Implementation

We don't just install software. We work with your factory.

TDS works with each factory to understand, improve and implement its processes, so the system fits how your operation really runs.

The process

Eight stages from first visit to long-term support

Every factory works differently, so each stage is shaped around your structure, workflows and requirements.

01
Start with the factory

Discovery & Factory Assessment

Every factory operates differently. TDS begins by understanding how you actually work before defining the solution.

  • Current workflows
  • Operational problems
  • Information gaps
  • User requirements
  • Areas needing improvement
  • Factory-specific processes
02
Review how work is done

Process Analysis

We map current operations and how information moves between departments. Each analysis is done case by case and reflects your factory's structure, workflows and requirements.

Micro-Level Analysis
03
Improve the process

SOP Redesign

We standardise and improve workflows before or alongside system implementation. TDS writes personalised standard operating procedures (SOPs) based on your existing processes, needs and improvement opportunities. We don't apply one standard workflow to every client.

Technology works better when the process behind it is clear.

04
Define the project

Project Definition

Together we agree what the project will deliver and how. Scope varies from one factory to another, so TDS prepares a custom quotation. It is based on the agreed requirements, process complexity, implementation scope and any system changes needed.

  • Business impact review
  • Project charter
  • Kick-off
  • Agreed project scope
  • Factory-specific requirements
05
Build & test

Development & User Acceptance Testing

We configure the system around your approved processes and SOPs, and develop any required changes within the agreed scope. Then your own users test it. This is user acceptance testing (UAT): the system is signed off before go-live.

  • Configuration & development
  • Required changes
  • Integrations where applicable
  • Testing with client users
  • Acceptance before go-live
06
Go live

Rollout to Live Operations

The system is rolled out and the factory moves to live operations, with the TDS team alongside during the transition. The timeline is planned around your scope.

Fast Implementation Process

Stage 07 · Change management & user adoption

Implementation succeeds because of people

Success depends on people, processes, leadership and execution, not technology alone.

Understanding the new process

Helping teams see why the work is changing and what it means for their role.

User adoption

Training and hands-on support until people use the system with confidence.

Management involvement

Leaders who set direction and support their teams through the change.

Moving on from old ways

A managed transition from paper, spreadsheets and habits to connected work.

08
Ongoing support

Support that continues after go-live

Support is available under an AMC (annual maintenance contract) or a SaaS (software as a service) subscription. As your requirements change, TDS can keep adjusting processes, reports and the system to match how you operate.

  • AMC / SaaS support
  • System maintenance
  • Operational support
  • Continued system improvement
Expert Support Team

Every implementation starts with a conversation about your factory.
