Services
The half that is not software.
Nobody buys a labeling system because they want a labeling system. They buy it to stop a specific problem, and the distance between those two things is the work on this page.
What Innovatum does.
Four areas, in the order they usually matter. All four are agreed per deployment: how much of each you need depends on what you are moving from and how many sites are in scope.
Data migration.
Your label templates and label data move from the system you use now. RONOVA is built for this rather than treating your existing library as an obstacle, and what is involved depends on what you are moving from.
Configuration to your business.
Approval steps, permissions, signing authority and printing workflows configured to how your process actually runs. The alternative, changing the process to suit the software, is what gets worked around locally and puts you back where you started.
Validation support.
IQ/OQ/PQ documentation and support for executing it. Validation is against your configuration, because that is where a labeling system's risk actually sits.
Adoption.
Getting the people who design, approve and print onto the system. A validated deployment that half a plant avoids is not a deployment.
How a deployment tends to run.
The sequence, not a schedule. No durations are published anywhere on this site, because a published duration is a promise made before anyone has seen your estate.
Understand the process.
What you label, who approves it, how it prints, and which regulators are in scope. This is also where the honest answer about fit emerges, including, sometimes, that a smaller deployment is the right one.
Configure and migrate.
The system is configured against that process while templates and label data come across from the existing system. Both happen together, because a migrated template that does not fit the new workflow is not migrated.
Qualify.
Installation, operational and performance qualification against the configuration, with Innovatum's documentation and support. Performance qualification is where your own printers and people come in.
Go live, then add.
The first site goes live. Further sites, markets and printers extend the same configuration rather than starting again, which is what makes a phased rollout affordable.
Why the licence is the wrong number to compare.
It is normal to evaluate labeling vendors on subscription cost, because that is the number vendors publish, and mostly they do not even publish that. It is also the number least likely to determine what the project costs you.
The costs that vary most between vendors are the ones on this page: how much of your template library has to be rebuilt by hand, whether the printing workflow bends to your line or your line bends to it, how much validation evidence you produce yourself, and what a software release does to that evidence afterwards. A cheaper subscription with a manual migration and a rigid printing model is not cheaper.
Ask every vendor, including this one, to be specific about those four. The answers are more revealing than the licence fee, and they are harder to make sound good.
Questions people ask.
Does Innovatum migrate our existing label templates?
Yes: data migration from an existing label system is part of how RONOVA is deployed. What is involved depends entirely on what you are moving from and how consistent your current library is, so the useful version of this answer comes from walking through your actual templates rather than from a general claim.
Is implementation included in the subscription price?
Ask Innovatum directly. The published tier figures on the pricing page are the annual subscription, and how implementation and services are priced alongside them is not stated on this site, which means you should get it in writing rather than assume either way.
Do we have to change our printing process to use RONOVA?
No, that is the intent of configurable printing workflows: they are configured to match the production printing process you already run. This is worth testing hard during evaluation with your most awkward line, because it is the claim that most affects whether a labeling system gets adopted or worked around.
What support is available after go-live?
Support is included in the subscription. Ask Innovatum for the specifics that apply to RONOVA, hours of cover, how to reach support, who answers, and the response and resolution commitment as it is written into the agreement. Get it in the contract rather than in an email: a support commitment you cannot point at is a description rather than an obligation.
