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.

    01

    Plan & schedule

    Scoped to the estateSites, volumes and windows planned so the rollout is predictable, not chaotic.
    One ownerA single project manager across every site and every wave.

    Deploy at scale

    04

    Test & handover

    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.

      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.

      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

      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.

      Sites in the rollout
       parallel install teams, typical
      one marker per team on the road
       weeks to complete, typical
      one block per week of the programme
       devices proven working before sign-off
      one site, eight devices

      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.

      01

      Staged upstream

      Config and failures dealt with in our facility. Site visits become short, predictable and boring. Boring is the goal.

      02

      Run sheets, not folklore

      Every site works from the same run sheet, photographed at the same checkpoints. Drift can't hide.

      03

      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.

      On site

      The same standard, whatever the postcode.

      On-site leads at every location, one methodology, one quality bar.

      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.
