadsheets, then get typed in again somewhere else.
It was built for a generic business, so your team works around it instead of with it.
Inspections, certificates and safety checks live in paper files and inboxes, and the deadlines to prove compliance keep getting closer.
Engineers, a designer and a technical lead take months to recruit, and you'd still need someone to run them.
That's a Fablane Squad: engineers, designers and product specialists who work only for you, as part of your team. They learn your operation, act as your technical lead, connect your systems and equipment, and build the software your people use every day.
Not a vendor selling you a package. Not an agency splitting its time across clients. Your team, and you own everything it builds.
Your Squad works only for you. It learns your business and your operation, and acts as your technical lead.
Your Squad builds the systems and software your people use, connected to the equipment you already run.
No recruiting, no tech department to build. Your Squad starts within a week, and moves faster because AI runs through how we design, build and test.
The code, data, designs and IP are yours. No lock-in.
A long-term partnership and software that grows with your operation, starting with a low-risk first phase.
From the machine to the screen: one team for the whole system.
Your Squad links the tools and records your teams already use, so information moves between them without being typed in twice.
From legacy machines to inspection devices, your Squad connects the equipment on your floor or on site to the apps, data and screens your people use.
Practical tools shaped to how you work, from worker-facing screens to the numbers managers need to make decisions.

Concept by Fablane
For firms that advise employers: every client's payroll, checked against the latest rules before payday.
A concept built by Fablane. The firm, clients and figures are example data, not a real client.

See how a Squad solves one real problem.
It starts small, and you can stop after any step.
You can stop after any step.
A scoped first release, so you see real results before committing further.
We use AI to investigate options, explore designs, prototype and test, so a small Squad moves faster. People still build, run and answer for your product.
We walk your floor and map the whole operation: people, equipment, systems and data.
We shape the solution with your team and prove it with a working first version before building further.
We ship working software in short cycles and connect it to your equipment and systems.
We measure, refine and extend it as your operation changes. Ongoing.
You work with named people, not an account manager.
