Demo tips
Practical ways to get value from the Data Board demo in the first days — without boiling the ocean.
Demo only. New registrations are paused. View demo
Tip 1 — Start with pain, not process
If your team already drowns in parallel jobs, don’t design a perfect workflow first.
Import (or type) the messy real list: active jobs, owners, rough status. Clarity beats templates.
Tip 2 — Limit the pilot circle
Add people who feel the pain daily:
- Engineering / project leads
- Ops or capacity planners
- One shop-floor or commissioning lead if they own “who’s free”
Expand after the board is trusted — not before.
Tip 3 — One question every stand-up
Use the board to answer only this:
Can we take another job without breaking the ones already running?
If the board can’t answer that in under a minute, simplify fields — don’t add more.
Tip 4 — Kill duplicate status channels
Pick one rule for the pilot:
- Status lives in Data Board
- Slack/email = decisions and exceptions only
Parallel status channels kill adoption faster than missing features.
Tip 5 — Name overload out loud
When capacity is red, say it in the tool and in the room.
The demo is the right time to pressure-test honest capacity — not to hide overload in a spreadsheet only three people open.
Tip 6 — Give feedback early
We’re a small team, based in Switzerland. Feedback shapes what we build next.
If something blocks your plant / mechatronics workflow, tell us — short and concrete beats long feature lists.
Tip 7 — Don’t wait for a paid plan
There is nothing to buy on this site. Use the demo on a real multi-job program only with data that is not real. New registrations are paused.
