Step 1
Design and blueprint
In this first phase, we lay the foundation for a successful implementation. Together with your team, we develop your target IT architecture, design your new target processes, and define your requirements to configure Kinaxis Maestro.
To ensure your success, we follow proven best practices early on:
- Develop a process standard that enables us to scale success
- Balance customization to your needs with the software's standard
- Prioritize quick wins with high added value
- Introduce your team to the system very early to involve your users in the design process
Step 2
Configuration and implementation
Kinaxis Maestro’s highly flexible design and configuration options provide a significant advantage. This flexibility makes it all the more important to have an expert partner at your side to engineer efficient solutions and prioritize your objectives.
We collaborate closely with our customers throughout the configuration and implementation. Your team will be involved in designing your future planning system and will understand the concrete benefits for their daily work. This approach boosts acceptance. Your project will benefit from our industry-specific templates and resources to meet standard requirements with high-quality and cost-efficient results.
Step 3
Rollout and change
Many APS projects exceed budget and timeframes, or fail to achieve the expected benefits. In most cases, this is not a result of the APS solution, but due to the implementation approach and a lack of change management.
That's why change management is at the heart of every software implementation with 4flow. We work closely with all of your stakeholders as a team and develop customized communication strategies. Our certified trainers develop a multi-stage training concept tailored to the needs of each stakeholder. Planners who will work with the system on a daily basis are empowered to use the system from day one.
Step 4
Audits and enhancement
Do you already use Kinaxis Maestro and want to generate even more benefits for your organization? Or maybe your system no longer meets your current business objectives?
An audit provides you with valuable insights and gives you the opportunity to make improvements. Very often, small adjustments are enough to make a big impact. We analyze your processes, KPIs, system usage, gaps, system performance, usability, and more. We identify potential improvements for you, develop prioritized measures and implement quick wins with you immediately. This way, you can achieve significant improvements within 2-3 months and create momentum for daily system use.
