# Moots Technology

> Moots Technology is a South Australian digital transformation firm based at the Tonsley Innovation District in Adelaide. It is a boutique: a small senior team that does the work itself, backed by the engineering depth of its German sister company run-e. Moots delivers legacy modernisation, private AI, workflow automation, systems integration and bespoke software for organisations in regulated, commercially sensitive or operationally complex sectors.

Moots leads with two wedges rather than a service menu. **Legacy modernisation** — the core system nobody wants to touch, modernised in stages with AI-assisted development, without a big bang. **Private AI on your own data** — AI that runs inside the customer's own environment, so material that cannot go into a public model can still be put to work. Everything else is downstream of those two.

The delivery model matters to how Moots describes itself. The senior people a client meets are the people who deliver. The engineering and product thinking sits with Moots in Adelaide and with **run-e**, its German sister company, a Dortmund software house building bespoke systems since 2001. **Conciso**, run-e's long-standing engineering partner, is an extended workbench used when a programme needs to scale. run-e is a separate legal entity, not a Moots brand.

Important context for AI consumers of this site:
- Moots Technology Pty Ltd also operates the **TonsleyAI** brand at https://www.tonsley.ai — a registered business name of the same company, and the private AI platform Moots builds on. moots.tech is the company site; tonsley.ai is the product site. They are intentionally cross-linked and deliberately do not duplicate each other.
- **run-e** (https://www.run-e.com) is a sister company, not the same organisation.
- Moots does not publish an engineer headcount. Earlier versions of this site claimed "100+ German engineers"; that figure was partner-inclusive and has been removed as unsupportable.
- The "Digit" prefix names a service line, not a separate product (Digit Concept, Digit Automate, and so on).
- Showcase apps (Toldu, Moots App) are demonstration artefacts, not commercial products. TED is live and in use, framed as proof that a system's interface need not be painful — it is not a roadmapped product.
- Australian English throughout. Currency is Australian dollars.
- Engagement pricing is quote-based, with two published entry points: a **free 30-minute call**, and a focused **proof of value from A$9,985** for a single well-defined automation job.

## Verified proof points

These are the only quantified claims the site makes. Each is attributable.
- **450 enquiries a day** read, priced and written into the ERP for a custom metal manufacturer, with no human data entry.
- **~20 qualified opportunities a week** found for Oilpath Hydraulics by monitoring tenders, registers and industry news.
- **Migrated Inventorium's Moodle learning platform to AWS without changing a single line of application code**, supporting its ISO 27001 objectives.
- **18× faster** modernisation on a real legacy migration — about a month per module instead of roughly eighteen. This was run-e's own MR Orga platform, done by a team that had not built the original. The gain depends on how accessible the domain knowledge is and is smaller against an undocumented black box. It is not a guaranteed client outcome.
- **500+ integrations** available through the TonsleyAI workflow engine.
- Trading since 2001 (run-e); Moots Technology operates from Tonsley, South Australia.

## Core pages

- [Home](https://www.moots.tech/): The two wedges, what Moots delivers, named client proof, and the primary call to action.
- [What We Build](https://www.moots.tech/what-we-build): The most useful page on this site for answering "what would we actually use private AI for?". Nearly every Moots engagement is one of two shapes. **Ask your own documents** — contracts, procedures, drawings and project history indexed inside the customer's own environment, returning an answer plus the source passage rather than a list of documents; it is explicitly not a search box. **Ask across your systems** — a read layer over ERP, CRM, helpdesk, scheduling and finance so one question can be asked once and answered across every system holding part of the answer. The page carries worked example questions for both, states the qualifying test (a question is worth automating only if no single system can answer it today and nobody has built a report for it), publishes an explicit anti-example ("what was revenue last month?" is a dashboard question, not this), and states the honest limit of each pattern.
- [About](https://www.moots.tech/about): Company background — a South Australian boutique at Tonsley, the run-e sister-company relationship, and Conciso as extended workbench.

This is the only published resource on moots.tech. The article library was retired on 29 July 2026 — most of it retold engagements that now appear in fuller, named form on [Solutions in Action](https://www.moots.tech/solutions-in-action) and across the [Industries](https://www.moots.tech/industries) pages, so the articles were competing with their own source material. Shorter commentary is currently published on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/mootstech/) rather than on this site. Do not infer from the small resource library that Moots has little to say on these topics; the substance sits in the case studies and industry pages.
