Problems we are working on.
These are the ventures and engagements Global Medium is actively building across AI, Commerce and Infrastructure. We share what we are working on and why, not just what we have shipped.
5eyeai: intelligence infrastructure for complex decision environments
CHALLENGE
Organisations operating across multiple information streams have no unified way to surface relevant signals, correlate events or support decisions at speed. Analysts are overwhelmed and insight is buried in noise.
SOLUTION
5eyeai is an applied AI platform in development to aggregate, classify and surface intelligence across structured and unstructured data sources. The system is being designed for environments where speed and accuracy of decision support are operationally critical.
OUTCOME
In active development in the UK. Early architecture is being validated against real operational data sets. The platform is being built for deployment across defence adjacent, security and complex commercial environments.

Automated document intelligence for a financial services firm
CHALLENGE
A boutique financial services firm is processing hundreds of client documents manually each month. Contracts, statements and compliance forms move slowly, errors accumulate and the process is a bottleneck to growth.
SOLUTION
We are building a document intelligence pipeline to classify, extract and validate key fields across document types. Human review will be reserved for edge cases and exceptions rather than routine processing.
OUTCOME
In active development. The pipeline is being designed to reduce processing time significantly and bring field extraction error rates below 1.5%, freeing the operations team for higher value client work.
Target
70% faster document processing
<1.5%

Dico: a new eCommerce platform built for the UK market
CHALLENGE
Existing eCommerce platforms were built for scale at the expense of simplicity. Independent retailers and emerging brands need a platform that is fast to launch, easy to operate and designed around the realities of the UK market rather than retrofitted from US infrastructure.
SOLUTION
Dico is an eCommerce platform in development in the UK. It is being built from the ground up with a focus on merchant experience, localised commerce infrastructure and the flexibility that growing brands actually need.
OUTCOME
In active development. The platform is being designed to serve independent retailers and direct to consumer brands who need a serious commerce foundation without the overhead of enterprise tooling.

B2B marketplace for a specialist trade sector
CHALLENGE
A fragmented trade sector has buyers and suppliers operating through phone calls, PDFs and informal networks with no digital infrastructure. Price discovery is opaque and transaction costs are high.
SOLUTION
We are designing and building a B2B marketplace with verified supplier profiles, structured RFQ workflows and integrated payment rails. The platform is being built to reduce the friction of a transaction from days to hours.
OUTCOME
In active development. The marketplace is being built to onboard verified suppliers, compress transaction cycle times and create a transparent, efficient trading environment for the sector.

Cloud migration and cost optimisation for a SaaS business
CHALLENGE
A growing SaaS company has accumulated significant technical debt in their cloud infrastructure. Over provisioned resources, no auto scaling and a monthly cloud bill growing faster than revenue.
SOLUTION
We are auditing their full infrastructure footprint, redesigning their deployment architecture around containerised workloads and implementing auto scaling policies tied to actual usage patterns.
OUTCOME
In active engagement. The redesigned architecture is targeting a 40 to 50% reduction in monthly cloud spend with no degradation in performance or reliability, and a move to daily deployment cycles.

Data platform for a multi site retail group
CHALLENGE
A retail group operating across multiple sites has no unified view of their business. Sales, inventory, staffing and customer data live in separate systems with no integration and decisions are made on instinct rather than evidence.
SOLUTION
We are designing and building a centralised data platform to ingest, normalise and surface data from all operational systems. A management dashboard will give leadership a real time view of performance across every site.
OUTCOME
In active development. The platform is being built to compress leadership reporting time, reduce inventory write offs through data driven purchasing and become the operational backbone of the business.
