About Team Bison · since 2003

Operators who run their own software in production.

Team Bison is the trading name of Bison Grid Ltd — twenty-three years building and operating production software since 2003. We build the way these operations are run, because we have run them. This is not a generic AI consultancy: the proposition rests on assets that are genuinely hard for a competitor to copy.

Why we win

We run our own software in production. Most rivals don’t.

Operator heritage

Twenty-three years running production software since 2003. We build the way these operations run, because we have run them — the line that does the heaviest commercial work.

Bison Grid in production

Our vehicle-logistics QC platform — with Bison Inspect, ePOD and the native Bison App — live in production with global shipping and logistics operators, and a Claude-powered AI agent operational alongside it.

Reliable AI on quality data

AI deployed in production today on Anthropic / Claude infrastructure, multi-substrate by design, with evals, audit trails, rollback and human-in-the-loop as standard. Reliable results depend on quality data — a discipline we run in production, not an afterthought.

UK senior engineers

Senior UK engineers on every Tier 1 engagement, Cyber Essentials certified and secure by design. A small specialist offshore team extends support coverage, but critical-path Tier 1 work is UK-only — that is the bright line.

A warm customer base

Global shipping and logistics operators are already customers — including Siem Car Carriers, TOTE Maritime, Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Petrucela — alongside working relationships with many cargo survey companies.

Part of Bison Grid Ltd

Team Bison is the trading name of Bison Grid Ltd, our parent company, with two decades of logistics software behind it. The people who design your agents are the people who build them and keep them running.

The Team Bison team
Tim Fairchild
Chief Executive Officer

Founder of Bison Grid. Twenty-three years building and operating production software since 2003 — sets the direction across both brands.

Rich Tunstall
Lead Software Developer

Technical lead across Bison Grid and every Team Bison engagement. Sets the engineering bar — typed code, tests, observability, review on every change.

Liam North
Software Project Manager

Runs delivery — Discovery sprints, scope, weekly cadence and the demo. Keeps work on a clear, visible track.

Secure & UK-delivered

Two delivery tracks. One bright line.

Vertical track · UK-only

Senior UK engineers on every Tier 1 engagement.

Every Discovery sprint, every agent build, every integration, every customer-facing build hour on the Tier 1 vertical engagements. Discovery, scoping, build and named follow-on — UK-based senior engineers you meet on day one. Cyber Essentials certified, secure by design.

Platform track · UK-led

A specialist team extends the working day.

A small specialist offshore team gives production retainers and live platforms eyes on them around the clock. UK seniors stay on call for anything material and own all critical-path Tier 1 work; the offshore team picks up out-of-hours monitoring, response and documented, repeatable patterns.

The bright line: critical-path Tier 1 work is UK-only. The two delivery models do not mix on a single client engagement.

The way in

One queue. Two weeks. A written, costed plan.

Book a paid AI Operations Discovery sprint. We name your costliest document-heavy queue, baseline it on your own numbers, and hand you a costed plan — credited in full against any follow-on build.
