Detroit, Wayne County
AI and BI consulting for Detroit businesses
Detroit businesses tend to run on systems that grew one department at a time: an ERP nobody fully owns, a dozen spreadsheets that reconcile it, and a reporting process that eats somebody's week. The work here is usually less about buying new tools and more about making the data that already exists trustworthy enough to act on.
Who we work with in Detroit
Organizations with real data and no in-house data engineering function, across the sectors this market actually concentrates in.
Automotive and mobility suppliers
Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with plant-floor data that never reaches the people making purchasing and staffing calls.
Healthcare and provider groups
Multi-site practices reconciling scheduling, claims, and referral data across systems that do not talk to each other.
Nonprofits and civic organizations
Grant-funded organizations that have to report outcomes to funders and are doing it by hand.
Construction and skilled trades
Job costing and bid history sitting in accounting software with no view across projects.
A lot of Detroit-area work starts as a reporting problem and turns out to be an ownership problem: two departments each maintain a version of the same number and neither is wrong, exactly. Fixing that is cheaper than most people expect and does not require replacing the systems underneath.
What we do for Detroit companies
Questions from Detroit businesses
Yes. Palavir is based in metro Detroit, so working sessions, stakeholder interviews, and training happen on-site when that is useful. Most build work happens remotely, which keeps turnaround short and cost down.
Almost certainly not. The test is not headcount, it is whether the work exists. If someone is spending a full day a week assembling a report by hand, or a decision is waiting on a system nobody can report on, there is something worth building. Engagements have started at a single paid day, so finding out does not cost much.
Michigan employers may qualify for Going PRO Talent Fund support covering team training costs. We run AI and analytics training programs that fit that structure, and can point you at the application process.

Fifteen minutes is usually enough to tell whether you have a reporting problem, a data-model problem, or something AI can actually take off your plate.
