Costas Loizou
I connect business systems — and build the platforms between them.
Technical consultant and co-founder of two technology companies. I advise businesses on how to link their systems and automate their work with AI. Based in Cyprus, working remotely with clients in Cyprus and abroad.

Technical consulting
A good system starts with a clear picture of what the business needs. I help you get that picture, choose who builds it, and see it through.
-
Understand the need
Work with your team to find what the business actually needs, before anyone talks about software.
-
Requirements analysis
A clear, written analysis that a developer, a supplier or a tender can work from. Every decision is written down with its reason.
-
Tender support
Help to write the tender, and an independent review and audit of the proposals you receive.
-
Build
If you want, I take the project from the analysis to a working product that your team uses every day.
-
Support
Ongoing support and change after go-live.
15+ years of requirements analysis · own products and client projects
Work areas
Business system integrations
Your systems hold data that the others never see. I link them — one way or both ways — so stock, prices, customers and orders stay in step without manual work. If a system has an interface, even just a file it reads or writes, it can be linked.
- ERP
- Stock control
- Accounting
- CRM
- E-shops
- Websites
- Cloud storage
- Property booking
- Business systems to online shops, both ways
- Products, stock and prices go from the ERP, stock control or accounting system to the shop; customers and orders come back, as invoices with the correct tax where needed. If either side is down, the sync waits and catches up when it is back.
- Leads and job applications into CRMs
- Leads from ads and web forms arrive in the sales CRM as deals, automatically. Job vacancies publish from a recruitment CRM to a website, and applications go back as candidates.
- Spreadsheets to a live website
- Figures that a team keeps in shared spreadsheets in cloud storage become public statistics pages on a website, updated without manual copying.
30+ integration projects
Custom business applications
When no ready-made product fits the way your business works, I design and build one that does — from the requirements analysis to daily use.
- Web and mobile apps
- Back-office systems
- Client portals
- Roles and permissions
- Multi-language
- Reports and exports
- Guest platform for a hotel group
- One platform serves every hotel of the group, each with its own web address and brand. It links the hotel's booking system, restaurants, events, tours and weather, and gives guests a mobile web app for their stay, from pre-check-in to checkout.
- Back-office system for a corporate services firm
- Manages client companies, their directors and shareholders, and every compliance date, with reminders, seven user roles and encrypted backups. In daily use for years, in two separate deployments.
AI automation and data pipelines
Take the repetitive, manual work out of your team's day. I build AI agents and automated data pipelines that do it — with cost and safety controls, and a person in charge of the result.
- AI agents
- Automated tasks
- Scheduled reports and summaries
- Language models
- Data cleansing
- Content generation
- Data feeds
- Location data
- End-to-end property listing engine
- Raw listings go through several stages: cleansing, identification of the property and its duplicates, placement on the map with the nearby places buyers ask about, and then copy written by AI in each client's tone and profile, aimed at the right tier of buyer.
- Public property records, cleaned on a schedule
- Every few hours, new property transactions are collected from public records, cleaned and checked, so market analysis and valuations work from reliable figures.
What I can build for you
- A support agent that answers your customers' questions from your company's own documents.
- A summary of yesterday's figures, sent to your managers every morning.
- Agents that take the repetitive tasks off your team, from checking data to preparing reports.
GIS and property data
Maps and location data for land and property — for the people who value, buy, sell and lend against it.
- Interactive maps
- Land parcels
- Planning zones
- Aerial imagery
- Market analysis
- Property valuation
- Location data services
- Map-based research and valuation tools
- Parcels, planning zones, aerial photos and hazard layers on one interactive map, with measuring tools, market analysis and automated valuations.
- Land and boundary data services
- Reliable local copies of public land-registry and boundary data, served to other systems, so they keep working when the public source is down.
- Location built into other systems
- Addresses placed on the map and nearby places found automatically, inside property listing and hospitality systems.
