Built for discrete manufacturing
You never pay to find out whether it works. What follows is the whole commercial shape, in the order it happens.
Stage 01
No cost
One part, your history, a real package.
Stage 02
Where most floors start
One-time setup
7 to 10 working days configuring it on your data.
Everything in the pilot, plus
Stage 03
Monthly retainer
The system, the people, and the changes as they come.
Everything in the build, plus
A floor answering 300 requests a month needs more configuration and more support than one answering 30. Publishing a single number would mean overcharging half the people reading this page.
So it gets set on the call, in about 10 minutes, once we know your part mix and how much arrives in a month. You will have the figure before you have committed to anything.

The cost that never appears on a statement is the quote nobody had time to send.
This fits
This does not
A setup fee and a monthly retainer, set on the call against your part mix and volume. We do not publish a figure because a floor answering 300 requests a month and one answering 30 are not the same conversation.
Yes. One part, your package, your history, and the quote generated in front of you. Nothing is paid until you have watched it work.
Nothing is owed and your data comes back to you. That is the point of pricing the pilot at zero.
No. It reads live material, stock and work-center data from whatever you run.
No. It runs month to month and you can stop with 30 days notice. We would rather earn the next month than hold you to a year you regret signing.
Your data comes back to you, including your rates, your routings and your indexed history. The configuration itself runs on our system, so it stops working when the retainer stops.
No. Put every estimator, the sales head and the GM on it at no extra cost. Charging per seat would push you to keep people out of the system, which defeats the point of it.
Work out what it is worth on your own volume.
