Getting started
From first conversation to go-live
Implementing MaXXflow is a focused improvement project, not a software switch-on. Here's what happens, what it asks of you, and how to make the case.
The first step
It starts with how your business works today, not with the software
The first step is a discovery session. We look at how you currently manage demand, materials, BOMs, purchasing, inventory and production, then show you the MaXXflow workflows most relevant to your operation, using a demand-to-delivery story rather than a tour of every screen.
From there, you decide together whether MaXXflow fits, what to tackle first and what the next step should be.
How implementation works
Focused, phased, and built around one workflow first
Implementing MaXXflow is a manufacturing improvement project, not a software switch-on. A phased approach gets one reliable workflow working before you expand.
01
Map how work flows
We map your current workflow and agree the outcome you want.
Start from how work really moves.
02
Pick the first workflow
Choose the one use case that will make the biggest difference: shortages, purchasing, job readiness or visibility.
One reliable workflow beats five half-done.
03
Prepare the data
Get the items, BOMs, stock, suppliers and open orders for that workflow into reasonable shape.
Good enough to start, better over time.
04
Configure and test
Set up roles, workflows and dashboards, then test with realistic orders, shortages, delays and changes.
Test with real scenarios, not clean samples.
05
Train, go live, review
Role-based training, a supported go-live, then a review before extending into further workflows.
Go-live is the start of use, not the end.
What it asks of you
You don't need an IT department. You do need owners.
Central Innovation brings the implementation and product expertise. Your business owns its operating decisions, core data and adoption.
Before you get in touch
Bring your own numbers to the first conversation
The strongest business case is built on your own operating costs, not generic improvement percentages.
Put a few figures into the planning cost check to see roughly what disconnected planning costs you each year, and bring that number to the discovery conversation.

Questions before you start
How long does implementation take?
It depends on the scope of the first phase and how ready your data and people are: the workflows involved, the condition of your BOM, inventory and supplier data, the number of users and sites, and any essential integrations. After discovery and workflow mapping, you get an implementation plan with responsibilities, milestones, testing and the go-live approach.
Does our data need to be perfect first?
No. You need the data for your first workflow in reasonable shape, and an owner for it. Many businesses need MaXXflow precisely because their data is scattered today. See Getting your data ready.
How much does MaXXflow cost?
Pricing depends on the workflows, users, locations, implementation and integrations in your scope. A discovery session lets us prepare a proposal for your business. See How MaXXflow pricing works.
