Question 1

What does Velais do?

Accepted Answer

We modernize manufacturers and distributors through ERP implementations, system integrations, and AI. We are not a generic IT consultancy. We don't deal with printers, networks, or computers. We deal with how your company actually works through technology, processes, data, ERP, automation, and AI.

Question 2

What is the Operational Diagnostic?

Accepted Answer

The first step of every Velais engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price, two to three weeks. We map your operational flows, identify where value is leaking, and quantify the impact in concrete economic terms. The deliverable is a complete report with the map of your processes, the issues quantified in dollars, and a prioritized action plan. The report is yours either way.

Question 3

What does a full engagement with Velais look like?

Accepted Answer

Four gated phases: Map (Operational Diagnostic), Implement (Modern ERP Foundation on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central), Connect (data and system integrations), and Extend (AI workflows). Each phase has a clear deliverable agreed upfront. The next phase only starts when the previous is 100% completed. The client commits one phase at a time. We earn the next through results.

Question 4

Which platforms and partners do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Strategic partners include Microsoft (Dynamics 365 Business Central, Azure, Azure OpenAI), Odoo (UAE and Middle East implementations), ElevenLabs (voice and conversational AI), and Anthropic (state-of-the-art language models). Platform choice follows your real workflows and constraints, not vendor relationships.

Question 5

How is the Operational Diagnostic priced?

Accepted Answer

Fixed price by company size. three to four weeks from workshop to report. The price is fully credited if you continue with the implementation phases.

Question 6

Can you work with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We map what you have first. If your systems are already in place and extensible, we connect them and organize the data. If your management system can't support the issues we found, we implement a modern ERP (typically Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central). If your problem requires something off-the-shelf can't cover, we build it.

Question 7

How quickly can we see results?

Accepted Answer

The Diagnostic itself takes two to three weeks, and the first economic impact estimates land inside that window. Implementation timelines depend on scope. Our flagship engagement ran from Diagnostic to confirmed annual P&L impact in under six months.

Question 8

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Reach out via the contact form or email team@velais.com. We typically begin with the Operational Diagnostic: a fixed-price, fixed-scope diagnostic that gives you a quantified roadmap before any larger investment.
