How to read this estimate
Annual hours = weekly hours × working weeks × recoverable share. Annual value = recovered hours × hourly cost. Payback = initial investment ÷ monthly value after recurring costs.
This simulation measures work capacity, not guaranteed cash savings. It assumes full adoption and steady benefits. It excludes ramp-up, financing, taxes and costs you have not entered. Actual scope, pricing and results must be confirmed after assessment.

- Approval
- ERP updated
An example workflow to adapt to your facility.
Connect what you already have
A clear path between your tools.
ERP, CRM, Excel, Microsoft 365, forms or internal software: we assess available interfaces and data quality before selecting an integration. APIs, file exchanges or a custom application are chosen to fit your constraints.
- ERP / CRM
- Excel / files
- Microsoft 365
- Business applications
- Defined roles and access
- Operation logs
- Alerts and exception handling
- Documentation and handover
Our work covers software, data and business procedures. Machine control, PLC programming and equipment safety require a separate scope and dedicated specialists.
02 / Practical business systems experience
Modernizing an ERP starts with understanding what is there.
Our HydroSolution case study covers reverse engineering of an existing system, modernization with .NET and Angular, and deployment automation.
Software modernization experience relevant to connecting your operations. Your project’s benefits will be assessed using your own data.

One process. Measurable results. Then the next step.
Your team knows the work. We build a usable tool with them and plan deployment around your operating constraints.
- 01
Map the process
We review the workflow, exceptions, tools and access. Together, we choose a priority process and establish a baseline.
Deliverable: a defined scope and priced proposal.
- 02
Test a pilot
A small group validates screens, data exchanges and rules. Error handling and manual recovery are part of the tests.
Deliverable: a pilot and acceptance criteria.

Deploy and measure
We prepare launch, training and documentation. Follow-up compares results with objectives and guides the next improvements.
Deliverable: the tool, documentation and support plan.
Common questions
Answers before you begin.
Which industrial process should we automate first?
A frequent, stable and measurable task is often a useful starting point: production reporting, quality checks, maintenance requests or purchase approvals. We also review exceptions, data availability and system access to choose a realistic pilot.
Do we need to replace our ERP or Excel files?
Not necessarily. We assess what can be kept and connected. Available APIs, exports and imports, licences and data quality determine the approach. Compatibility is confirmed after this review, never assumed.
How much does a project cost and how long does it take?
Cost and timing depend on the workflow, interfaces, data cleanup and security requirements. After scoping, the proposal defines the pilot, deliverables, milestones and any recurring fees. The calculator shows a potential benefit scenario, not a price quote.
Can our teams use the tool on the floor?
We adapt workflows to actual devices and conditions: desktop, tablet or phone, connectivity, gloves or shared workstations. Any offline requirement must be defined and tested within the project scope.
How do you protect data and operational continuity?
We define access rights, logs, backups and recovery scenarios according to the scope. A pilot, validation with your responsible teams and a gradual rollout plan help prepare the transition and exception handling.
Do you work on PLCs, robots or machines?
This offer covers workflow automation, applications and data exchanges. Real-time control, PLC programming and machine safety are not included. Any interface with those environments is scoped with the relevant specialists.
Do you work with businesses outside Montreal?
Yes. Our Montreal-based team collaborates in English and French with businesses across Quebec and Canada. Remote workshops, working hours and any on-site requirements are agreed during scoping.
04 / Start with your day-to-day work
Which procedure is taking too much time?
Describe a task, the tools you use and the outcome you want. We can assess the starting point and the information needed to prepare a proposal.
- The task and how often it occurs
- Your current software and files
- The people involved and your timeline
