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 30 days. Then grow.
We focus on a fast but 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.

Introduction
Goal: Getting to know each other

We get to know you. You get to know us. Before anything else, we take the time to learn your products, market, and challenges. We show you a live demo of the configurator, so you discover how Elfsquad works and what it could do for your business.

No pressure, no pitch. Just an honest conversation to figure out if there's a real match.

What you walk away with
 
A live demo of the configurator
 
We learn your products, market, and challenges
 
You discover how Elfsquad works, with answers to your questions about CPQ, implementation, and what to expect

Deep Dive
Goal: Understanding your specific business

We start with a conversation, not a demo. In sessions with your key stakeholders, 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. Together we define the scope and strategy.

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
 
Sessions with your key stakeholders
 
Scope and strategy defined, with a shared, documented understanding of your business and agreed requirements
 
An honest fit assessment from both sides
 
A quotation

Build
Goal: Turning your product knowledge into a working configurator

You share your drawings, price lists, and product specs. We take it from there. We model your products, variants, and rules, and you approve each step before we move on.

What you walk away with
 
Your products, variants, and rules modeled in Elfsquad
 
Interim reviews, so nothing moves forward without your approval
 
A configurator that reflects how you actually sell

Validate
Goal: Proving it works on your real business

You test the configurator with real products and real scenarios. We make sure Elfsquad fits into your existing IT landscape and process your feedback. Nothing goes live until you say so.

What you walk away with
 
A configurator tested against your own products and scenarios
 
Elfsquad connected to your existing IT landscape
 
The go-live decision, on your sign-off

Go-live
Goal: Real use within 30 days

We move fast, but not recklessly. Your configurator is live and ready to use, and your team starts generating real quotes. Not a demo, not a pilot. Real use, real value. Maintenance is included from day one.

What you walk away with
 
A live configurator, ready for daily use
 
Immediate, measurable value: faster quoting, fewer errors
 
Maintenance included from day one
Typical scope for optional next 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

Let's Grow Together
Goal: Scale profitably without losing what makes you unique

New products, markets, and changes are handled by us. Your contact is there when you need them. And your configurator keeps developing, alongside your business, for as long as you use it.

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
 
A contact for onboarding new functionality and output documents
 
Our engineering team improving and extending what's already built

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.

Built by people who know manufacturing. Our own AI, trained on more than a decade of configurator expertise, does the heavy lifting. A human checks the work, always.

One point of contact, a fixed price, maintenance included. Up and running from day one.
