ESMA
Network
An FMCG network trading since 1976, with no way to prove its own worth. We built ESMA one custom platform, public site, member dashboard and native app, where every company and connection is finally searchable.
Practical AI and automation built into the products and processes you already run. Useful, measured and accountable, not a demo that never ships.
The problem
It’s easy to get a flashy proof-of-concept and hard to get something dependable in production. Without evaluation, guardrails and a human in the loop, AI either never ships, or ships in a way you can’t stand behind.
What we build
Where AI and automation earn their place, with guardrails, evaluation and people in the loop.
How we work
We are based at The Digital Hub in Dublin 8 and work with companies in Cork, Galway, Limerick and across Ireland. Most projects run remotely, with a handful of sessions in person.
01
We find where the work pays back: scoped, costed and honest about trade-offs.
02
The system and the experience, around how your business really works. You see it before it’s built.
03
Engineered and shipped by the same senior people. Working software in production, and you own it.

FAQs
What people ask us before a project like this starts.
Your data stays yours. We choose approaches and providers that don’t train on it.
We evaluate before we ship and set guardrails, so you get honest numbers instead of a demo.
Anywhere the cost of a mistake is high, with explicit review steps.
Often no. Many wins come from automation and off-the-shelf models applied well.
We build so providers can be swapped; no single point of dependency.
We size and cap usage up front so running costs are predictable.
Funding
The Local Enterprise Office Grow Digital Voucher pays 50% of eligible digital adoption costs, up to €5,000: off-the-shelf software subscriptions, their configuration and training. It does not cover bespoke website development or custom software, and you need a completed Digital for Business project first. We scope which parts of your project qualify before you spend a euro.
