A plant does not pause for a software release. IncogX designs operational systems for the way a site actually runs, and for the harder problem of many sites that are not identical. Client names stay private.
In brief, then in detail
- The operation, not the module list. What a planner, a supervisor, and a buyer need before the shift moves on. The software fits that minute.
- Many sites. A public pattern is ERP across more than 50 locations. Shared process where it is truly shared. Local exception where the plant is different.
- Rollout as a portfolio. Sites move in waves. A pilot teaches the next wave. A date for all sites on day one is usually a wish.
- The floor and the office. The number in finance and the number on the line should be the same fact, or the difference should be explained.
How it is run
Discovery spends time on one real site before the template is declared. Architecture covers identity, integrations to machines or existing ERP, and what happens when a site is offline. Training and cutover are scope. A sprint review that only a head-office user understands is not acceptance for a plant.

What the rollout needs
- Site waves
- Pilot plant
- Role-based access
- Offline tolerance
- Cutover plan
- One definition of the number
Terms, in plain language
- Wave. A group of sites that move together, small enough to support and large enough to teach.
- Pilot. The first site used to find what the template got wrong, before the rest inherit it.
- Cutover. The planned moment a site starts to depend on the new system, with a way back.
- Master data. The shared facts, such as items, locations, and units. Bad master data makes a good process look broken.
