Why build computer vision development with us?

Built for real conditions

We test on footage from your own cameras, in the low-light, crowded and messy conditions that break generic tools, before promising any accuracy.

Conditions first, model second

We design for darkness, dust, glare and blocked views from the start.

Edge or cloud, by reason

We run models where it makes sense for cost, speed, bandwidth and privacy.

Realistic accuracy, up front

We tell you what's achievable with your setup before you invest.

How we engage

Four ways this usually starts

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.

Most teams start here

You have cameras and a question

  • One detection or counting task on your existing footage
  • Accuracy measured on footage the model hasn't seen
  • Clear view of what's achievable before any hardware spend

Best for: Teams with cameras already in place

You need to measure without handling

  • Estimating size, weight or volume from images
  • Calibrated to your objects and camera positions
  • Trends and alerts on a live dashboard

Best for: Agriculture, food and manufacturing

Quality checks need to cover every item

  • Visual inspection on the production line
  • Defects flagged in real time
  • Images saved for every rejected item

Best for: Manufacturers with manual or sample-based QA

You want vision inside your product

  • Image recognition built into your app or platform
  • Runs on the device, a server or the cloud
  • Model updates without app releases

Best for: Product companies adding vision features

The people who have to live with what we build

Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.

We wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Emma CollinsHead of Business Operations at Clearbrook Advisory
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.

Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
Daniel BrooksSite Operations Manager at Oakmere Construction
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Olivia ReedVenue Operations Director at Cedarhall Events
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Michael TurnerWarehouse Manager at Harbourline Logistics
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
William ParkerBid Manager at Westhaven Technical Services
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
Charlotte HayesChief Operating Officer at Elmbridge Services Group
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.

The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
Henry WilsonFinance Director at Ashford Distribution
The team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
Amelia FosterHead of Operations at Meadowcrest Care
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.

Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
Jack HarrisonTechnology Manager at Westbrook Retail
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.
Grace PhillipsOperations Lead at Alderway Field Services
The cloud work started with understanding our existing systems and dependencies. The team documented the setup and gave us a clearer basis for monitoring and ongoing maintenance.

FAQ

The things people ask before they commit.

Still have questions?

Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.

Book a call
What is computer vision?

Computer vision is AI that understands images and video. Trained on examples from your environment, a model can watch a camera feed and detect objects, count them, measure them or spot when something is wrong, continuously and consistently, without anyone watching a screen.

What can computer vision be used for in business?

Computer vision is used to detect and count objects, inspect products for defects, measure size or weight, monitor animals or equipment and track movement. It is most valuable where people currently check things by eye or watch screens, because it works continuously and consistently.

How much data do you need to train a computer vision model?

It depends on the task. A focused detection task can start with a few hundred to a few thousand labelled images from your own environment. Harder tasks, such as fine measurement or rare defects, need more. Backendz assesses your data during the proof of concept.

Can computer vision work with our existing cameras?

Often, yes. Many systems run on existing IP cameras if the position, resolution and lighting are good enough. Backendz reviews your setup first and only recommends new cameras where they will improve accuracy.

What is edge AI in computer vision?

Edge AI means the vision model runs on a device at or near the camera instead of in the cloud. It cuts bandwidth, responds faster and keeps video on site, which helps with privacy and with locations that have poor internet.

How accurate is computer vision?

Accuracy depends on the task, the cameras and the conditions. Backendz agrees a target at the start, measures it on footage the model hasn't seen, and reports the result before deployment. Systems are recalibrated when conditions change.

How long does a computer vision project take?

A proof of concept usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, including data collection and training. A production system across several sites typically takes 3 to 6 months.
