$999/month for 10 users + $99.95 per additional user.
No hidden fees (See building trust with price transparency).
Flattening the suite to a single edition = No hidden add-ons.
Implementation is one of those services that you can’t just price out on a bill-board. Costs and timelines will depend on your requirements, personnel from your side (aptitude, availability, etc..), how much of the suite is implemented, agreed upon code enhancements, and data conversion. This is why we recommend a phased approach with milestone based progression.
Implementation costs are more than competitive with our BigTech competitors, but likely significantly better value in part because we’re able to cater to your business in a way their network of consultants likely can’t.
Implementation Timeline - One of the first things we like to discuss after learning about your requirements, because misaligned expectations are the #1 reason ERP projects fail. To learn more, we suggest reading through “The 3 best practices our most successful customers share”.
Customization / Custom Paid Enhancements
The best ideas don’t come from committees or focus groups, they’re made from two ingredients. (1) Your expertise forged on the field of competition, and (2) Our expertise in design, development, and the internal workings of BizAutomation. Combine the two and magic happens.
Unlike with code forking, which is typical of open-source software (why “free” or “near-free” open source ERP is one of the most expensive ways to run ERP), our enhancements get folded into the main suite, thereby maintaining a unified code base, which means we’ll be responsible to maintain it. This also means that any enhancement we accept will have to improve on the mouse trap and be a genuine benefit to a sizeable percentage of our subscribers, without violating our business ethos to do more with less. This way only the best concepts get through making for the proverbial “win/win” because it makes everyone more competitive.
If during a gap review (i.e. “the tire kicking phase”) we both determine there are mission critical modifications that would close the gap and make our solution worth considering, we’ll take this under consideration to help us both determine if the juice is worth the squeeze. For us, it’s all about leverageable IP, impact on our resources, and ROI (size of the opportunity will of course factor into the decision).
Because ERP and SCM are essentially an attempt to mirror your business in software, understanding pricing models can be tricky, even when dealing with a single edition suite. Here’s an overview of costs you might face when comparing ERP systems.
We make a big deal out of the so called “Hidden add-on” because we’ve heard many stories from companies over the years that claim the hairball of opaque or hidden add-ons they faced were detrimental to their business. Hidden add-ons typically only apply to modular suites (aka multi “Edition”, “Version”, etc..). Our litmus test is to look at a vendor’s website, and if all the add-ons are not listed - they’re hidden, with negative points if the module or edition they’re based on are hidden too (Suggestion - ask Gemini or ChatGPT).
