Know what you're buying before you buy software
Most transformation programmes don't fail because the wrong software was chosen. They fail because the order was wrong. We help you see that order before the money goes out.
Who this is for
- Companies that know they need to change but not where to begin
- Organisations that bought software nobody uses
- Businesses with disconnected systems and numbers that don't agree
Scope of work
- Review of current processes and systems
- Separating the real bottlenecks from the imagined ones
- A phased roadmap with priorities and cost estimates
- Buy-versus-build advice for each piece
- Support through delivery — we don't hand over a report and disappear
Process
Typical timeline: 4–6 weeks for the consulting phase

What this service is
Digital transformation consulting helps a business figure out which part of its operations to digitize first, prioritized by how much manual time it currently costs rather than digitizing everything at once. Cluvix starts with discovery of the current process, which usually surfaces gaps between the process on paper and how staff actually work, then proposes a roadmap in three-to-six-month phases, each phase putting one specific system or module into real use rather than stopping at a plan document. This differs from selling one fixed piece of software: Cluvix might recommend buying an existing product, integrating a legacy system, or building new depending on the problem, without pushing its own product where it doesn't fit. It suits businesses with several departments running on disconnected tools, where leadership needs the full picture before deciding where to invest first.
How it compares to other options
Compared to having an internal team assess and plan the transformation, an outside consultant brings a more objective view since it isn't shaped by internal relationships or years-old habits, and carries experience from watching similar businesses in the same industry hit the same problems. The upfront consulting cost is an added investment compared to doing it in-house, but it usually pays off by avoiding investment in the wrong system that doesn't solve the actual core problem. Compared to hiring a pure strategy consulting firm with no technical delivery capability, Cluvix can directly build or integrate systems after the consulting phase, avoiding a thick strategy report nobody can actually execute. Worth weighing: if a business already knows exactly what system it needs and just needs it built, it can skip the consulting phase and go straight to custom software development.
What drives cost & timeline
Number of departments to survey
Surveying more departments with different processes — warehouse, accounting, HR — increases interview and reporting time.
How fragmented the current data is
Data scattered across many spreadsheets and disconnected tools takes more reconciliation time than data already centralized in one system.
Number of options to compare before deciding
Comparing buy-versus-build for each area takes extra market research and cost estimation time per option.
How to choose a partner
Gauge leadership readiness
Transformation needs decision-level involvement throughout, not just handed to IT — without that, the roadmap tends to stall partway through.
List the current biggest time sinks
Prioritize digitizing the bottleneck that costs the most staff hours first, rather than the easy part that has little operational impact.
Budget for multiple phases
A transformation roadmap usually splits into phases, needing budget approved phase by phase rather than one lump sum for everything.
Common risks
Staff resist because they're used to the old way
Digitizing changes work habits built over years, often meeting quiet resistance nobody states outright.
How we handle it: Each phase includes a direct walkthrough with end users before rollout, explaining the concrete benefit to their daily work.
Roadmap is too ambitious for actual resources
Trying to digitize too many departments at once often means none of them get done properly.
How we handle it: The roadmap is split into three-to-six-month phases, each scoped narrowly enough to actually finish before moving to the next.
No way to measure impact after rollout
Without before-and-after metrics, it's hard to prove the investment's value to leadership.
How we handle it: A few concrete measurable metrics, like order processing time, are agreed on before each phase starts, to compare against after rollout.
