Integrated Commercialization Model
FPG's engagement model is structured around deployment phases, not billing hours. Each client relationship begins with a defined deployment scope and transitions into a long-term operational partnership as production infrastructure matures.
Engagement Structures
The primary engagement structure for active deployments. A monthly retainer covers ongoing advisory, coordination, and technical oversight — milestone fees align FPG's compensation with defined delivery outcomes at each phase.
Client Scope
All client segments
Engagement Scale
Scoped per engagement
Hardware and profile supply relationships established during deployment continue as long-term operational partnerships. Supply volume scales naturally with client production growth — no additional engagement overhead required.
Client Scope
Fabricators, commercial window companies
Engagement Scale
Volume-based, scales with production
ERP deployment is structured as a defined implementation engagement followed by ongoing licensing support and system optimization. As client operations scale, ERP scope expands — creating a durable technical relationship tied to production infrastructure.
Client Scope
Mid-market fabricators, startups
Engagement Scale
Implementation + annual support
For European system developers entering North America, FPG structures commercialization support as a defined partnership — aligning FPG's compensation with deployment outcomes rather than hourly advisory. Compensation is tied to North American market activation, not speculative projections.
Client Scope
European system developers, fenestration startups
Engagement Scale
Defined term, tied to North American deployment
Engagement structures are sequenced to match deployment phases — each phase activates the appropriate support model as the client's operation matures.
System architecture, hardware sourcing, ERP scoping, and fabrication setup. Structured as a defined-scope engagement with milestone-based delivery.
ERP deployment, workflow digitization, testing coordination, and production ramp. Retainer continues through commissioning; ERP implementation fee structured at go-live.
Go-to-market execution, channel development, and brand positioning. For European system developers, commercialization partnership terms activate at North American market entry.
Hardware supply continuity, ERP licensing support, and periodic advisory as client operations scale. The deployment relationship transitions to a long-term operational partnership.
Each client segment enters the deployment model at a different phase and depth. The engagement structure is scoped accordingly — from full turnkey deployment to targeted technical advisory.
| Client Type | Engagement Scope | Structure | Relationship Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Market Fabricator | ERP deployment + hardware supply + operational advisory | Retainer through deployment; supply relationship ongoing | Multi-year operational partnership |
| Fenestration Startup | Full turnkey deployment — system selection through commercial launch | Phased retainer across all deployment stages | Founding operational partner |
| Commercial Window Company | System architecture + testing coordination + ERP scaling | Project-based with retainer option for ongoing support | Technical advisory relationship |
| European System Developer | North American market entry + fabricator network + commercialization | Commercialization partnership with defined North American deployment scope | Strategic market entry partner |
Deployment Continuity
A client who deploys with FPG does not graduate to self-sufficiency — they graduate to a deeper operational relationship. Hardware supply, ERP support, and technical advisory continue as the production operation scales.
