Phase 4 and Timing
Phase 4, go live: migrate and reconcile menu items and recipes and ingredients and suppliers, train each role and support the first weeks.
Timing depends on scope, data quality and team availability, so we agree dates after discovery rather than promising a fixed duration.

Our Approach
How an Engagement Works
The same five stages apply to every platform, so you always know what comes next.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Discover | Workshops and process mapping with the people who do the work. We record what happens today, where it breaks and what must not change. |
| 2. Scope and propose | A written scope with modules, integrations, data to migrate, roles, assumptions and a phased plan, so cost and effort are visible before you commit. |
| 3. Configure and build | Set-up, workflows, approvals, reports and integrations built in a test environment and reviewed with your team in short cycles. |
| 4. Test and train | Scenario testing with your own data, role-based training and a go-live checklist agreed with the business owner. |
| 5. Go live and support | Cut-over planning, hyper-care after launch and an ongoing support arrangement for changes, users and reports. |
Cost
What Drives the Cost
A realistic budget covers more than licences. These are the components we scope with you.
| Cost component | What drives it | How to keep it in check |
|---|---|---|
| Licences or subscription | Number and type of users, applications or editions, and contract term | Match user types to real roles; start with the modules you need now |
| Implementation and configuration | Number of processes, approvals, reports and companies or branches | Fix scope in phases; reuse standard workflows before customising |
| Data migration | Volume and quality of customers, items, accounts and open balances | Clean data before loading; agree what history is truly needed |
| Integrations | Number of systems, API quality and real-time versus batch needs | Integrate the few that remove manual work first |
| Customisation | How far your process differs from the standard product | Challenge each change request; keep upgrades in mind |
| Training and change management | Users, roles and languages, plus the time your team can give | Train by role; appoint internal champions |
| Support and hosting | Service levels, hosting model, backups and who owns upgrades | Choose support hours that match trading hours |
We do not publish fixed prices because cost depends on scope. We provide a written estimate after a short discovery call.
