The finding loses its context.
An assessment identifies a broken handoff, but the supporting records and unanswered questions remain scattered across files.
Launchpad by Metrotechs
Say Goodbye to Static 100-Page PDF Consulting Reports.
Transformation stalls when findings, decisions, and commitments are scattered across reports, spreadsheets, and email. Launchpad connects your operating evidence, complete Digital Transformation Roadmap, owners, decisions, and progress in one shared application. Metrotechs uses this AI-powered platform with mid-market manufacturers and their providers to lead agreed changes through implementation, training, adoption, and acceptance.

The problem with a plan that stands still
A report alone cannot coordinate the work.
Your operating evidence, decisions, and delivery responsibilities need to stay connected as the transformation changes.
Nobody can see the next dependency.
A system change moves ahead before the process owner, required connection, or employee preparation is ready.
Go-live becomes the finish line.
The software is available, but leaders still need evidence that people can perform the task and handle its exceptions.
One engagement, guided by Order-to-Door™.
Metrotechs uses the Order-to-Door™ framework within Launchpad to assess your complete supply chain and locate where customer commitments break down. Its four phases—Promise, Orchestrate, Deliver, and Sustain—cover ten operating stages, from order placement through production, fulfillment, and delivery, with demand, quoting, service, and improvement included. We follow the people, processes, records, systems, and partner handoffs behind each customer promise; Launchpad keeps the findings connected to your Roadmap and the work we lead.
Explore the Order-to-Door™ frameworkIllustrative Example
Follow one shipment update through the Roadmap.
Illustrative scenario: an order-status milestone reaches testing, but a provider uncovers a system dependency that affects the agreed sequence. A missing warehouse shipment update leaves the planner without current evidence. The issue, its impact, the client decision, and acceptance evidence stay connected in Launchpad.
Record the dependency
A provider discovers that the warehouse system cannot supply an agreed shipment update needed for the order-status milestone. They report the issue against the affected milestone, making the missing dependency visible in Launchpad.
Evaluate the impact
Metrotechs reviews the effect on integration, testing, employee preparation, and release. AI-assisted analysis supports our review of options, costs, and sequencing; we bring the business decision to your leaders.
Approve the response
Your leaders approve or deny the proposed change. We record the decision and update the agreed responsibilities and sequence, so providers and internal owners work from the same plan.
Review the evidence
The delivery team tests the complete status handoff. Employees practice finding the current shipment status and handling a missing update before a commitment changes. Your leaders review the evidence against the agreed requirements before accepting the milestone.
Intended outcome: the team follows an approved response, your leaders retain the business decision, and the milestone is judged against operating evidence. The team checks whether planners can find the current shipment status, handle an exception, and communicate an agreed update before the milestone is accepted.
Research Behind Your Roadmap
Your operation.
Manufacturing knowledge.
Current research.
Launchpad runs on AWS infrastructure and brings your operating evidence together with relevant manufacturing knowledge and current research. Its retrieval and research capabilities support the questions we investigate, the options we compare, and the findings we review with you.
Built for mid-market manufacturers.Led by Metrotechs.
Manufacturing systems knowledge
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) retrieves relevant manufacturing and systems information to support our review of ERP, data, integration, and operating choices.
Current technology research
AgentCore web search supports checks against current official product information. We examine capabilities, versions, and integration constraints before relying on them.
Your operating evidence
We use your records, process knowledge, permissions, and constraints to establish what the business needs and which questions providers must resolve.
Reviewed findings
Metrotechs reviews research alongside your operating evidence. Sources, assumptions, unresolved questions, and decisions inform the Roadmap.
Controlled access
Organization-scoped access controls participation in project workspaces. Integration credentials are encrypted, and connections use configured permissions.
Client-specific decisions
We compare retaining, improving, buying, configuring, integrating, or developing against the operating task, potential AI benefit, and requirements your team needs to meet.
The Connected Registry
Connect the work to the tools your team uses.
Launchpad’s registry includes 11 connector types for delivery coordination, notifications, and operating evidence. We assess the systems you have, confirm supported capabilities and access, and configure the connections the engagement needs.
