What We Do
Specialist practice

Deep Tech.

A specialist team that builds and operates real systems — not slideware. We put computer vision to work in retail and warehouses, and we work in defence: a cross-border marketplace for drone parts and software, plus drone operations and ops-centre consulting.

Computer vision

Smart retail & warehouse automation.

AI on your existing CCTV — tied to billing & dispatch

We add AI to the cameras you already have and connect what they see to your billing and dispatch systems. The result: products being loaded, unloaded and sold are tracked automatically, and every movement is reconciled against the right bill.

That closes the gap where stock walks out without a bill, dispatches go unrecorded, or shrinkage hides in the numbers — without new hardware on the floor.

How it connects
CCTV feed — AI vision detects items & movement
↓ matched to billing system — is there a bill?
↓ matched to dispatch — loaded / unloaded logged
Exceptions flagged for review in real time

Add real client name & result figures once cleared for publication.

Defence

Drones — marketplace, operations and ops centres.

A cross-border marketplace for drone parts & software

We've set up a marketplace connecting drone parts, software and solutions from India to buyers in Canada and across NATO — giving defence and commercial operators a trusted route to source components and capability across borders.

It pairs supply from a fast-moving manufacturing base with the compliance and assurance that cross-border defence procurement demands.

The corridor
India — drone parts, software & solutions
↓ marketplace: sourcing, assurance, compliance
Canada & NATO — defence & commercial buyers

Drone operations consulting

Standing up and running drone operations — fleet, crew, maintenance, mission planning and the regulatory side.

Ops-centre consulting

Designing and operationalising command and operations centres — the people, process and systems to run missions at scale.

Why a separate practice

Deep tech is built, not advised.

Computer vision and defence work demand specialist engineers, hardware know-how and — in defence — a compliance posture the rest of our practice doesn't touch. So we run it as its own team, with its own people and its own way of working.

It still connects to the rest of Backstage: the strategy, the AI and the operating-model work that turn a deep-tech capability into a business.

What we bring
  • Computer-vision systems integrated with your existing operations
  • Cross-border drone parts & software sourcing (India → Canada / NATO)
  • Drone operations stand-up and consulting
  • Command & operations-centre design and run support
