Work with Metrotechs

Start with the business problem. Build the right technology roadmap.

Metrotechs works with operationally complex businesses to solve technology problems that cross teams and systems. We assess the current state, define the business outcome, and guide work across ERP, Cloud, Data, AI, integrations, automation, reporting, and applications.

Launchpad is the client working system we use to document evidence, assess readiness, establish priorities, build the roadmap, and govern owners, risks, decisions, vendors, and stage gates.

When order, fulfillment, delivery, and service are part of the problem, Order-to-Door^™ maps the full business flow and the systems, data, workflows, and decisions that keep it moving.

When teams bring us in

Growth is exposing weak handoffs between sales, operations, finance, fulfillment, service, and leadership reporting.

AI is a priority, but the business does not yet trust the records, permissions, workflows, or decisions behind it.

ERP, spreadsheets, portals, reports, and integrations each tell a different version of how the operation works.

The business needs one roadmap before committing budget to vendors, software, AI, cloud, integration, or automation work.

ERP

Align the system of record, business processes, integrations, data, and governance around how the company needs to operate.

How client work moves

From business problem to governed technology roadmap.

Launchpad is the working system Metrotechs uses with clients to organize discovery, document the current state, establish priorities, create the roadmap, and govern the projects that follow.

Assess

Capture the current state

During a client engagement, Launchpad captures the business outcome, current-state evidence, owners, risks, constraints, and decisions before delivery work is scoped.

Launchpad entry points

Assess the outcome before selecting the tool.

Each assessment is a doorway into Launchpad. We look at the operating outcome first, then inspect the records, systems, workflows, risks, and dependencies that determine what belongs on the roadmap.

AI Readiness

AI-readiness assessment

We review your operating flow and data, then identify where AI can move a real business outcome first.

Data Review

operating data review

We assess whether your item, customer, transaction, and workflow records can support the business roadmap.

See scope

Cloud Review

Cloud hosting & cost review

We review the architecture, backups, security, spend, and data access controls behind the roadmap.

ERP Data

ERP operating data assessment

We map whether your ERP records, workflows, and integrations can support the business outcomes, practical AI, connected workflows, and reporting the roadmap needs.

What Launchpad proves

The roadmap has to explain what changes after delivery.

Launchpad decides which AI, data, system, integration, reporting, permission, or governance work belongs on the roadmap by tying it to an observable business change.

Industries

Built for industries where operations outgrow systems.

The fit is business-system complexity, not one industry. Launchpad and Order-to-Door™ apply wherever customer orders, delivery, service, reporting, data, workflows, and technology decisions have become too disconnected to manage casually.

Manufacturing

Connect customer orders, ERP, inventory, fulfillment, delivery, service, finance, and reporting without drifting into shop-floor technology.

Distribution

Connect demand, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, fulfillment, delivery, and customer visibility.

Field service

Sequence intake, scheduling, dispatch, service execution, parts, billing, reporting, and repeat work.

Construction and trades

Align estimating, scheduling, procurement, crews, job delivery, change orders, billing, and reporting.

Multi-location operations

Standardize the records, workflows, approvals, reporting, and controls shared across operating sites.

B2B services

Connect demand, scoping, staffing, delivery, client communication, billing, utilization, and margin.

Logistics-heavy businesses

Improve order visibility, routing, handoffs, status, exceptions, delivery performance, and cost control.

Apply model

Manufacturing is one business-systems context, not a shop-floor technology identity. MES may enter the roadmap as a specialist system to assess, integrate, or govern; controls, robotics, commissioning, and production engineering remain outside the core Metrotechs offering.
