Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Got questions? Good. That means you’re thinking this through!
Here’s what most people want to know before they build their Launchpad.
Think of it as your step-by-step playbook for getting Business Central up and running quickly and efficiently! It includes Microsoft-aligned structure, guidance, and training to make sure it actually sticks with your whole team.
Traditional ERP projects are famous for going over budget, over timeline, and over everyone’s patience. Launchpad flips that with fixed-price packages, defined scope, and a clear framework from day one. You always know what you’re getting and what it’s going to cost.
Launchpad is a great fit for startups, growing SMBs, and distribution companies that want a real plan without signing up for a full consulting engagement. If you like structure but hate surprises, you’re going to love this. Not sure if it’s right for you? Take the quiz!
Not always! Launchpad is a self-guided framework where you get to pick what you need to succeed. Your team can own the execution in the Self-Led option, or if you’d rather have us take the wheel, our Consultant-Led option is built for that. Either way, you’re covered!
Yep! Whether you’re doing it yourself or bringing in our consultants, Launchpad works either way. Same framework, same best practices, but you just choose how much help comes with it.
You don’t need to be a developer, but having someone on your team who’s comfortable learning new software goes a long way. The Self-Led path is designed for business users, not IT pros. And if things get technical, that’s what your Success Plan is there for.
That depends on which path you choose and how many add-on packages you include. The Consultant-Led path is built for speed with a predictable timeline. The Self-Led path moves at your team’s pace. Either way, Launchpad is designed to keep things moving, and not drag on forever.
Data migration is your team’s responsibility, but you’re not totally on your own. Launchpad gives you the guidance and templates you need to make it as painless as possible.
All support runs through your TruNorth Success Plan which means the level of help you get depends on the tier you choose. More plan = more access. It’s how we keep things fair, predictable, and priced right for your situation.
Absolutely. Launchpad is built to grow with you. Start with what you need today and layer on more as your business evolves. No need to re-implement!.
No shame in that! It happens! You can upgrade your Success Plan or chat with us about adding consultant support at any point. We’d rather you ask for help early than suffer in silence.
Go-live is the beginning, not the finish line. Once you’re live, your Success Plan kicks in to keep things running smoothly with ongoing support, optimization, and guidance based on the tier you selected. The party doesn’t stop at launch!
