What happens when you get in touch

When you get in touch about MaXXflow, the first step is a discovery session. We review how your business currently manages demand, materials, bills of materials, purchasing, inventory and production, then demonstrate the MaXXflow workflows most relevant to your operation.

We need to understand the problem before we show you any software. A demonstration given too early turns into a generic tour, and it's hard to connect a tour to the problems you're actually dealing with.

That's true whichever button brought you here. Asking for a free trial and asking to talk to an expert both lead into the same first conversation.

It isn't an interrogation or a long checklist. It's a practical conversation about how work moves through your business, in your own words, starting broad and narrowing to the areas most likely to be causing pain: BOM handover, inventory visibility, purchasing, production readiness, job tracking, reporting and growth pressure.

Along the way we'll want to understand:

• how you plan today, and which systems and spreadsheets you use
• where the same information is entered or checked more than once
• where delays occur, and which roles feel them most
• where uncertainty about materials or priorities affects your ability to deliver

It also separates an occasional inconvenience from a real business issue. A missing part once every few months is annoying. Shortages that affect delivery every week are a different conversation.

If you already run an ERP, accounting or inventory system, discovery is where we work out which information MaXXflow needs, which system should stay the source of each type of data, and which connections matter for a first phase and which can wait. The detail is on Integrations.

You don't need to prepare a presentation. Bring your operational priorities into the conversation, not a list of software features. If you'd like to sharpen your thinking first, the MRP readiness assessment covers the same ground.

A tailored MaXXflow demonstration follows a practical workflow rather than a tour of every screen. Typically it will:

1. Review demand or planned work.
2. Examine product and BOM requirements.
3. Check inventory availability and allocations.
4. Identify purchasing requirements and supply risks.
5. Review work-order readiness.
6. Examine scheduling or capacity constraints.
7. Show the relevant dashboards, alerts and AI-assisted insights.

It starts where your pain is strongest. For many manufacturers that's the product and its BOM. An operations team may start with a dashboard of job readiness and exceptions, a purchasing team with material requirements and shortages, and a leadership team with an overall view of status and risk.

We use prepared data to show the flow and the outcomes, so you're watching your kind of problem get answered rather than someone typing in records. And we'd rather show one workflow well than five poorly.

The demonstration has worked when you recognize, in your own words, a problem you're trying to solve. For the full product story behind it, see What MaXXflow does.

The session ends with a discussion of fit, implementation priorities and the most useful next step.

That step depends on where you are, not on a fixed sales process. It might be:

• a deeper session with the operations, purchasing and production people who live with the problem
• mapping your current workflow to decide what a first phase should cover
• a data readiness review, if you're unsure where your data stands
• a proposal and implementation scoping, if you're ready to talk commercially

Discovery is also what lets us prepare a proposal aligned with the right implementation approach, which is how you get a number. After workflow mapping, we can provide an implementation plan covering scope, responsibilities, milestones, testing and go-live.

Discovery can also confirm whether your workflow suits MRP at all. If MaXXflow wouldn't reduce the friction you're dealing with, it isn't the right fit, and it's better for both of us to know that early.
