Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with Process First Solutions

No. We use a combination of affordable tools, AI services, and custom automation. Most solutions cost $50-200/month total, not thousands. We focus on ROI - if the savings don't justify the cost, we don't recommend it.

That's exactly why we focus on simple, practical solutions. We design everything to be as easy as sending an email or using a smartphone. Our training is hands-on and we don't move forward until your team is comfortable. If it's too complicated, we simplify it.

Most clients see time savings within 2-4 weeks of implementation. Full ROI typically happens within 3-6 months. For example, if we save you 15 hours/week at $50/hour loaded cost, that's $3,000/month in savings. A $15,000 implementation pays for itself in 5 months.

Absolutely. That's why we have three tiers. Start with an Assessment ($3,500) to see what's possible. Then do one Pilot Implementation to prove it works. Many clients start with one automation and expand as they see results. There's no pressure to commit to everything at once.

We specialize in job shops and custom manufacturers: custom door builders, metal fabricators, machine shops, woodworking, and specialty contractors. If you do project-based or custom work (not mass production), we can help. The processes we automate (quoting, scheduling, inventory) are similar across all these industries.

No. Assessments and Implementations are one-time projects with no ongoing commitment. The Partnership tier is typically 6-12 months, but we can go month-to-month after the initial period. If you're not seeing value, you can stop anytime.
