Trial Plan | CFM

Choosing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is one of the biggest decisions a cigar factory makes. It affects how you track tobacco, calculate payroll, manage work-in-progress, control quality, and—ultimately—see your profits. This is too important to guess about. That's why we offer a Trial Plan—a limited-time, full-featured evaluation of CFM tailored to your specific factory.

What's Included in Your Trial Plan

You get access to the full CFM platform, not a watered-down demo. This includes:

Production Planning & Scheduling (plan orders, track WIP, monitor daily schedules)
Tobacco Inventory Control (track leaf from warehouse to rolling table, monitor blends, manage waste)
Automated Payroll System (register cigars, calculate wages, apply bonuses automatically)
Work-in-Progress (WIP) Tracking (see every cigar in real time, trace to production stage)
Quality Control & Inspection (define quality rules, track defects, manage adjustments)
Finished Goods & Warehouse (bundle, pack, manage inventory, track shipments)
Mobile App (employee registration, shift tracking, real-time updates on phones or tablets)
Analytics & Reporting (production dashboards, payroll summaries, labor KPIs, cost analysis)
User Management (manage teams, set permissions, secure admin controls)

Factory-Specific Setup: It's Your System, Not a Template

This is not a generic cloud app. During your trial, we configure CFM specifically for your factory:

Your department structure (rolling, packing, quality, warehouse, etc.)
Your tobacco varieties and how they blend
Your vitola catalog (sizes, wrapper types, complexity levels)
Your payroll structure (rates per cigar, rates per vitola, bonuses, deductions)
Your warehouse layout and inventory categories
Your team structure (employees, roles, permissions, shift schedules)

This customization is built into every trial from day one.

Live Data Testing: See Real Numbers, Not Demo Data

This is a working MVP, not a demo playground. You test with:

Your actual employees (imported from HR records or manually added)
Your real tobacco inventory (current stock, warehouse locations)
Your pending orders (with realistic targets and deadlines)
Your production schedule (one week of real operations)

Your teams use the mobile app to register cigars just like they would in production. You see the results in real payroll, real inventory updates, and real KPIs.

Dedicated Onboarding Support

You don't figure this out alone. During your trial, you get:

Initial setup meeting (define your configuration, map departments, import employee data)
Team training (hands-on demos for your teams, mobile app training, troubleshooting)
Weekly check-ins (monitor progress, adjust settings, answer questions)
Priority email & phone support (guaranteed response within 24 hours)
Customization support (small adjustments to payroll rules, reports, or workflows as you learn)

What You Can Validate During Your Trial

By the end of your trial, you'll have concrete answers to:

Does production planning feel easier with a clear schedule visible to all teams?
Can you track tobacco consumption and reduce waste?
Is payroll calculated faster and with zero errors?
Can you see the true cost per cigar, per vitola, and per employee?
Do your teams adopt the mobile app quickly?
Is CFM the right fit for your factory's long-term growth?

Trial Duration & Flexibility

Standard trial period: 30–60 days, depending on your factory size and complexity.

Need more time to test? We can extend. Already confident after two weeks? Move to full implementation sooner. The trial is flexible—we adjust to your timeline.

What Happens After Your Trial

You have three paths forward:

Full Implementation: Move to our full subscription plan and scale CFM across your entire operation.
Custom Development: Need specific customizations or integrations? Our development team builds them into your implementation.
No Commitment: If CFM isn't the right fit, you can step back with no penalties. All your data is exported.

Why Trial Plan Makes Sense for Your Factory

MES is not a generic tool—it's the foundation of how your factory runs. That's why the Trial Plan focuses on your specific reality:

Test with Real Data—No surprises later. You see how CFM works with your actual employees, tobacco, orders, and payroll structure.
Get Team Buy-In—When your teams use the app and see it works, they adopt faster.
Identify Real ROI—Calculate payroll savings, labor cost per unit, and efficiency gains in your exact context.
Mitigate Risk—You move forward only when you're confident. There's no guessing.
Build a Real Foundation—Your configuration during the trial becomes the foundation for full implementation. No starting over.

A factory's growth depends on making smart decisions about how you manage production, tobacco, payroll, and people. The Trial Plan gives you the information and confidence to make the right choice for your business.
