Before implementing anything, you need to understand which AI opportunities your company really has, which ones are worthwhile and in what order they should be tackled. This is where it all begins.
Most industrial companies start their digital transformation in the wrong place: they buy a tool, hire a vendor or copy what their competitors are doing. The result is investment without return and frustrated teams.
Forecastrax's strategic consulting has one clear goal: to give you a real map of your current situation and a roadmap prioritised by impact and feasibility. No generics. No empty promises.
At the end of the process you know exactly where to invest, where to start and what return to expect. And you can execute it with us or with whoever you choose.
The Caliber Method is our diagnosis and planning framework. Structured, repeatable and adapted to the reality of industrial SMEs.
The company's 3, 5 and 10-year objectives, challenges and strategic lines, before talking about AI. We define the framework (objective → challenges → lines of action) every opportunity will be assessed against.
In-depth interviews with the key person in each area: processes, tools, pain points and day-to-day risks.
One sheet per department with processes, time, tools, data and inefficiencies, plus the business insights we detect, not only automation ones.
AI opportunities added to an interactive dashboard, filterable by challenge and by line of action, including those that cut across departments.
Time-allocation and prioritisation survey: how much time each person spends on each process and what they would prioritise, add or discard outright.
Budget for the selected opportunities, ROI for each one and a roadmap ordered by impact, cost and dependencies. We hand over the final report, the annexes (sheets and opportunity bank) and the updated dashboard.
A complete picture of the company, department by department, measured against leadership's strategic framework.
An interactive dashboard with every AI opportunity detected, validated by the team that does the work every day.
Implementation plan for the selected opportunities, with the budget and ROI of each. Presented in executive format.
Manufacturing, machinery or component companies that want to identify where AI can cut operating costs or improve quality without knowing exactly where to start.
Organisations with their own sales force that want to modernise prospecting, forecasting and quote generation without changing their entire technology stack.
Managers and directors who have received plenty of digital transformation proposals and want an honest diagnosis, with real numbers and recommendations that can actually be executed.