Coordinate delivery
Configured connectors for Jira Cloud, monday.com, and Asana can send assigned tasks, status changes, and escalation events to the project tools your providers use. We agree the connection and field mappings around the Roadmap.
Notify people
Slack and WhatsApp connectors can route selected governance updates to configured channels or recipients. Launchpad also keeps notifications in the workspace, so participants can see which work or decision needs attention.
Review operating results
Business-system connectors include Odoo, Salesforce, Shopify, WooCommerce, and OroCommerce. We define the supported metrics, access, baselines, and targets relevant to your engagement, then use that evidence to review progress.
Start with what already works.
Your Roadmap determines whether an existing system needs improvement, a connection, configuration, or replacement. We agree what information should move, who may access it, and which results the connection must support. The registry also includes a Zapier / n8n connector for forwarding selected governance events to configured webhooks.
AI-Assisted Project Coordination
Spend less time chasing updates.
Launchpad’s AI agents help review project context and surface issues, while configured reminders and overdue notifications keep commitments visible. Metrotechs examines the findings, coordinates the response, and brings decisions to the people authorized to make them.
Keep commitments visible
Named owners, due dates, milestones, and reported blockers show what needs attention. Built-in AI agents support project review and can send configured governance reminders and provider check-ins within agreed permissions. Automated overdue notifications prompt the responsible participants.
Bring issues into the plan
Providers and process owners report progress, dependencies, and requests against assigned work. AI-assisted risk and change analysis helps Metrotechs examine the impact and prepare options for a decision. The recorded issue and decision give participants a common reference for the agreed response.
Keep decisions with your leaders
Your leaders review the evidence and approve or deny requests. Metrotechs coordinates the agreed response and checks delivery against the approved requirements and acceptance criteria.
Your Complete Digital Transformation Roadmap
Five questions. One complete, living Roadmap.
Your Roadmap answers five practical questions about the transformation. It connects approved business and technical work to named responsibilities, dependencies, and acceptance requirements. A focused AI application can move forward while wider operating and data improvements are phased around production, investment, and staff capacity. The plan evolves as you approve changes.
Where are we now?
Establish how people perform the task today, the time and exceptions involved, and the processes, systems, records, constraints, and evidence gaps behind it.
What needs to change?
Define the target operation through Enterprise Architecture: what to retain, improve, connect, configure, or develop, with trusted data and controls for AI.
How do we get there?
Sequence dependencies, investment decisions, milestones, testing, and cutover. Plan communication, training, employee practice, and adoption alongside implementation.
Who is responsible?
Assign work to Metrotechs, client process owners, and providers. Establish decision authority, required resources, and ongoing operating ownership.
How will we know it works?
Agree business outcomes, technical checks, and operating demonstrations. For an AI application, compare evidence quality, total task time including review, errors, and ongoing cost with the baseline. Your authorized leaders accept the agreed work.
Metrotechs leads. Work stays connected.
Practical Supply Chain AI
Connect a useful application to the work it needs.
Investigating a delivery risk, reviewing an incoming purchase order, or summarizing a supplier change are illustrative AI applications to evaluate. Each aims to reduce repetitive work or help people reach a reliable answer faster. The Roadmap defines the source records, access, employee review, and evaluation needed for the application.
Evaluate the operating benefit
Agree the task and a baseline before choosing the solution. An order-intake trial, for example, compares entry and correction time while employees check extracted details before approved records change. Evidence quality, exceptions, and ongoing cost matter alongside speed.
A connected ecosystem enables self-service
Self-service is a natural benefit of connecting the operation. Customers, dealers, employees, and partners can use reliable information to complete appropriate tasks. The Roadmap defines access, workflows, and help with exceptions where those tasks belong.
Launchpad uses AI to assist our consulting work and keeps the engagement connected. Your operational AI applications are selected, implemented, and evaluated through the approved Roadmap; Launchpad does not run those applications.
When It Fits
When one customer promise depends on many teams.
Launchpad fits when quoting, production, inventory, fulfillment, delivery, or service depends on disconnected information and decisions. We work with you to understand what needs to change and lead a practical sequence of work. The shared record helps everyone follow the approved responsibilities, decisions, and progress.
