Pilot ShadowOps in Your Plant

2–3 weeks to full visibility. No long contracts, no enterprise sales cycle. Just data, alerts, and decisions.

What's Included in Your Pilot

📊 Risk Dashboard

Real-time view of job risk scores, constraint alerts, and recommendations. Role-based views for production, procurement, and leadership.

🔔 Smart Alerts

Automated notifications to the right team members. Email, Slack, or in-dashboard notifications configured for your roles.

📱 Data Connection

We connect ShadowOps to your ERP or plant-floor systems. Start with CSV in the pilot, scale to live connectors later.

👥 Weekly Reviews

One hour per week, we review alerts, validate accuracy, and tune the system for your plant's specific constraints.

📋 Audit Trail

Complete record of every alert, recommendation, and decision. Know who saw what and when, and what action was taken.

💰 Founder Pricing

Pilot participants get ongoing founder pricing after launch. No premium, no per-user fees—just one annual price for your plant.

Pilot Qualifications

We're looking for manufacturers where ShadowOps can have the most impact. You're a good fit if:

  • 20+ work centers or 5+ production lines
  • Complex scheduling with dependencies
  • Mix of make-to-order and high-volume work
  • Challenge with on-time delivery or constraint visibility
  • Team willing to dedicate 2–3 hours per week for setup and review
  • Access to ERP data (read-only, no modification access needed)
  • Willingness to try new tools and provide feedback
  • Contract ready to be signed within 14 days

2–3 Week Timeline

W1

Kickoff & Connect

Data sharing agreement, access setup, initial CSV upload or API connector. First test alerts generated.

W2

Model & Tune

System learns constraints. Weekly review call. We validate accuracy and adjust thresholds based on your feedback.

W3

Go Live

Full system deployed. Team trained, dashboards live, recommendations flowing. You make better decisions.

Pilot Cost & Pricing

Pilot participation is free. You cover the cost of your team's time (2–3 hours per week for 3 weeks). After the pilot, founder pricing applies.

Pilot Phase

Free

3-week pilot, full system access, weekly reviews included.

Post-Pilot

Custom Quote

Founder pricing locked in for 2 years. Pricing based on your plant complexity and data volume. Typical range: $15k–$50k/year.

We'll discuss pricing openly during the pilot—no surprises, no enterprise nonsense.

Common Questions

Do you access my ERP data?

Yes, read-only access only. ShadowOps never modifies your ERP or systems without explicit user approval. We read job, material, work center, and constraint data.

What if it doesn't work?

It will take 2–3 weeks to validate fit. If ShadowOps isn't delivering clear value by the end of Week 3, we part ways. No long-term commitment.

Can I try it without committing?

Yes—the pilot is your trial. If you're not seeing value by Week 3, there's no obligation to continue.

What happens after the pilot?

If you're happy (and we're confident it's working), we move to founder pricing and ongoing support. Monthly usage reviews and continuous improvement.

Do you support our specific ERP?

We integrate with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Delmia, and most standard ERPs via API or CSV. If your system is unusual, we'll discuss during the kickoff call.

How much data do you need?

As little as: work orders, materials, work centers, current inventory, lead times, schedules. We'll tell you exactly what's needed in Week 1.
