The Process
Free 15-to-30-minute conversation about your specific business requirements or pain points. We will tell you how we would approach your problems.
If you request a proposal, we will put together a document that formalizes our process and provides you with a timeline, deliverables, measurables, and project fees.
If you sign a Statement of Work, we will develop the solution using the approach/tools outlined in the proposal. We will stay in constant communication and ensure the project stays on schedule.
Once we are satisfied with the results of user testing/training, we will deploy the solution to your production environment and monitor the measurables, applying hotfixes as needed.
Once the solution is stable in production, we will send you the final project files. We want your technical employees to understand the solution rather than rely on us for maintenance.
WHY CHOOSE US
We price our products and services based upon development and testing time. Low complexity projects won’t cost a lot but will have strong ROIs.
We don’t bill our customers to tell us about their problems. Within 30 minutes of discussing your BC system or reporting issues, we will know if we can help.
Unlike the megalithic consultancies, we will involve your employees in the development process and give them full access to any project files or source code.
We use the most current technologies and never outsource development or testing of our solutions. We are fully transparent and can explain any of our work to clients.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We prefer to put together a project proposal and statement of work that outlines deliverables and expected development time. Simple extensions to existing tables/pages can be made in a few hours while creating custom applications and integrations takes weeks. We like to keep our projects focused and within scope, so typically the costs are between $500 to $10,000.
We also offer guided testing and post-go-live support at an hourly rate (usually cheaper than developer time). However, our objective is to release bug-free code and transfer ownership of the solution to the client so that we can move onto solving the next problem.
We are a small team of highly technical, highly experienced professionals. We have three techno-functional consultants with 55+ total years of experience in manufacturing and ERP development. We develop in AL code, Power BI DAX, Power Query M, Power Automate Fx, Python, T-SQL, and Excel.
We have only ever worked for American manufacturing companies, and we have strong track record of solving countless business problems for our clients and employers, generating millions in revenue growth and cost savings.
We pride ourselves on being excellent communicators and possess a deep understanding of manufacturing, finance, and sales/marketing. We utilize active listening during initial consultations to assess the needs of the business and succinctly describe how we would address these needs in a proposal document (citing previous experience and required tools). Then we begin development with routine check-ins.
We prefer the flexibility of iterative development with user feedback as opposed to trying to build the entire module upfront only using internal testing (which is typical of larger consulting firms). We understand that requirements evolve, and users may desire a different experience after testing the original concept. Allowing this flexibility leads to higher adoption rates and a lower chance of returning to the same problem.
If you contract with us, we will make ourselves available to you.
For projects, our Statement of Work will specify a timeline with scheduled check-ins that will ensure projects stay on schedule. This document will also have our email and phone contact information for incidental questions and issues. You are welcome to contact us at any time, and we will normally reply within 1 or 2 hours.
For a support or Microsoft licensing contract, we are bound by Microsoft’s Master Services Agreement to respond to any service issues within 24 hours, but we will normally respond within 1 or 2 hours for US time zones. Use the website contact form or send us an email at any time.
Unlike the megalithic consulting firms, we believe that you have the right to understand the code that is published to your production environment.
Because we are creating tailored solutions instead of reselling a proprietary, closed-source application, we feel very comfortable sharing our approaches with your technical employees. We want you to feel empowered at the end of a project cycle so that you can maintain the solution and even create your own in the future.
Transferring ownership usually means sending project files and source code to a repository of your choice. We can close-source the extensions in your production environment for security or to protect the intellectual property, but your technical stakeholders will still have access to the source.
We provide tailored D365 Business Central extensions (developed in AL code), custom reporting solutions (mostly in Power BI), and process automations (with Power Automate). Our products come with a team of consultants with 55+ years of experience in manufacturing and ERP development. We specialize in small-to-midsize companies that are beginning to scale up but are being limited by their manual processes and inadequate Microsoft partners.
