How We Engage

Buy certainty in increments —
not a transformation program.

Every phase ends with concrete deliverables, measured results, and an explicit go/no-go decision. You never commit to the next step before the current one has proven itself.

The Path

Four phases. Three decision gates. Zero lock-in.

Step 0

minutes

Scoping Session

A working session with your team to identify where a take-back program creates the most value first.

Step 1

weeks

AI-Scoped Program Design

A packaged, costed program concept for your assets — a 2-week scoping sprint, built on your asset and recycling data.

Step 2

8–12

weeks

GO / NO-GO GATE

Proof-of-Value Pilot

An 8–12 week pilot with success measures agreed upfront — live orders with your existing contractors, nobody gets replaced.

Step 3

6–36

months

DECISION-GATED SCALE

Take-Back-as-a-Service

We design, launch, and operate your take-back program — expanded per business unit, asset type, and material stream.

Accountability

Agreed together in Step 1 — measured before you scale.

≤ 5d

Operator onboarding — from invite to first processed order

≥90%

Routing accuracy into approved R-strategies and facilities

≥ 40%

Reduction in coordination overhead across parties

≥ 95%

Documentation completeness at every handoff

These are the default pilot targets. We calibrate them with you in Step 1, publish the agreed set before Step 2 starts, and check against them at the Step 2 gate — if we miss the mark, you have your no-go.

What It Takes

What we'll ask for during scoping — and what you avoid.

What we'll ask for during scoping

A named program owner (ops, procurement, or sustainability)
Asset and volume data for the pilot scope — estimates are fine, our scoping engine handles uncertainty
Introduction to the contractors already handling your end-of-life assets
30 minutes to start. That's it.

What you avoid

No ERP replacement — we orchestrate alongside SAP & existing systems
No contractor switching — your partners stay, they just get connected
No multi-year commitment before proof — every phase is separately decided
No IT project — operators onboard in days, not quarters

Co-funding options exist for qualifying programs — we'll flag eligibility during scoping.

Common Questions

Common questions

Do we have to replace our existing recyclers or logistics partners?

No — that's the core of our neutrality principle. We connect and govern your existing network; we don't compete with it or replace it. Your contractors get onboarded to the platform and keep their role.

How does this integrate with SAP / our ERP?

ContainerGrid runs as the orchestration layer alongside your ERP. Asset and order data flow via standard interfaces; your ERP remains the system of record for finance. Nothing is ripped out.

What does a pilot cost?

Pilot investment depends on scope (asset classes, regions, number of operators) and is quantified in your Step 1 business case — including available co-funding routes. Most programs are structured to be self-funding from the value they recover.

What happens to our data?

Each party sees exactly what their role requires — permissioned access based on role. Program data belongs to the program owner. We operate under GDPR and support enterprise data-handling reviews as part of any pilot.

How fast can operators in our network be onboarded?

The pilot target is ≤5 days from invite to first processed order — measured, not promised. Operator onboarding speed is one of the four default success criteria every pilot is judged against.
