We've worked with enough operators in Devonport to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI fraud detection project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
For Devonport operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI fraud detection actually does
Pattern-watching AI for refund abuse, chargebacks, fake reviews, employee fiddles, and odd supplier invoices. Flags weirdness early - before it's a real problem.
- 01 Learns your normal patterns and flags outliers
- 02 Daily anomaly report, not a constant alert flood
- 03 Explainable scoring so you can act with confidence
- 04 Integrates with Xero, Shopify, and POS systems
Built on: Claude DuckDB Postgres Vercel
Where Devonport operators actually lose hours.
- Devonport is the freight gateway to Tasmania, where the Spirit of Tasmania sets the clock for a lot of local business.
- Ferry freight, agriculture, vegetable processing and logistics on the north west coast. Timetable-driven dispatch and customer updates are constant and still largely manual.
We work with teams across Devonport: Devonport CBD · East Devonport · Latrobe · Spreyton · Ulverstone.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI fraud detection for a Devonport team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Devonport business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Devonport businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Devonport businesses?
Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI fraud detection stack we reach for is Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
