Evolved360 AI

AI can transform your business through: process automation (eliminating repetitive tasks), intelligent customer service (chatbots, automated responses), predictive analytics (sales forecasting, demand planning), document processing (invoice extraction, contract analysis), personalization (marketing, recommendations), quality control (visual inspection, defect detection), and decision support (data analysis, insights generation). For Canadian businesses, we focus on practical AI applications with clear ROI—not experimental projects. Most clients see 20-40% efficiency gains in automated processes within 3-6 months.

Evolved360 AI provides: AI strategy and roadmap development, custom AI solution development, chatbot and virtual assistant implementation, machine learning model development, AI integration with existing systems (CRM, ERP, websites), process automation using AI, document intelligence and OCR, predictive analytics and forecasting, AI training and change management, and ongoing AI optimization. We work with Microsoft Azure AI, OpenAI APIs, Google Cloud AI, and open-source frameworks. Our focus is on production-ready AI that delivers business value, not science projects.

AI implementation costs vary by project scope and complexity. AI chatbot implementation starts at $10,000-$25,000 CAD for basic customer service bots. Custom AI solutions (document processing, predictive models, automation) range from $25,000-$100,000+ depending on data complexity, integration requirements, and training needed. AI strategy consulting starts at $5,000 for assessment and roadmap. Many AI solutions also include ongoing costs for API usage ($200-$2,000/month) and model maintenance. We provide ROI analysis showing projected savings before starting any AI project.

Not always. The data requirements depend on the AI application. Pre-trained models (like GPT for chatbots or Azure AI for document processing) work with minimal company-specific data. Custom machine learning models for prediction or classification typically need hundreds to thousands of examples to train effectively. Document processing and automation can work with just a few templates. We assess your data during discovery and recommend approaches that work with what you have—whether that's using pre-trained models, synthetic data, or starting small and expanding as data grows.

Yes, when implemented properly. We ensure AI solutions comply with PIPEDA and industry-specific regulations like PHIPA for healthcare. Our AI security approach includes: data encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and authentication, audit logging, data residency in Canadian regions (when required), privacy impact assessments, consent management for personal data, and secure API configurations. For sensitive applications, we use private AI models hosted in your Azure or AWS environment rather than public APIs. All AI implementations include compliance documentation.

Absolutely. AI integration with existing systems is a core part of our Evolved360 approach. Common integrations include: AI-powered chatbots pulling customer data from CRM (Zoho, Salesforce), AI document processing automatically creating ERP invoices or orders, AI sales forecasting using CRM pipeline data, AI-powered email responses integrated with helpdesk systems, and AI quality inspection feeding data to ERP quality modules. Our team coordinates across divisions (AI, CRM, ERP, IT) to ensure seamless integration and data flow.

ROI timelines vary by AI application type. Process automation projects (document processing, data entry) typically show ROI in 3-6 months through direct labor savings. Customer service chatbots achieve ROI in 6-12 months through reduced support costs and improved capacity. Predictive analytics and forecasting show ROI in 6-18 months through better decision-making and reduced waste. Complex custom AI models may take 12-24 months for full ROI. We focus on quick wins first—implementing high-impact, fast-ROI AI solutions before tackling longer-term strategic projects.

AI augments employees rather than replacing them. AI handles repetitive, time-consuming tasks so your team can focus on high-value work requiring judgment, creativity, and human interaction. For example: AI processes routine invoices, accountants handle exceptions and analysis; AI answers common customer questions, support staff handles complex issues; AI analyzes data and highlights patterns, managers make strategic decisions. We've seen employees become more productive and satisfied when AI eliminates tedious work. Our implementations include training to help your team work effectively alongside AI.

Our AI implementation methodology ensures production reliability through: proof of concept (validate approach with small dataset), pilot phase (test with limited users, real workflows), accuracy benchmarking (measure and document performance), human oversight (humans review AI outputs initially), gradual rollout (increase automation as confidence grows), monitoring and alerting (track accuracy, errors, usage), continuous improvement (retrain models, adjust based on feedback), and fallback procedures (handle edge cases gracefully). We don't hand over experimental AI—we deliver production-ready solutions with documented accuracy and maintenance plans.

Yes, AI strategy development is where we start with most clients. Our AI strategy engagement includes: current process assessment identifying AI opportunities, AI use case prioritization based on ROI and feasibility, data readiness assessment, technology architecture recommendations, implementation roadmap with phases, budget and resource planning, risk assessment and mitigation, and change management planning. The strategy deliverable is a 12-24 month AI roadmap with specific projects, timelines, costs, and expected benefits. Strategy engagements start at $5,000 CAD and typically take 2-4 weeks.
