Companies like yours are already putting AI to work.
In McKinsey’s 2026 survey, nearly 9 in 10 companies use AI in some part of the business. Pick your industry to see what it’s doing for a company like yours. McKinsey, The State of AI in 2026
Unytite · U.S. fastener maker, founded 1986
Finding a drawing or spec now takes under a minute.
90%+less time spent searching
200+ hrssaved across engineering and production
60,000drawings and documents, now in one searchable place
Drawings and specs used to be scattered across network storage, the ERP and email, so people asked senior staff where things were. Now they search one place.
Millcraft Paper · Family-owned distributor, founded 1920
Reps stopped typing in orders and started calling customers.
30%of all transactions run through AI
60%of orders now touchless
Customers email their orders as PDFs, and reps used to type each one in. Now AI reads them and enters the orders, and the company says mistakes are down.
Hirschbach Motor Lines · Refrigerated trucking carrier
Invoices go out in 3 days instead of 9.
288 hrsof manual work saved per week in 2025
98–99%of documents sorted correctly
A load can’t be billed until its paperwork is processed. AI now reads the bills of lading and delivery receipts, and only the exceptions go to a person.
Community Medical Centers · Not-for-profit health network, Fresno, California
Fewer denied claims, and 30 to 35 staff hours back every week.
22%fewer prior-authorization denials from commercial payers
18%fewer denials for services not covered
Claims were denied for missing prior authorizations or uncovered services, and staff wrote appeals after the fact. Now AI flags the claims likely to be denied before they go out.
Sam Brown, CPA, Inc. · Small accounting firm, Troy, Ohio
Five to six staff hours saved on every audit.
30–60 minsaved per engagement letter
5–6 hrsof partner time saved per complex advisory plan
Audit sampling ran on old spreadsheets, and engagement letters and tax plans took partner time. Now AI does the first pass, and junior staff build plans for partner review.
These are published results from other companies, not Westmarch clients.
Sound familiar?
Your best people are buried in busywork.
Re-keying orders, chasing paperwork, hunting for files.
Growth means more hires.
Every new customer adds admin work, and hiring is slow.
Know-how lives in a few heads.
When a key person leaves, the knowledge leaves too.
Tools that never stuck.
Licenses bought, demos watched, nothing changed on the P&L.
The companies getting results pick the right work, build AI into how their team already works, and measure what it returns. That’s all we do.
We build it.Working tools in your systems, not a slide deck.
We measure it.Against a baseline taken before anything changes.
We train your team.So it keeps getting used after we’re done.
We start where it pays.One proven win first, then the next.

Estimate
What could AI be worth to your P&L?
Built on published research and applied conservatively. Adjust it to fit your business.
Used to count added revenue as profit.
People who work mostly at a desk: sales, estimating, customer service, accounting, admin and management. Shop-floor time isn’t counted.
Built on published research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, McKinsey, Science and the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Office hours = office staff × 1,920 (40 hours a week, 48 weeks). Shop-floor and field time isn’t counted, so the estimate stays conservative.
Time back: 5.4% of office hours, the average time saved by workers who use generative AI [1].
Automated work: we assume your first builds target work that fills one office hour in ten, and cut that time by 40%, as measured for professional writing tasks [2]. In customer support, AI lifted output 14% per hour [3].
Hours are valued at the BLS employer cost per hour worked, wages plus benefits, for your industry: manufacturing, $48.62 [4].
Added profit: revenue × 1%, a third of the low end of the 3–15% revenue uplift McKinsey reports for companies investing in AI in sales [5], × your gross margin.
Freed hours pay off when they go to higher-value work or replace new hires. These are estimates, not promises. An assessment measures your real numbers.

The AI Opportunity Assessment.
In two weeks, you’ll know where AI will pay off in your business, what it’s worth, and what to do first.
Week 1
We learn the business.
We talk with the people who do the work, walk through where the hours and dollars go, and look at the systems you already use.
Week 2
We size the opportunities.
Every place AI could help, ranked by what it’s worth and how hard it is, with a plan to keep your data safe.

About
Engineering discipline, applied to AI.
I’m an aerospace engineer by training. In aerospace, nothing flies until it’s tested, and every result gets measured. I started Westmarch Partners to bring that same discipline to AI.
A tool is general. We find the work that costs you the most, build AI into your systems, and measure the result.
We already use some AI tools. Are we covered?
Probably not fully. Most companies use AI for a few tasks, person by person. We find where it fits your actual workflows and build it in for the whole team.
How long does an assessment take?
About two weeks from kickoff. The clock starts once we have your numbers and time on your team’s calendars.
What happens after the assessment?
You get a priced 90-day roadmap. Build it with us, build it yourselves, or wait. The plan is yours either way.
Do we need technical staff?
No. We build it and train your team to use it.
Is our data safe?
It stays under your control. Sensitive work can run entirely on your own hardware.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of the business. Every phase is quoted up front and sized against the return.
What if AI isn’t a fit for us?
Then we’ll say so. Finding that out early is part of the assessment.
