KINETIQ LAUNCH

KINETIQ Launch — One Use Case. Production Ready. Proven ROI with Microsoft Fabric.

KINETIQ Launch is a pilot built differently — starting from a defined use case, proven business case, and validated architecture, and ending with a production-ready system on Microsoft Fabric that delivers measurable impact from day one.

Built by supply chain specialists with proprietary frameworks and proven Fabric IP — so the system we deliver isn't just fast. It's built to last.

What Most Pilots Get Wrong

Most Pilots Don't Fail in Delivery. They Fail Before They Begin.

The reason most pilots don't make it to production isn't the technology — it's the setup.
KINETIQ Launch starts where KINETIQ Blueprint ends — with a defined use case, proven ROI, and validated architecture — and builds from there using proprietary delivery frameworks and pre-built Fabric IP purpose-built for supply chain.

Most Pilots Are Built to Demo. Not to Deploy.

Pilots scoped around impressive outputs rarely survive contact with real data, real users, and real operational complexity. Without production-readiness built in from the start, deployment becomes a separate project — one that often never happens.

A Pilot Without Measurable ROI Proves Nothing Worth Funding.

Without a clear link to business value, pilots become easy targets when budgets tighten or priorities shift. A compelling demo is not the same as a defensible return on investment.

Speed to Production Isn't a Nice-to-Have. It's a Competitive Imperative.

The right pilot isn't just a test — it's a launchpad. Designed from the start to reach production, prove impact, and create the momentum to expand. That's the difference between a pilot that moves the business forward and one that stays on the shelf.

A PILOT BUILT TO SUCCEED

Built to Prove Value. Designed to Survive Contact With the Business.

KINETIQ Launch takes one defined use case and builds it into a production-ready system on Microsoft Fabric — scoped around a real business outcome, validated at every step, and designed to prove impact rather than potential.

One Use Case. Fully Scoped. Delivered Into Production.

Launch is deliberately narrow by design. One use case, clearly scoped, with defined success criteria and a single finish line — a working system in production that the business can operate on from day one.

88%
of AI POCs never reach production — for every 33 pilots launched, only 4 graduate to operational deployment.

Impact You Can Measure. Not a Demo You Can Show.

A compelling demo doesn't justify the next investment. A production system with measurable impact does. Every Launch engagement is scoped around a specific, quantifiable business outcome — so the proof is real, not theoretical.

379%
Average ROI delivered over three years with Microsoft Fabric, with most organizations seeing value in 3-6 months

One Use Case Today. A Platform for Everything That Follows.

Launch is the starting point, not the destination. What we build is architected for extensibility — so the next use case, the next team, and the next capability all build on the same foundation without rework or disruption.

84%
of companies using Microsoft Fabric are already leveraging three or more workloads — once teams start, they quickly expand usage across the business.
WHY KINETIQ LAUNCH

Built to Prove. Designed to Scale.

Most pilots are scoped to demonstrate potential. KINETIQ Launch is scoped to prove it — taking Blueprint's defined use case and building it into a production-ready system on Microsoft Fabric with measurable business impact from day one.

Starts Where KINETIQ Blueprint Ends

Use case, ROI, and architecture are already defined before a line of code is written

No re-scoping, no realignment — day one is focused on building

Blueprint's validated foundation becomes Launch's starting point

No time lost figuring out where to begin

A Production System the Business Can Operate on Immediately.

Deployed directly into your Microsoft Fabric environment — not a sandbox

Built to handle real data, real users, and real operational complexity

Every output validated against the original use case before go-live

Operable, measurable, and expandable from day one

Measurable Impact. Not a Compelling Demo.

Scoped around a specific, quantifiable business outcome from the start

Success criteria defined upfront — revenue, cost, margin, or working capital

Impact measured against the baseline established in Blueprint

If it can't be tied to a measurable outcome, it doesn't belong in scope

Fixed Scope. Fixed Investment. Clear Outcomes.

One use case with clearly defined boundaries, deliverables, and success criteria

Fixed investment aligned to a defined outcome — no open-ended billing

Every milestone visible, agreed upon, and validated throughout delivery

No surprises — the business knows what it's getting, what it costs, and when

Architecture That Scales Beyond the First Use Case.

Data models, pipelines, and architecture built for extensibility from day one

No rework required when the next use case is ready to build

Designed to support real-time intelligence, automation, and agentic workflows

What gets built in Launch doesn't just prove value — it compounds it

From Blueprint to Production.
In 13 Weeks.

1-2 Weeks

Kickoff & Alignment

We pick up Blueprint's validated outputs — use case, ROI case, and target architecture — and align on data access, success criteria, and delivery priorities. The build starts with everything already defined.

2-10 Weeks

Build

We develop the data models, pipelines, and workflows on Microsoft Fabric — building directly against the use case and success criteria defined in Blueprint, with continuous validation throughout.

10-13 Weeks

Deploy & Validate

We push the system into production and validate it against Blueprint's original ROI case. Real data. Real users. Real operational complexity. The system is live and measurable impact is confirmed.

13+ Weeks

Scale

The use case is live and the value is proven. Expanding from here — into additional use cases, capabilities, and workflows — requires a longer-term partnership commitment. This is where the real compounding begins.

KINETIQ Launch proves what's possible with one use case in production.

What follows — expanding use cases, real-time intelligence, intelligent execution, embedded expertise — requires a longer-term partnership commitment.

We're not here to deliver a pilot and move on. We're here to build something that compounds.

Let's talk about where Launch fits in your broader data and AI journey.

The Hard Questions. Answered Honestly.

