Kit deployed, right first time. Large-scale, time-boxed rollouts across sites, to one methodology.

What we’ll cover.
The proposition
Deployed right, first time.
A rollout across many sites is only as good as its weakest install.
We make every site identical: planned, staged, deployed and proven to one standard.
At scale
Hundreds of devices across many sites, without the quality drifting site to site.
One methodology
A single repeatable way of working. No variations, no surprises.
Proven per site
Every device tested and validated before we call the site done.
Deployment/by stage
What we deploy.
The same four stages on every rollout, whatever its size,
and the same things delivered at each one. Hover or click a stage to bring it forward.
Plan & schedule
Stage & configure
Deploy at scale
Test & handover
The rollout
Plan, stage, ship, install, test, handover.
Hover to pause. Click a stage to jump.
Plan
The run sheet
Every site works from the same sheet.
The same steps, in the same order, at the first site and at the last. Click a step to see the evidence it captures.
Asset record
Example run sheet. The steps are agreed with you before the first wave, then they do not change.
The programme
Six waves, six weeks.
An illustrative programme at the scale of the rollout on the proof slide: 300 sites, six waves, one wave a week.
Illustrative programme, built from the figures on the proof slide. Real wave sizes are set by your access windows and change freezes.
The status board
You see every site, every day.
Progress by site and by day, the exceptions as they happen, and what is being done about each one. Click a status to filter.
| Site | Wave | Status | Evidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Site 041 | Wave 1 | Complete | 14 photographs, test pack | Signed off on site |
| Site 062 | Wave 2 | Complete | 14 photographs, test pack | Signed off on site |
| Site 094 | Wave 2 | Complete | 16 photographs, test pack | Signed off on site |
| Site 106 | Wave 3 | In progress | 11 photographs so far | Cabinet in, patching under way |
| Site 118 | Wave 3 | In progress | 6 photographs so far | Team on site, install under way |
| Site 127 | Wave 3 | Exception | Held at step 04 | Power to the comms position not live, electrician booked for Thursday |
| Site 147 | Wave 3 | Exception | Held at step 02 | Two units short on the delivery, replacements on the next van |
| Site 168 | Wave 4 | Scheduled | Awaiting install | Access window confirmed with the site |
| Site 232 | Wave 5 | Scheduled | Awaiting install | Kit staged, delivery booked for week 5 |
Example screen, showing nine of the 300 sites. Site references and notes are illustrative.
Consistency
Site 001 and site 200.
Two sites, three weeks apart, built to the same drawing. Pick a checkpoint to see what is identical.
Example cabinet elevations. Site references are illustrative.
Scale it
How big is the estate?
Drag the slider. The indicative shape of a rollout at your scale.
Illustrative planning figures. Every engagement is scoped properly before we commit numbers, and real programmes are built around your windows, access and change freezes.
Why consistency wins
The 200th site, as good as the first.
The last site gets the same preparation, the same sheet and the same reporting as the first.
Staged upstream
Config and failures dealt with in our facility. Site visits become short, predictable and boring. Boring is the goal.
Run sheets, not folklore
Every site works from the same run sheet, photographed at the same checkpoints. Drift can't hide.
Live reporting
You see progress by site, by day: greens, ambers, and what we're doing about the ambers.
Proof/redacted
300 sites, six weeks, one standard.
A retail group needed edge infrastructure replaced across its whole estate
inside a change-freeze window, every branch, no misses.
Client identifiers withheld; figures rounded.
On site
The same standard, whatever the postcode.
On-site leads at every location, one methodology, one quality bar.
Who we are
Where our engineers have worked.
Why Optronix
Engineers proven at hyperscale.
Our teams have deployed at the scale where consistency is everything.
That discipline goes into every rollout, whatever the size:
stage first, install to one methodology, prove every unit.
One owner, every wave
A single project manager across every site and every wave, and one plan everyone works to.
Nothing ships untested
Kit pre-built, imaged and tested in our facility, so site time is install-only.
Engineers from critical estates
Our engineers have worked for Microsoft, Google, AWS, JPMorgan Chase and Jane Street, among others, and they bring the same method to a multi-site rollout.

Next step
Send us the site list.
We’ll plan the waves.
A site list, the kit going in and your change windows are enough to start. We will come back with a wave plan, an example run sheet and an outline programme.
