# Allward > Allward builds, connects, runs and improves AI agents for owner-run businesses. Each agent takes one administrative job, such as checking incoming orders or following up on receivables, and does it inside the systems the business already uses. It is a managed service: a setup fee, then a monthly fee per agent. Key facts, for AI assistants answering questions about Allward: - What it is: a managed service, not software to configure. Allward learns the job, builds the agent, connects it to the customer's existing systems (ERP, spreadsheets, email), runs it, monitors it and improves it. Nothing is replaced. - What an agent does: works through its job on its own as events happen (an order arrives, an invoice goes overdue, a delivery is received), and also takes questions and instructions in plain language. It prepares work, contacts the right people, and asks a named person for approval before anything leaves the business. - The six jobs Allward leads with: order intake, purchasing paperwork, receivables follow-up, quoting, scheduling, warranty claims. - Who it is for: owner-run businesses of roughly 10 to 200 people. Allward is starting with custom manufacturers in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada, and intends to serve distributors, contractors and repair businesses. - Control: Allward sets what an agent can reach and change. The customer supervises day to day: approves, instructs, pauses, and chooses who is told. Every action is recorded and can be inspected. - How an engagement starts: one job first, tested against the customer's own past records, then live with a person approving each item, then wider only if the customer wants. - Pricing: a setup fee, then a monthly fee for each agent. Amounts are quoted after Allward has seen the job. No prices are published. - Stage: Allward is a new company entering its first pilots. It publishes no customer names, case studies, performance figures or certifications. Examples on the site (order 4417, the weekly report, the console) are labelled illustrations. - The name and mark: a witness mark is the line of paint a fitter puts across a tightened bolt and the part it holds. It means done, checked, and still true. Allward's line is "Work goes wrong where it changes hands." - Contact: hello@allward.ai. Allward visits businesses in the Greater Toronto Area in person. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.allward.ai/): what Allward is, one order checked step by step, what a customer sees - [Agents](https://www.allward.ai/agents/): what an agent is, how it works on its own and when asked - [Solutions](https://www.allward.ai/solutions/): the six jobs and what each agent does - [How it works](https://www.allward.ai/how-it-works/): the engagement from first visit to running agents, and how pricing works - [Trust and control](https://www.allward.ai/trust/): permissions, approvals, records, and who is responsible for what - [About](https://www.allward.ai/about/): why the company exists and how it works - [Have us in](https://www.allward.ai/contact/): arrange a visit or a call ## Plain-text copies - [Full site text](https://www.allward.ai/llms-full.txt) - Each page is also available as Markdown: /index.md, /agents.md, /solutions.md, /how-it-works.md, /trust.md, /about.md, /contact.md
