Kernstone is a small consultancy with no management layers between you and the people doing the work. Less overhead means a noticeably lower cost for you. To show what that looks like in practice, we start with a paid, fixed-scope pilot on a real item from your backlog.
Larger partners carry structure that suits large programmes. For many backlog items you don't need it, and you shouldn't have to pay for it.
No account managers or project-office layers sitting between you and the work.
You talk directly to the people who build it, so less gets lost in translation.
A small team with low fixed costs, and those savings go into the price.
You know the price before work starts. No open-ended hourly billing.
We also use AI tools in our own delivery work. Every change is reviewed by us and documented for your team.
We are new, so we don't have a track record to point to yet. Instead, you judge us on a real piece of work.
A short call to look at your backlog and pick one item that fits a 1–4 week pilot.
A written scope, what "done" means, timeline and one fixed price. You see the cost before we start.
We build in your development environment, with regular check-ins on progress.
A demo of the working result, documentation, and a clean handover. Then you decide.
Pipeline, accounts and forecasting, configured around how your sales team works.
Case handling, queues, SLAs and knowledge management.
Omnichannel routing, voice and digital channels.
Secure portals for customers and partners on your Dataverse data.
Data models, security roles and integrations.
Typical backlog items that suit a pilot or ongoing support:
Plugins, custom APIs, PCF controls and form scripts for Dynamics 365.
New flows, or fixing and tidying existing ones that are fragile or slow.
New portals or changes to existing ones, including table permissions.
Table and relationship cleanup, security roles, and data quality issues.
Working through the list of issues and small changes after launch.
Writing down how things work and adding tests so changes are safer.
Kernstone is a father-and-son team. Small team, direct lines, no hand-offs to people you haven't met.
Your day-to-day contact. Sorin handles scoping, planning and client delivery coordination, and makes sure you always know where things stand.
Leads all Dynamics and Power Platform work, covering:
Yes. A pilot can be a single, clearly bounded item that sits next to your existing partner's work. We agree on environments, branching and deployment with you up front so nothing conflicts.
We work remotely from the Netherlands and Moldova. Moldova is one hour ahead of CET, so our working hours overlap with a normal Dutch working day. Sorin is your contact in the Netherlands.
We ask for the least access needed, ideally in a development or test environment, using accounts you create and control. We're happy to sign an NDA before seeing any details, and you can remove our access at any time.
A pilot is a fixed price for a fixed scope, agreed in writing before work starts. Because we are a small team with little overhead and no management layers, that price is lower than you might expect from a larger partner. If you then sign a 12-month agreement within 30 days, the pilot fee is credited in full.
