A rollout engineered for the reality ofdrone manufacturing.
We start by understanding how your assembly line actually runs — not by configuring a system. We find where margin leaks, which data is critical, and where faster decisions matter most.
From a process workshop toa working operational system
A phased approach that minimizes risk, launches the critical processes fast, and grows the system in step with how your organization actually works.
01Operations discovery
We learn your operating model
We map your programs and contract types, how orders are generated, how configurations are planned, how requirements are calculated, and how assembly, test, logistics and cost control run today.
What we cover
Program typesOrder sourcesCut-offsVariantsBOMsFacilitiesFlight test sitesDelivery lotsManual touchpoints
Stage outputA process map, implementation priorities and a list of the areas where the system will deliver the biggest operational gain.
02Process workshops
We design the target production workflow
We translate the team's daily work into a target system process — defining the data sources for production, freeze points, who can make corrections, and which operational alerts matter.
Stage outputAn implementation scope card: modules, processes, dependencies, priorities, integrations and the MVP boundaries.
04Configuration & data model
We build the data foundation for the whole organization
In drone production, system quality depends on the quality of master data. We organize components, BOMs, variants, units, sub-assemblies, export-control flags, customers, locations, routes, suppliers and pricing.
What we cover
ComponentsUnits of measureBOMsSub-assembliesVariantsExport controlAirframesFacilitiesContractsCut-offsPlantsWorkstationsSuppliersPurchasing rules
Stage outputA coherent database that feeds orders, production, purchasing, logistics and reporting with no duplicated information.
05Module implementation
We launch modules around the real process, not a feature list
Each module is deployed in the context of the operational team that uses it, with an interface designed for the role — planner, production manager, design engineer, purchasing, customer service, logistics or program customer.
Stage outputOne flow of data across sales, operations, production, purchasing and finance.
07Operational testing
We test the system on real production-day scenarios
Beyond clicking through screens, we validate the full path — from an order and a post cut-off change through requirement recalculation, component availability, production planning, assembly, flight test, delivery and final reporting.
What we cover
Order completenessCorrectionsReplanningComponent shortagesDelaysSubstitutionsKitting errorsClaimsSLAReport exportsBilling data
Stage outputA system ready to run on real volumes and operational exceptions.
08Team training
We train roles, not just users
Context-specific training for each operational role — planner, design engineer, production, quality, purchasing, warehouse, logistics, controlling, operations manager and administrator.
Stage outputEach team knows not just where to click, but how the system supports its operational responsibility.
09Go-live
We launch in a controlled way, stage by stage
A controlled rollout that protects production continuity — launching by a specific plant, airframe line, contract or process.
What we cover
Plant pilotProgram pilotParallel runPhasing out spreadsheetsLocation rollout
Stage outputThe system starts handling the real operational process, with support for the team through the first cycles.
10Post-launch optimization
After go-live we analyze the data and improve the process
The biggest value appears once the system starts collecting data from daily work. We analyze variances, delays, scrap, shortages, claims, contract profitability and production load.
What we cover
Production planningReworkScrapComponent usageOn-time deliveryData qualityMarginLabor efficiency
Stage outputINVO becomes not just an operational system, but a tool for continuously improving profitability and quality.

Why this process works
We don't implement a system next to operations. We implement it at the center of them.
An operations platform for drone makers has to match reality — variable orders, tight cut-offs, time pressure, component lead times, many variants, lot-based production and manual exceptions. Our process is rooted in operational data, roles and decisions.
An industry data model
Components, BOMs, variants, sub-assemblies, export-control flags, build counts, cut-offs, kitting, deliveries and SLA — integrated from the start.
BOM → quantities → export flag → assembly → test
Built around the production process
Planning, purchasing, production and logistics are designed as one workflow, not separate modules.
Plan → requirement → purchasing → production → release
Exception control
The system accounts for post cut-off corrections, data gaps, delays, replanning, claims and volume changes.
Variant change after cut-off → comment → history → alert to production
Roles & accountability
Every decision has an owner — planner, design engineer, production manager, purchasing, warehouse, logistics, customer service or operations manager.
Every action tied to a role and a process owner
Audit & change history
The system logs who changed what, when and why — critical for claims, AS9100 audits, billing and quality control.
