What our engineers do

Engineers who ship, not advisors who recommend

Forward Deployed Engineering is hands-on delivery inside your environment. The work is code, connections, and a running system.

01
Build
Workflows, internal tools, and automations written for your process, such as quote handling, order intake, or supplier follow-up.
02
Integrate
Connections between Kingo and your ERP, CRM, email, and data sources, with access agreed with your IT team.
03
Deploy
Release to production, move the team onto it, and run it on real work with monitoring in place.
04
Maintain
Fix issues, handle changes in your systems, and keep what we built working after launch.

What you get at each stage

Working output at every stage

Each stage ends with something you can inspect and accept before the next one starts.

01
Discovery
We sit with the business owner and the people doing the work, and read the systems involved.
You receive: A written scope: the problem, systems and access, delivery requirements, and how success will be measured.
02
Pilot
We build the smallest version that does the job and run it on real data with your team.
You receive: A working pilot in your environment, a list of what it handles and what it does not, and results against the agreed measure.
03
Deployment
We harden the pilot, connect it to production, and move the team onto it.
You receive: The system live in production with monitoring, documentation, a runbook, and trained users.
04
Expansion
With the first problem solved, we extend to the next workflow, team, or site.
You receive: A prioritised backlog and the next scoped piece of work, or a clean handover to your team.

After the first engagement

What will be working, and who owns making it work?

What ships, and who owns it?

One problem solved in production: a named workflow or integration running on your real data, used by the team that owns the work, with documentation and monitoring. A Kingo engineer owns delivery until you accept it against the criteria agreed in discovery. After go-live, your business owner owns the outcome day to day, and Kingo keeps maintaining what we built if you continue with support.

One live workflow on your real data. Kingo delivers it; your team owns it day to day.

Who joins your team

A forward deployed engineer, with a Kingo product lead when the work touches Kingo itself. On your side: a business owner who decides priorities, and an IT contact for access and security.

A Kingo engineer, plus your business owner and IT contact.

How we work with business owners

We work in your channels, show working software every week, and ask the business owner to decide trade-offs. Priorities are theirs. Engineering choices are ours to explain and answer for.

Weekly working software. You set priorities; we own the engineering.

Where Kingo work ends and custom work begins

Configuring and implementing Kingo Agent and Kingo AI OS, including standard connectors, is Kingo implementation. Anything that needs new code beyond that, such as a connector to an in-house system or a customer-specific rules engine, is custom work. It is scoped and priced separately, and built inside your Kingo environment where it can be.

Standard Kingo setup is implementation. New code for your systems is custom — scoped separately.

Indicative starting scope

A typical first engagement is one engineer on one problem for about 6 to 8 weeks: around 1 week of discovery, 2 to 3 weeks of pilot, and 2 to 3 weeks to deploy and hand over. We fix the scope and price after discovery. Timing depends on the systems involved.

About 6–8 weeks, one engineer, one problem. Scope and price after discovery.

Who it is for

For manufacturers and suppliers with a problem to solve

A good fit when the problem is clear, a business owner is ready to work with an engineer, and neither a product alone nor a one-off workshop would finish the job.

Kingo Agent

Sales teams that need more than a product

You want Kingo Agent working inside how you sell, with your data, contacts, and processes connected.

Kingo AI OS

Operations teams with a stuck workflow

Orders, quotes, or supplier updates move by email and re-keying, and an off-the-shelf tool does not fit your ERP.

Custom

Teams with a problem that fits neither

You need something built that is specific to your products, customers, or systems, and you need it running, not recommended.

Testimonials

What teams are saying

Industrial enterprises and operators who use Kingo to find qualified buyers and focus on what closes.

Kristyan

Co-founder, PARAi · Robotics & Automation

In industrial automation, growth is real — but the bottleneck is rarely the robot. It is knowing which plants, lines, and buyers are actually ready to automate, and reaching them before the shortlist closes.

Kingo gives our network a clearer view of in-market demand across manufacturing, logistics, and heavy industry. Instead of chasing generic lists, teams see accounts that fit — and can act while the opportunity is still open.

Common questions

Start with Kingo Agent if you need qualified buyers and a product your team can run. Choose Kingo AI OS to connect a sales or operations workflow across your systems. Choose Forward Deployed Engineering when the problem needs engineers to build or integrate something those products do not cover, or you want an engineer to implement them inside your team.
