Thinkwise for non-standard business critical
The past decades many organisations have struggled to implement standard ERP solutions. Practice shows that being standard is not a given. Implementing best practices is valuable when those best practices improve your processes or make them more efficient. The issue during implementations is that this borderline is not clear at all and in most cases creates two sides of argument within the teams. People tend to stick to their ways of working because they are used to it. Others argue that certain non standard specifics are crucial to their business. We have experienced that you have to overcome the first one and adhere to standard whereby the second one needs something else then standard ERP.
The Thinkwise AI-Powered model-driven development platform delivers exactly this. A new ERP, TMS, PIM, MES, WMS, OMS and/or any other business-critical application can be developed exactly according to the unique ways of working of specific businesses. Alternatively, alongside standard software, the Thinkwise platform can support specific processes that do not fit standard ERP. The platform ensures that your unique application is technologically renewed in no time because the functional side is separated from the technical side securing an architecture which supports your uniqueness, is quickly adaptable and continuously using the latest technology.

We work in various ways to support our customers. Although this is always flexible, our support is always based on delivering specific skills and capacity that is needed to make your project a success. Below you find an overview of the different ways we can cooperate with you.
Start
From idea to plan
Digital Innovation Assessment
Expert assessment of your current situation, requirements and potential for innovation, including a ballpark estimate. Together with your team, we walk through our 9 step methodology Digital Innovation Accelerator to analyse your request and determine the way this can be developed or implemented.
Digital Innovation Assessment Workshop
Extended expert assessment including more detailed requirement analysis and solution designs, including an estimate for each component of the solution. Together with your team, we walk through our 9 step methodology Digital Innovation Accelerator to analyse the required architecture and development journey. Based on the findings we make an implementation plan proposal.
Development
From plan to minimal viable solution
Project support and coaching
For new development projects we focus on delivering a minimal viable solution which is basically the first go-live of the solution. Our team does this by following our Digital Innovation Accelerator methodology in a strict way. We deliver development execution for your sprints and we guide your team to deliver the minimal viable solution. For self sufficient teams we deliver coaching for a specific amount of hours per week (2, 4, 8).
Innovation
From sprint to increment
Sprints
Most common approach is running Agile sprints to deliver solutions or solution increments. Together with your team we do sprint refinements to scope each sprint and make specific agreements when and how certain user stories or tasks will be delivered. This can be done to innovate something completely new or improve existing solutions and applications. Development can be done by your own team members, our team members or a combination of the two.
Service
Keep you running
Service
Once solutions go live you need a premium service to keep everything running. This includes monitoring services to secure your processes are running as they should, solve specific business or technical issues that come up, execute on maintenance and upgrade tasks and whatever else is needed to keep you running at all times. Premium service is agreed upfront based on a specific number of hours per month.