Read our FAQs:

What Is Launch, Really?

How is KINETIQ Launch different from a typical pilot engagement?

Most pilot engagements are scoped to demonstrate potential — they're designed to impress, not to operate. KINETIQ Launch is different in three fundamental ways: it starts from Blueprint's validated foundation rather than assumptions, it's built for production from day one rather than adapted for it later, and success is defined by measurable business impact rather than a compelling demo. The result is a pilot that was always designed to survive contact with the business.

Does Launch replace Blueprint, or do I need Blueprint first?

Blueprint is a prerequisite for Launch — and intentionally so. Blueprint defines the use case, quantifies the ROI, and designs the target architecture before any building begins. Launch picks up exactly where Blueprint ends. Without that foundation, Launch would be just another pilot starting from assumptions. With it, day one is focused on building, not figuring out what to build.

De-Risking the Decision

We've invested in pilots before that never made it to production. What makes this different?

The reason most pilots don't make it to production isn't the technology — it's the setup. They start without a defined use case, a quantified business case, or a production-ready architecture. Launch eliminates all three gaps before the first line of code is written. Blueprint defines the problem, proves the ROI, and designs the architecture. Launch builds it — end to end, into production, with validated outputs at every step.

What if the system doesn't deliver the expected impact?

Impact and requirements are defined, scoped, and agreed upon before delivery begins — tied directly to Blueprint's ROI case. We don't move into delivery without clear success criteria. If something isn't tracking against those criteria during delivery, we address it in real time. The continuous validation built into our delivery model means there are no surprises at the end — only a system that performs against what was promised.

Scope and Commitment

How narrowly scoped is Launch? Can we add to it during delivery?

Launch is deliberately narrow — one use case, clearly defined boundaries, and a fixed scope. That narrowness is a feature, not a limitation. It's what makes production in 13 weeks achievable and what keeps the business case defensible. Scope changes mid-delivery introduce the same risks that sink most pilots. If additional use cases surface during Launch, we capture them for what comes next — they don't get folded into the current engagement.

What does our team need to commit to make this work?

Launch requires active engagement from your team — particularly in the Kickoff & Alignment phase. We need confirmed access to your data systems, a dedicated point of contact, and key stakeholders available for validation at each phase. Blueprint will have already done the heavy lifting on alignment — so the commitment during Launch is focused, not open-ended. The more engaged your team is early, the cleaner the delivery.

The Deliverables

What exactly do we walk away with at the end of Launch?

A production-ready system deployed in your Microsoft Fabric environment — built around the use case Blueprint defined, validated against the ROI Blueprint quantified, and ready for your team to operate on from day one. That includes the data models, pipelines, operational workflows, and reporting layer the use case requires. Not a prototype. Not a proof of concept. A working system the business can use immediately.

How do you ensure the system is actually usable by our team — not just technically functional?

Usability is built into the delivery model, not bolted on at the end. We validate outputs with your team throughout delivery — not just at the finish line. The system is built around how your team actually works, with the operational context, decision logic, and workflows they need to act on what it surfaces. A technically functional system that nobody uses isn't a success. We don't ship until it's both.

Fit and Flexibility

What if we don't have Blueprint yet? Can we still start with Launch?

Blueprint is a prerequisite — and for good reason. Starting Launch without Blueprint means starting without a defined use case, a quantified ROI, or a validated architecture. That's exactly the setup that causes most pilots to fail. If you don't have Blueprint yet, that's the right place to start. It's a 6-8 week engagement that gives Launch everything it needs to succeed.

Can Launch work with our existing data infrastructure, or does everything need to be on Fabric?

Launch is built on Microsoft Fabric — and we use OneLake Shortcuts and Mirroring to connect your existing systems without forcing a rip-and-replace. Your ERP, WMS, TMS, and other data sources stay where they are. We bring them into Fabric for the use case at hand, without disrupting what's already running. No rip-and-replace. No operational disruption.

What Comes After Launch

What happens once the system is in production?

Launch ends with a working system, validated impact, and a clear view of what comes next. Expanding beyond the first use case — into additional workflows, real-time intelligence, and agentic execution — requires a longer-term partnership commitment. We'll present the results, align on what the data tells us about where to go next, and transition into that partnership. We're not here to deliver a pilot and move on.

What does the longer-term partnership look like?

It depends on where you want to go. For organizations ready to scale across the data estate, KINETIQ Foundation or Vanguard is typically the right next step. For those who want to expand specific capabilities — real-time intelligence, orchestration, or ongoing optimization — Watchtower, Orchestrate, or Operate may be the better fit. What we don't do is a series of one-off engagements. The relationship that follows Launch is structured, committed, and designed to compound the value of what Launch proves.

Why KINETIQ

Why should we choose KINETIQ to deliver Launch?

Most firms can run a pilot. Few can deliver a production system in 13 weeks on a narrowly scoped use case, starting from a validated foundation, with measurable impact built into the definition of success. We bring deep supply chain domain expertise, proprietary delivery frameworks, pre-built Fabric IP, and a delivery model built around production — not demonstration. We've done this before, in this industry, on this platform. That's not a marketing claim. It's why Blueprint graduates choose us to build what they've already validated.

What makes Microsoft Fabric the right platform for Launch?

Fabric is where data, analytics, and operational intelligence converge in a single environment — without the complexity and cost of maintaining multiple platforms. For supply chain specifically, that means one place to bring in your ERP, WMS, and TMS data, one place to build the models and workflows the use case requires, and one platform that scales as the use case expands. The first production win on Fabric becomes the foundation every subsequent one builds on — without rework or disruption.
