Implement the Elfsquad Way.
Go Live With Confidence.

You've spent years perfecting your products and your processes. The last thing you need is a software project that slowly shifts control away from your team and where consultants take over. That's why we came up with our way of doing implementations, in a way that matches how manufacturers work.

Implementation

What every manufacturer should expect from our CPQ implementation

 
Clear scope. Fixed fee.
Manufacturers deal with enough uncertainty, your implementation shouldn't add to it. You'll know exactly what's included, what it costs, and what you'll have at the end.
 
Your knowledge stays yours.
Your product knowledge and configuration logic are a competitive advantage, built up over years. We make sure that stays inside your company, not locked away in consultants or custom code.
 
Value in 90 days. Then grow.
We focus on a fast but mainly solid first go-live. Once you're live and gaining operational value, we expand scope together, at a pace that fits your business, not one dictated by a project plan.

Deep Dive
Goal: Understanding your specific business

We start with a conversation, not a demo. We want to understand your business: how you sell, how your products are configured, what's breaking down as you grow, and what "better" actually looks like for your team.

We've talked to hundreds of manufacturers. We've seen what works and what doesn't. We'll tell you honestly whether Elfsquad is the right fit. And if it isn't, we'll tell you that too.

What you walk away with
 
A shared, documented understanding of your business, its needs, and agreed requirements
 
Clarity on whether Elfsquad is the right fit, from both sides
 
A quotation

Foundation
Goal: Establish the technical and functional basis

This is where we set the foundation and where we invest heavily in your team. We kick off with a workshop that teaches your team how to build and manage the EMS model. From there, we establish the full technical and functional foundation, defining the model structure, locking in the project plan, and confirming the final implementation fee.

What you walk away with
 
Your team trained and confident to work with our application
 
An agreed configuration model structure aligned to your product logic
 
A project plan defining the full scope and all implementation phases ahead
 
A final, confirmed implementation fee

Implementation – Phase 1
Goal: Go live within 90 days

We move fast, but not recklessly. The goal is a real go-live within 90 days: your team actively using Elfsquad to generate output. Not a demo, not a pilot, not a proof of concept. Real use, real value, real quotes being generated.

We've done this with manufacturers across industries. We know the shortcuts that create problems later, and we avoid them.

What you walk away with
 
First active, daily use of the software in your operations
 
Immediate, measurable operational value: faster quoting, fewer errors

Implementation – Subsequent Phases
Optional
Goal: Maximize value based on your project plan

Once you're live, the roadmap you agreed in Foundation guides what comes next. Additional phases are fully optional, defined by what your business needs, not what looks good on a project plan. Every phase should earn its place by adding real operational value.

Typical scope for subsequent phases
 
Additional configuration models for new product lines or markets
 
ERP, CRM, or PLM integrations to close the loop across departments
 
Dealer and channel rollout, bringing your network onto one system
 
Enhanced output documents, automations, and workflows

Live – Let's scale together
Goal: Scale profitably without losing what makes you unique

When no active implementation is running, our customer success team takes ownership of the relationship. We stay involved, not to sell you the next thing, but to make sure Elfsquad keeps delivering value as your business evolves.

Your products change. Your market changes. Your Elfsquad should keep up. That's what this stage is for.

Ongoing support model
 
Quarterly business reviews and strategic check-ins
 
Customer Experience team for onboarding new functionality and output documents
 
Engineering team for improving and extending already-implemented functionalities
 
Access to the Elfsquad support team and user community
Why our implementation works

We come from manufacturing and implement accordingly

Manufacturers who compete on customer-specific solutions face a challenge that most software companies don't fully understand. Your variants, your constraints, your dealer network, it's not a configuration problem. It's your entire business model.

As you grow, that complexity becomes harder to manage across sales, engineering, and production. What once worked, Excel, unwritten know-how, ad-hoc processes, stops holding. Margins shrink. Errors increase. Flexibility decreases.

We've seen it hundreds of times. And we built Elfsquad specifically because the systems manufacturers were being sold weren't built for how manufacturers actually work.

What We Hear

"We've tried configurators before. The project took 18 months, we lost control, and now we can't change anything without consultation."

What We See

Sales quoting from memory. Engineering re-entering data from quotes. Production working from hand-written notes. Every department solving the same complexity separately.

What Changes with Elfsquad

One shared model. One source of truth. The same logic that drives your quote also drives your BOM, your engineering output, and your production order, without anyone re-typing a thing. And because your team owns the model, you stay in control as your products and processes evolve.
