How to Run a Proof of Concept Before Committing

To run a proof of concept, you pick one real process, build it end to end, and put real work through it. Anything less tells you how a demo behaves, not how the platform does.

Why most evaluations prove nothing

Trials tend to explore features rather than test a process.

Several processes started and none finished
Test data that behaves better than real data
Nobody outside the evaluator using it
Integration deferred to "after we decide"

How to structure it

One process, chosen because it is currently painful
Real data, including the messy cases
Real users, not just the person evaluating
The integration included, since it is where projects usually fail
A defined end date, with a decision attached

How to do it in Jestor

Create a free account in Jestor and pick one painful process.
Install the closest template, or upload the spreadsheet you currently use.
Build the intake and the routing, and connect the ERP if the process needs it.
Put two weeks of real work through it, with the people who actually do it.
Review the SLA data at the end to compare against how the process ran before.

Why choose Jestor for evaluation?

Jestor offers a free account and free setup assistance from its team, which means a serious proof of concept does not require a budget decision before you know whether it works.

Because templates install in about two minutes and integrations for Omie and Conta Azul are native, the parts that usually delay a trial are the parts that are fastest here.
