Software built without understanding the process doesn't work.
Most tool rollouts don't fail because of the technology, they fail because nobody understands how the company actually works. Remote-only consulting delivers generic concepts. We embed in your workflows instead, to get the best result out of the rollout.
What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?
The term comes from Palantir and describes engineers who work directly within the client's environment instead of advising from a distance. They understand processes, data and people on-site and build solutions to match, rather than forcing off-the-shelf software onto the business. In 2026, AWS and Microsoft made this model the standard for complex digitalisation projects with billion-dollar investments. At Blinno, this role is called Blinno Solution Consultant.
On-site or online, always close to the process
1. On-site or remote with added capacity
We're where you need us. In your office in person, or with a dedicated online team working in sprints.
2. Process and environment first
Before we build, we understand how your company actually works: departments, interfaces, informal workflows.
3. Change management included
New tools fail on adoption, not on technology. We support teams through the transition from A to Z.
4. Built to scale, not a one-off fix
What we build doesn't just work for one team, it grows with you: across departments, locations and countries.
From analysis to scale
We analyse your workflows, design efficient processes and set up monday.com so it truly fits your company.
1. Analysis
We start where you are. The Solution Consultant sits down with all stakeholders, looks at the existing systems and identifies where processes stall today.
2. Design & Prototyping
From the analysis comes a first working prototype, usually within a few days. You see early on how the solution looks and works, instead of waiting weeks for a concept paper.
3. Implementation & Integration
The prototype is built out into the production solution and connected to your existing systems.
4. Change Management & Rollout
We train the teams directly on the new solution, gather feedback and adjust where needed. That's how adoption grows from day one.
5. Scaling
What works in the pilot team, we roll out deliberately, first to other departments, then across the whole company.
The right tools, used efficiently.
We choose the tool to fit your process, not the other way round. The logos below are just a sample, we work with any tool. Get in touch if you want to know whether yours fits.
Years of experience,
many projects & know-how
Blinno has delivered over 638 automation and no-code projects since 2017, for companies of every size.
This experience feeds directly into every engagement our Blinno Solution Consultants take on: patterns we already know, mistakes we don't repeat.
This is what it looks like in practice
«For a global automotive manufacturer with over 150,000 employees, Blinno introduced n8n company-wide with an agile team on-site. Rather than automating individual processes first, the foundation was laid first: governance, DEV/PROD separation, naming conventions, approval process.
Only then were the HR processes built, in close coordination with the business departments. Result: traceable, scalable automation that internal teams can continue to run themselves.»

FAQ
Still not sure whether a Blinno Consultant Engineer is the right choice for your company? Here we answer some of your likely questions:
What is the difference between a Forward Deployed Engineer and a classic consultant?
A consultant delivers analysis and recommendations, usually as a report or presentation. A Forward Deployed Engineer builds the solution themselves, directly in the client's system, and stays until it runs. At Blinno that means: the Solution Consultant doesn't just sit down with you, they implement too.
Does Forward Deployed Engineering only make sense for large enterprises, or for SMEs too?
The model became known at large corporations, but it works regardless of company size. What matters isn't company size, it's whether a project can't move forward without direct involvement in day-to-day operations. That can affect a single department just as much as a large group.
Do your Solution Consultants only work on-site, or remotely too?
Both. Some projects need a physical presence in your office, others work just as well with a dedicated online team in sprint mode. What fits, we clarify in the intro call based on your project.*
Wie lange dauert ein typischer FDE-Einsatz bei Blinno?
Das hängt vom Umfang ab: von einem kurzen Sprint für einen einzelnen Prozess bis zum mehrmonatigen Einsatz bei einer unternehmensweiten Einführung. Der Consultant bleibt so lange im Projekt, bis die Lösung im Alltag trägt, nicht nach einem fixen Kalenderdatum.
Was kostet ein Forward Deployed Engineering Einsatz?
Das lässt sich ohne Kenntnis des Vorhabens nicht genau beziffern, es hängt von Umfang, Dauer und Komplexität ab. Im kostenlosen Erstgespräch schätzen wir das gemeinsam ein und sagen ehrlich, ob ein FDE-Einsatz der richtige Ansatz für euch ist.
