01
Final testing and acceptance
Full testing of key business scenarios, validation of data and processes, formal acceptance by area owners.
Start of work in the system
Controlled operational take-off Standard ERP
Starting to work with the system should not resemble a jump into deep water. We prepare it step by step: from the final tests and data organisation to strong support in the first weeks of daily work.
First testing and data preparation, then moving on to daily work
Starting work step by step
We plan the transition to day-to-day work like an operation, not like one big rehearsal day. Each step has a purpose, an owner and a moment of control.
02
Data preparation and migration
Key stageWe tidy up the historical data, transfer it to the new layout and check that everything matches up before starting the daily work.
03
Transition plan and communication
Determine the exact moment when the work starts, usually at the beginning of the month or after the close of a period, and inform the team and clients of the change.
04
Start of work - first day
On the day of the launch, we are close to the team, follow key processes and react immediately to the first questions or blockers.
05
Stabilisation and adjustments
After the launch, we fine-tune the settings to the company's real workload, remove minor stumbling blocks and smooth out areas that only come out in day-to-day operations.
06
Optimisation and development
Improvements - Automation - Further areas - PlanAfter the first few weeks, we already see what is worth simplifying or speeding up. Then we plan further improvements and further areas.

After the launch
What changes after the start of work?
After the launch, the priority changes: less building, more quiet work, catching repetitive problems and improving what the team does every day.
Full operational work in ERP
The whole team is already working in the new system and sales, purchasing, accounting and the warehouse all rely on the same data.
Real-time support
Consultants and administrators are available during office hours to respond quickly to initial questions and incidents.
Monitoring and analysis of incidents
We track which situations arise most frequently and what causes them - to minimise recurring problems.
Optimisation of flows
Based on real data from the first weeks, we improve processes and automate repetitive activities.
Automations and integrations
We identify processes ready for automation: BPMN, HAL, Node-Red, integrations with external systems.
Reports and analytics
Key financial, sales and stock reports are stable and available in real time through the customer portal.
Post-launch support
What does support look like after the start of work?
After the launch, we do not close the subject. We start a period of stabilisation where we first operate very close to the team and then move into a normal support rhythm.
First week and following days - intensive support
We react quickly, correct the settings and help the team get through the launch and the first days of daily work without constantly operating under pressure.
Standard support
After the stabilisation phase, we move to regular support with a fixed response time and scope of work written into the contract.
Development and further areas
We put together a plan for the next steps: further areas, integrations and improvements to relieve the team in real terms.
Service agreement and support rules
You can set the level of availability, response time and hourly support budget in the service contract.
We establish the scope and terms of support before work starts so that the rules of cooperation are clear from day one.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about starting work
The most common questions about the transition to day-to-day working in Standard ERP.
What does a step-by-step work start-up plan look like?
The launch plan includes final testing, data preparation, setting a transition day, briefing the team and vigilant monitoring of the first post-launch processes. We work out the details together in advance so that everyone knows what to do.
When is the best time to plan the start of work?
Preferably at the natural moment of change: the beginning of the month, after the close of the accounting period or after a weekend. Avoid starting in the middle of the month or during peak sales periods.
What happens if there is a critical problem on launch day?
We have a contingency plan in place. If there is a serious problem blocking work, we can temporarily revert to the previous environment. In practice, with well-run tests, such situations are very rare.
Are there still changes to the system configuration after the boot?
Yes, this is normal. It's only the day-to-day work that shows the little things that don't show up in the tests, so during the stabilisation period we tweak the settings and sort out the details on an ongoing basis.
How long does the post-launch stabilisation phase last?
We are strongest with the team right from the start and in the first days of operation. After that, we move to standard operating principles, but the extent of support further adapts to how widely the system is developed.
Can further areas be added after the first start?
Yes. Once the first scope is working steadily, we plan the next steps. Each new area goes through the same quiet rhythm: plan, set-up, check, training and start of work.
