Tell us about your plant.
The most useful first conversation is a specific one — a unit that will not schedule properly, a traceability gap, a PSI Metals role you cannot fill. Start there and we can be concrete quickly.

Three plants. Terms that will not exist again.
We are selecting a small number of design partners to build DigiPlantMES against real operations. This is not a pilot discount — it is a genuine exchange, and both sides commit.
What you get
Up to 100% licence discount
For the first three customers, scaled to the depth of reference commitment you make. A named public reference earns more than a private one.
Five years of free upgrades
Every release on the train, at no additional licence cost, for five years from go-live.
Source code escrow
Held with an independent agent, so a mid-size supplier is never a single point of failure for your operation.
Roadmap influence
Your operational requirements shape the module backlog directly — not through a customer council that meets twice a year.
Tiered implementation fees
Implementation is charged, but at design-partner rates. We are transparent about what it costs us.
What we ask
Reference commitment
A site visit, a case study or a reference call — agreed in writing, and proportional to the discount.
Access to your operation
Time with planners, schedulers and operators. Real data, under NDA. This is the part we actually need.
An executive sponsor
Someone who can unblock the programme when it stalls — because it will, at least once.
Honest feedback
Including the uncomfortable kind. A design partner who is polite about a flaw is not helping either of us.
Who this suits
Mid-size producers, roughly 0.3–3 Mt/year, in steel, aluminium or copper, who have already concluded that tier-1 platform pricing is out of reach and are not willing to keep running on spreadsheets.
Apply using the form aboveQuestions we get asked first
Can you integrate with our existing MES?
Usually yes. Several of our modules — scheduling in particular — are deployed alongside an incumbent MES rather than replacing it. That is often the lowest-risk entry point.
Do you deploy on-premise?
Yes. On your infrastructure, in your own cloud tenancy, or hosted by us. Plant data does not have to leave your boundary.
What does a first engagement look like?
Typically a two to three day on-site workshop covering the units in scope, current systems and the specific pain. You get a written assessment either way, whether or not we go further.
We only need people, not software.
That is fine and it is a real service line. Tell us the role, the module, the phase and the location — see expert resources.
