Senttr publishes white paper on digital workers in UK industrial companies

UK industrial companies are not refusing AI. They are stuck.

35% of UK businesses now use at least one AI technology. Construction sits at 13%. Manufacturing was last measured at 5%. Bottom of every table.

The reason is not appetite. It is skills, time, and a cost nobody can forecast. And what most firms have bought is a chat window: 85% of AI users have text generation, 7% have AI that actually does the work.

Meanwhile the second job, the quote typed at night, the invoice that sits unsent, the timesheets that arrive late, costs the average UK worker 11.6 hours a week.

So we wrote it down. Our new Senttr white paper, The extra pair of hands your operational team has always needed, covers:

• where the value leaks between enquiry and cash

• what a digital worker is, and what it is not

• the arithmetic of £600 a month, with break-even at 6.7 hours a week

• how to run the first 90 days and land in the minority that gets value

Every market figure is sourced. Every assumption in the model is yours to change.

Written for owners, MDs and operations, commercial and finance leaders in UK construction, manufacturing, engineering, distribution and field services.
