I’m looking for someone to help a knitting factory here in the UK upgrade their Airtable setup.

About eight years ago, I built their Airtable base. It worked great at the time, and they were really happy with it. Then, as they grew, they decided to switch to a more specialised enterprise system because it promised better machine integration.

The idea was to slowly migrate everything over to the new system, but it needed quite a bit of tweaking to actually fit how they worked.

Fast forward to now, and they’ve realised the new system isn’t really working as promised and desperately want to move back to Airtable.

The only issue is that I’m too busy to take on more work myself, and their old Airtable system is quite antiquated. So they asked me to help them find someone solid who could pick up where I left off.

There’s definitely a structure that can be reused. Since the other system never fully got up and running, some things, like material stocks, are still in Airtable. But what I initially built definitely needs an update.

I imagine they need some interfaces, a documint (or similar) setup, some automations and a bit of make integration.

If it sounds interesting, DM me. Ideally, you already have some industry-specific experience, so you'll be up and running from the get-go.

Hey! This sounds like a great opportunity and I'd love to be considered.

I'm David, I build production automation systems for B2B clients, and Airtable modernisation projects like this are something I genuinely enjoy. Inheriting an older base, understanding the original logic, and rebuilding it to match how a business actually works now is a specific skill set and I'm comfortable with it.

For what they're describing, updated base structure, Airtable Interfaces, Documint for document generation, automations, and Make integration, that's a well-scoped stack and I've worked across all of it.

I don't have direct knitting/textile factory experience, but I've built systems for operational businesses handling inventory, order management, and supplier workflows, so the underlying logic maps well. I pick up industry context quickly and won't need much hand-holding to understand how a manufacturing floor thinks about stock and production.

I know you're handing off a client you built trust with over 8 years, so I want to be straightforward: I work cleanly, I document properly, and I build things another developer can understand and maintain. You can take a look at my work at neuralic-ai.vercel.app to get a feel for how I operate.

Happy to jump on a quick call with you first if that helps before introducing me to the client.
