Your potential engagement models

We offer two commercial models to match your different procurement strategies and risk preferences.

Time & material

A classic consulting and implementation engagement, based on actual effort. Ideal for clients who prefer full transparency and control over scope and delivery.

Success-based

Billing is based on a share of the actual savings realised post-implementation in the first months. This model reduces upfront investment risk as costs only occur when measurable results are delivered.
