AI Consulting
Most AI programmes stall between the pilot and the P&L. We find the two or three use cases that actually pay, prove one in a matter of weeks, and stay until it is running in production with your team owning it.

AI Consulting & Software Development
Etraders Group is five practices under one roof: AI consulting, systems development, chatbot design, fashion design, and specialist AI hiring. One team, one contract, and a written scope before you spend anything.
Scoped in weeks, not quarters. Published prices. Code and IP you own outright.
The problem
Why AI and Software Projects Fail Between Suppliers
The strategy consultant does not build. The build agency does not hire. The recruiter cannot evaluate the engineer. Every handover is a place for accountability to disappear — and it usually does.
-
Nobody Owns the Whole Outcome
Three suppliers, three contracts, and a gap between each one where the responsibility for the result quietly stops.
-
Strategy That Arrives Too Late to Matter
A quarter spent on discovery produces a document, and by the time it lands the commercial context has moved on.
-
Estimates That Were Never Estimates
A number given before anyone examined the integrations. The overrun was decided before the first line of code.
-
Hiring That Cannot Judge the Work
Recruiters who cannot evaluate a technical answer send CVs, and your senior engineers become the filter.
What we do
AI, Software, Chatbot, Fashion, and Recruitment Services
Engage one of them or several. The contract, the delivery standard, and the person answering the phone stay the same.
Systems Development
Off-the-shelf covers ninety per cent of what you do. The remaining ten per cent is your business. We build that part — platforms, integrations, and internal systems — to a fixed scope, with weekly demos and code you fully own.
Fixed, from $9,500
Chatbot Design Systems
Deflection counts the people you stopped. Resolution counts the people you helped. We design, build, and tune assistants against the second number — with the conversation design, escalation paths, and evaluation that make it hold up in production.
Fixed, from $24,000
Fashion Design
A tech pack is a specification document, and a factory is a supplier who builds to spec. We treat apparel development with the same rigour we bring to software: precise requirements, controlled revisions, and a handover the manufacturer can build from without guessing.
From $1,200 per Style
AI Experts Recruitment
Most technical recruitment is keyword matching by people who cannot evaluate the answer. Our screening is run by the same engineers who deliver our consulting work, so a shortlist means something before you spend your team's time on it.
Contingent on Placement
Not Sure Which You Need?
Describe the outcome you are after. We will tell you which of these it needs, or that it needs none of them.

Why us
What to Expect from Your Technology Delivery Partner
Prices Published, Not Extracted
Starting prices for every engagement are on the pricing page. You will know the shape of the number before you book a call, not after three meetings.
You Own Everything
Source code, infrastructure, prompts, evaluation sets, design files, and patterns transfer to you on payment. We work in your repositories and your cloud accounts from week one.
Working Software Over Documents
Every phase ends in something running that you can use, not a slide deck describing something that might one day run.
We Will Tell You Not to Build It
If discovery says the project should not go ahead, we say so and explain why. That has been the honest recommendation on real engagements, and it costs us the follow-on work.
FAQ
Questions Before You Get in Touch
If the answer you need is not here, ask us directly — we answer briefs in writing within one business day.
Ask us something elseWhat Does Etraders Group Actually Do?
We run five delivery practices under one contract: AI consulting, custom software and systems development, chatbot and conversational design, apparel design and tech packs, and specialist AI recruitment. Clients typically start with one and add others as the work grows.
Why Are Fashion Design and AI Consulting on the Same Site?
Because the discipline is the same one. A tech pack is a specification a factory builds from, exactly as a technical specification is what an engineering team builds from. Several clients need the apparel development and the ecommerce platform and the customer service assistant behind the brand, and they would rather have one accountable supplier than three.
How Quickly Can We Start?
A discovery or scoping engagement can usually begin within two weeks of the first call. We respond to a new brief in writing within one business day, and can have a signed NDA in place within two.
What Does It Cost to Work with You?
Entry engagements are fixed price and published: a two-week scoping sprint from $9,500, a three-week AI discovery sprint from $18,000, a thirty-day conversational pilot from $24,000, and apparel styles from $1,200 each. Full builds typically run $45,000 to $180,000 depending on integration depth.
Who Owns the Work You Produce?
You do, in full, on payment. That covers source code, infrastructure code, prompts, evaluation sets, design files, and patterns. We do not retain rights, and we do not reuse your data or your designs for anyone else.
Do You Work with Clients Outside Your Own Country?
Yes. Delivery is remote-first with structured written communication and scheduled overlap hours, and we work with clients across multiple time zones.
Can You Work Alongside Our Existing Team or Supplier?
Routinely. We pair with in-house engineers, take over from a previous supplier, or run one workstream alongside others. Where we inherit a system we start with a paid technical audit so nobody is guessing about its condition.
Tell Us What You Are Building, and We Will Put Real Numbers on It.
