This is the path for plants past the question of whether digital work instructions work. The constraint is not proof any more, it is the MES you have to talk to, the four sites that need the same thing, and a customer launch date that is not moving.

The expensive mistakes in this category are scope mistakes. Walking the operation before anything is configured is what surfaces the integration nobody mentioned and the process only one person knows. Six areas, usually a day or two.
Every area that touches the part. Stamping, welding, assembly, paint, molding, whatever your process actually is, and the checks that sit between them.
All areas, plus how work orders are raised today and what downtime currently costs you to reconstruct.
Raw material through work in process to finished goods, and where identity is applied.
How production planning reaches the floor now, and how far ahead it is trusted.
The PLC stack, the CMMS, and what already emits data that nobody is reading.
Tool and die, fixtures, and the maintenance cycle that quietly gates your throughput.
One line integrating to one ERP and four plants integrating to a legacy MES are not the same engagement, and a single published number for both would be misleading. The scoping conversation produces the number, and it is not billed separately.
Then it probably is not, and that is worth saying plainly rather than selling you the larger engagement. The Launch Pilot answers a different question: does this work on our floor, with our operators, on our product. One line, six weeks, $2,500, and it credits in full toward your first annual.
Quick Start is for when that question is already settled and the real constraint is the systems you have to connect to or the number of sites that need the same thing at once.
Quick Start is the assisted deployment tier for manufacturers who need integration with existing systems, multi-site rollouts, or a faster path to full deployment. It includes integration with your MES, ERP, CMMS, PLC stack, and computer vision systems if applicable, a dedicated success manager, and a deployment timeline matched to your launch schedule. Pricing is quoted based on scope.
The Launch Pilot answers whether this works on your floor: one line, six weeks, a fixed $2,500. Quick Start is for plants that are already past that question and know the constraint is integration or multiple sites. If you are unsure which you need, start with the pilot. It credits in full toward your first annual and it is a smaller decision.
Because the expensive mistakes in this category are scope mistakes, not software mistakes. Walking production, quality, maintenance, materials, scheduling and tooling before anything is configured is what surfaces the integration nobody mentioned and the process that only one person knows. That session usually takes a day or two and it is the cheapest part of the engagement.
No, and we would advise against it. Multi-site means the rollout is planned as a sequence with one site proving the pattern first. A big-bang cutover across sites concentrates every category of risk into one weekend you cannot rehearse, which is the failure mode that gives this category its reputation.
It is quoted by scope, because a single line integrating to one ERP and four plants integrating to a legacy MES are not the same engagement and a published number for both would be misleading. The scoping conversation is what produces the number, and it is not billed separately.
The MES that has to stay, the sites that have to match, the date that will not move. Those are the details that decide the shape of the engagement, so the first call is about them rather than about us.
