Proof of concept                        

Demonstrate solution feasibility

Our Proof of Concept is an opportunity to demonstrate our solution's feasibility.  Using a prepopulated demo environment, you’ll get a deeper understanding of our features and functionality.  Working with a Cru Consultant, you’ll supply a cut of data so we can provide insights on how our optimisation engine can help improve the efficiency of your business and processes.

Proof of value

Tailored specifically to your business

A Cru Software Proof of Value goes beyond demonstrating how a software solution works; it is tailored and configured specifically to your business and data. There is a focus on a business issue or pain point and how the software can solve it. As a result, you will be able to determine if the software fits your business needs and provides the starting point for full implementation.

The Results

We worked with Cru to understand what was really happening within our business. The POC project focused on how we were distributing work packages to our suppliers, and where we could obtain improvements. During the investigation phase, an estimated 12% of activities were found to be misaligned. After running the schedule optimisation we achieved a reduction of visits by 9%, with some larger sites achieving a 23% improvement to the alignment of activities.
