An implementation needs clear ownership on both the office and shop floor.
Software Implementation Roles in a Cabinet ShopAn implementation needs clear ownership on both the office and shop floor. The project is not complete when accounts are created. Someone must define records, resolve exceptions, train users, and decide when the new process becomes authoritative.
A hypothetical vendor imports item data, but no one in the shop confirms units or duplicate specifications. The technical import succeeds while operational accuracy remains unresolved. Assign the validation role before the migration begins.
Check that users can complete normal work and corrections without the project lead doing everything for them. That is stronger evidence of readiness than a training attendance list.
Bring one representative cabinet job to a Millbase demonstration. Follow the project and its recorded costs, inspect the inventory workflow, and review live floor activity. Ask the person who will use each screen to perform the task and check the resulting record.
Ask the Millbase AI agent a question grounded in your workspace records. For example: “For this project, compare estimated and actual labour and show the workers and workstations behind the total.” You can select a project or worker, ask follow-up questions, and request supported reports and CSV exports.
Check the result against the same project records and try a follow-up question. Confirm any required integration, import, export, or specialist planning workflow during the demonstration rather than inferring it from the software category.

A small rollout may have one coordinator, but the affected roles still need to contribute and validate their workflows.
Assign that decision to the accountable business owner using agreed reconciliation and readiness criteria.
