Requirements analysis

Your expectations and needs are our priority, so we put you in the driver's seat while conducting a thorough requirements analysis. To ensure your needs are covered, you’ll get a quick questionnaire to fill out, outlining your preferences and areas of interest. By helping examine your manufacturing model, you remain in control of what you want to see and when.

If the requirements analysis uncovers any gaps or issues, we will collaborate with you to address them effectively. You will have access to the core product and service team members to help you fully understand the functionality and roadmap and the proper course of action. If certain features require additional development, you’ll discuss them and collaborate with our product team. We value feedback, so this process helps us strengthen our product while meeting the needs of our new and existing customers. 

Your specific needs will be further addressed using Manufacturo’s Integrator module which offers several customization options such as:

The ability to build and embed custom screens that look and act like the standard product

Add new and custom endpoints for easier and more efficient integration with other systems

Implement bespoke business logic, ensuring seamless integration with your existing workflows

Add additional custom attributes to most Manufacturo entities ensuring proper coverage of critical information

We will organize time to talk with our subject matter experts (SMEs) to delve deeper into any specific features and functionalities that you require. These breakout sessions will help you understand how Manufacturo can help your organization and eliminate frustration and risk.

Weekly meetings

We will hold weekly meetings (or more if needed) to ensure you have all your questions answered and to create as much comfort as possible in making your decision.

Signing the order form
