Pricing & payback

We start with a paid pilot Sprint that is fully refundable if we miss. After that you are priced on how many internal workflows you keep live (plus AI usage).

What counts as a
“workflow” (plain English)

A workflow is an end-to-end operational process with a clear start (trigger), steps (guided work plus data capture), and a finish (outputs plus handoffs). It can span teams and talk to your ERP/MES/QMS/WMS — without a rip-and-replace.

Common examples — pick yours

Production (MES)

Shop-floor execution for Line A; changeover and first article; scrap and rework loop

Quality (QMS)

Hold / NCR / CAPA; in-process inspection; lot release with dual sign-off

Materials (WMS/MRP)

Receiving → put-away; kitting and line-side replenishment; cycle counts

Planning (APS)

Scheduling and re-plan (crews, tools, changeovers); ATP and CTP checks

Maintenance (CMMS)

Work orders (break/fix and PM) with parts and labour capture

Engineering (PLM)

ECO/ECR release to the floor; revision control and effective dates

We count workflows. Your exceptions are first-class citizens from day one.

What's included with every Ironvale instance

Some of the functionality you will receive

Iterate fast

Timeline & effort

We compress six months into two weeks — but we need focused time:

Day
1 — 2.

Pick one bottleneck

Your subject-matter experts design the workflow; operators walk us through the steps as they actually happen on the floor.

Day
3.

First workflow live

On that bottleneck, running against real work rather than a demo dataset.

Day
4 — 10.

Daily releases

Operators test on the floor; Ironvale's agents ship overnight fixes and improvements before the next shift starts.

Day
11.

Go-live and stabilisation

Then you queue up the next workflows in the backlog.

Effort required from you.

We will do in two weeks what your previous setup spent six months attempting, but that speed depends on focused time from your team.

Internal champion

Priorities, unblockers, daily reviews

45–60 min/day

Decision cadence

Named bottleneck

Pick one hot issue (MES/QMS/inventory/scheduling). We ship that first, then expand.

FAQ

Procurement here is slow. Can we just start?

Most pilots start with a simple purchase order and our standard pilot agreement — plain terms your procurement team has seen many times before. We know the real cost isn't $3.4K a month; it is the six months of paperwork around it. That is exactly why we keep it short: standard agreement, standard terms, start quickly.

For large enterprises or heavily regulated industries where even a pilot needs a full procurement cycle, reach out directly. We have several ways to structure this that satisfy your procurement requirements while still moving at pace.

What does “AI usage” mean, and when would I pay more?

AI usage covers the model calls behind document extraction, guided work steps, and the answers your team asks for. Every plan carries a monthly credit; if a workflow runs unusually hot, you can top the credit up in blocks rather than renegotiating the contract.
