Our story

Built by operators. For operators.

Founded
2025

Edinburgh & Glasgow. Still obsessed with long-term value.

Locate AI started with one observation: most SMBs don’t need a moonshot. They need the spreadsheet replaced, the phones answered, and the busywork removed. So that’s what we built.

We founded Locate in 2025 after a decade of watching brilliant small businesses get crushed by their own admin. The pattern was everywhere: a 12-person firm with a 60-person operation, held together by spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and one heroic ops manager.

The tools to fix it existed. The patience to wire them together didn’t. So we built that patience into a business.

Today we run a tight pod model: one principal engineer, one automation architect, and the specialists we bring in for voice, data, and design. Two cities, twenty-something live systems, no agency-shaped overhead.

We measure ourselves on one thing: whether the system we shipped is still earning its keep six months later.

Our principles

How we build. Why it lasts.

Solve real work

We start with the workflow, not the tech. If it doesn’t save time, we don’t build it.

Design for trust

Secure by default. Built to protect your data and your reputation.

Automate with care

We automate the repeatable, so your team can focus on the meaningful.

Stay for the long run

We don’t chase quick wins. We build systems that compound over time.
