Agentic AI for established businesses

Grow the business.
Not the overhead.

SLAM puts agentic AI to work inside your operations. Less repetitive work, lower SG&A, and teams free to use their judgment. Led by Simon Lafrenière, an engineer with more than 26 years of experience across complex industries.

English or French. No pitch deck. We talk about your operation.

Agents carry the repeatable load. Your people keep the calls that need judgment.

What changes when agents carry the routine work.

Outcomes we build toward and measure
01

Lower SG&A

Take cost out of administration, reporting and coordination, not out of the people who serve your customers.

02

Scale without matching headcount

Handle more orders, sites and clients without hiring at the same pace as you grow.

03

Free people for judgment

Repetitive tasks move to agents. Your team gets time back for decisions, clients and improvement.

04

Savings you can measure

Every engagement starts from a baseline, so the gain is counted, not claimed.

The problem

Your best people should not be the glue between your systems.

In most established companies, skilled and well-paid people spend a large part of their week moving information around. It never shows up as a line item. It shows up as overtime, slow decisions and the next hire you think you need.

Reporting loops

Pull data, format it, send it, answer questions, reformat, send again.

Handoffs between systems

ERP to spreadsheet to email to presentation, copied by hand.

Follow-ups and chasing

Hours spent on reminders, status checks and confirmations.

Workarounds nobody owns

Shadow spreadsheets that exist because the real process never got built.

Agentic, not another chat window

A chat tool answers. An agent does the work.

Most companies already pay for AI licences. Few have changed how the work gets done. We build agents that run real workflows, inside clear limits, with a person accountable for every decision that matters.
