ACHORD services architecture blueprint

From diagnosis to handover, in three steps.

Founder-led, start to finish

We start with a fixed-scope diagnostic, build the first working solution with your team, and then hand everything over to you.

The two founders lead every engagement. The CTO designs the architecture and leads the engineering. For a sprint, the founders select and lead a senior team that can include trusted outside engineers. There are no junior analysts and no slide-deck consulting.

Three steps

Architecture Diagnostic (10 Business Days)

A structured review of your ERP, CRM and custom systems: data flows, schema bottlenecks, slow interfaces and manual workarounds. You get a one-page target architecture and a gap analysis, not a 100-page slide deck.

Diagnostic details and deliverables

On-Site Engineering Sprint (3 to 6 Weeks)

The founders select and lead a senior engineering team, including trusted outside engineers, that works on site with your team. Together we build the first production data bridge next to your live systems, without downtime.

Handoff & Team Enablement (Ongoing, by agreement)

You own everything we build: code, schemas and pipelines move to your IT team. We train your engineers on the new system until they can run and change it without us.

Each step in detail

Architecture Diagnostic

We review your live systems in a structured way. The CTO leads the review of your ERP, CRM and custom databases to find hidden bottlenecks, undocumented batch jobs and places where data is copied or lost.

You do not get a long slide deck. You get a one-page target architecture and a measured list of interface delays. Your leadership can use it at once to decide what to fix first.

DELIVERABLES
  • Data flow and schema bottleneck map
  • Interface latency and integration issue inventory
  • One-page target architecture
  • Risk matrix and modernization sequence for leadership

Example target architectures

Typical problems by industry and the target architecture we design for each. These are design targets, not results from past projects.

Manufacturing & Chemical Processing

TYPICAL PROBLEM //

Reconciliation runs in overnight batches, recipes live in spreadsheets, and production numbers are not verified.

DESIGN TARGET //

Streaming events from the shop floor, automatic batch genealogy, and a direct PLC/MES integration.

TYPICAL PLATFORMS // SAP S/4HANA · Siemens Opcenter · MQTT / Kafka · SCADA

Supply Chain & Global Logistics

TYPICAL PROBLEM //

Warehouses sync to the ERP with a delay, buffers are kept in spreadsheets, and stock shows as available when it is not.

DESIGN TARGET //

One live inventory state for all warehouses, a WMS-to-ERP event bridge, and an automatic dispatch log.

TYPICAL PLATFORMS // SAP S/4HANA SCM · Manhattan WMS · Blue Yonder · Telematics

Regulated Financial Services & Fintech

TYPICAL PROBLEM //

Policy data arrives through separate channels, claims are reconciled in spreadsheets, and underwriting handoffs are manual.

DESIGN TARGET //

One shared data model, an automated underwriting rule engine, and an audit trail that cannot be changed.

TYPICAL PLATFORMS // Core Banking / Insurance · Salesforce Financial Services Cloud

Our commitments

Fixed scope, fixed price

The Architecture Diagnostic has a written scope and one price, agreed before we start. No hourly billing and no surprise extensions.

No per-user license fees

We build on open standards and your existing platforms. You do not pay us a recurring fee for each user of the system.

The founders lead every engagement

The founders run every engagement themselves. The CTO designs the architecture and leads the engineering work. Outside engineers join only when the founders select them, and the founders remain responsible for their work.

You own all source code, schemas and data. You can continue without us at any time.
