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We do not publish fixed prices because cost depends on scope.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.
