Make your data useful and stop doing the work by hand.

UrkAI is a data and software studio in Quito, Ecuador. We pull together the information spread across your spreadsheets, ERP and machines, and turn it into reports that update themselves. If you need an app, we build that too.

4+ years building data and software systems, including enterprise software used by major airlines
Fully remote, with working hours that overlap the US (UTC-5)
You deal with the same engineer who writes the code, from the first call to handover.

Sound familiar?

This is what we usually hear from owners and managers before we start.

We have a lot of data, but no clear picture.

Sales, stock and operations live in different systems, and every department has its own version of the numbers.
Someone spends days every month building reports.

Copying between spreadsheets, fixing formulas, sending files by email. By the time you read it, it's old.
We find out about problems too late.

Stock runs out or a machine stops, and you hear about it at the end of the day.
I have an idea for an app, but no one to build it.

You know exactly what it should do. You just don't have developers.
Our systems don't talk to each other.

The same information gets typed into two or three places, with mistakes every time.
I can't get a quick answer.

You want to know today's sales, and you have to wait for someone to pull a report.

Work we've shipped

Delivered by our founding engineer, in house and freelance, before and alongside UrkAI.

From spreadsheets and paper to one platform

Manufacturing and distribution company in Ecuador

Warehouse reception went from chaos to scheduled, and production got real-time data instead of end-of-shift totals.

Before

Information was spread across Excel files, the ERP (SAP Business One) and an internal database. Reports were made by hand, machine output was written on paper at the end of each shift, and warehouse deliveries arrived with no schedule.

What we built

One web platform where each department logs in and sees what it needs. It has four parts:

A portal where suppliers check their purchase orders and what they still owe, and book a delivery slot at a specific warehouse. The confirmation arrives by email.
Live machine monitoring. Each machine sends data every second, day and night, and managers see what it's producing and how long it's been stopped, with an alert when one stops.
Dashboards for sales, stock and critical items that update themselves.
A WhatsApp bot that managers ask for today's sales, what's running out or which orders are due. The answer comes straight from the database.

Built with Python, Flask, Google Cloud Run, Siemens PLC, Node-RED, Firebase and Power BI.

Hourly reporting for 5 airlines

US software company serving major airlines

6x faster on the longest-running jobs.

Before: Raw booking and pricing data had to become clean reports for 5 airlines, each with its own currency and business rules. The longest jobs were too slow.
What we built: An automated data pipeline that runs every hour, keeps each airline's data separate, and delivers ready-to-use tables straight into each customer's Power BI.

Built with Databricks, PySpark, Delta Sharing and Power BI.

From manual releases to automatic ones

The same airline software company

Adopted by the whole data team.

Before: Every release meant copying code into production by hand and creating tables manually.
What we built: Automated release pipelines and a shared code library, proposed and built from scratch.

Built with Azure DevOps pipelines and Python.

App for delivery operations

Freelance

An Android app for logistics and quality control in delivery operations, used by teams on the road instead of paper forms.

What we do for you

You don't need to know which of these you need. Tell us the problem and we'll figure it out together. Most of these examples we've already built for someone.

Make your data useful

You already have the data, in your ERP, spreadsheets, apps and machines. We bring it together and clean it up so the whole company works from the same numbers.

A dashboard on your phone with sales, stock and critical items, updated on its own
A morning report in your inbox with the numbers you check every day
An email when stock is running low or a machine has stopped
A WhatsApp bot: ask “how much did we sell today?” and get the answer

Turn your idea into an app

You know the process or product you want. We build it as a working web or mobile app, in small steps you can try along the way.

An app to replace the shared Excel file, with logins and each department seeing only what it needs
A portal where suppliers or customers check orders and book deliveries themselves
A phone app for field teams to record deliveries and quality checks instead of using paper

Connect your systems

When your tools don't talk to each other, people end up copying data by hand. We connect them so information moves on its own.

Your ERP, databases and apps kept in sync
Live screens on the production floor showing what every machine is doing
Automatic emails and WhatsApp messages
New features added to the software you already use

Move off paper and Excel

For companies that still run on Excel, paper and email. We look at how the work really gets done, then replace the manual steps with simple digital tools.

We start with the process that costs you the most time
One piece at a time, so the business keeps running
Documented handover, so your people can run it without us

Already have a tech team? We also join as extra hands on data pipelines (Databricks, Spark, Power BI) and on existing Java or Python systems.

How we work

Projects don't disappear for months. Every week we show you something that already works.

Free 30 min call

Tell us what's slow, what's done by hand or what's missing. If we can't help, we'll say so on that call.
Short written proposal

We send you what we'll build and what it costs before any work starts.
Progress every week

Every week you can see and try a piece that already works. If something isn't what you pictured, we change it then.
Handover

Documentation included, so your people can use and run it without us.

Work with us on a fixed-price project, a monthly retainer, or by the hour for small tasks.
