Common questions, answered.

When do we start paying?

When your team is using the first part we've built to run real jobs. Until then, it's completely free. We keep building and looking after the system on a monthly plan, with no minimum term.

How much of our time will it take?

A 1-hour kickoff with whoever does the work today, then a 30-minute check-in each week with you or your ops lead. There are no workshops.

Is my business big enough?

It usually makes sense from about 15 staff. Below that, off-the-shelf software is often cheaper, and we'll tell you if that's the case.

Why not just buy an ERP like NetSuite?

If an off-the-shelf system fits your business, it can be a good choice. Custom software makes sense when you need it to work differently. Floor Authority was quoted about $35,000 to set NetSuite up and a couple of thousand a month after that, and it still couldn't sell flooring by the box without paying outside developers on top.

Do we have to stop using QuickBooks or our other software?

No. We start alongside the tools you already use. Each process moves over when it's ready, and we keep the tools that work for you connected to your system.

Is there a minimum term?

No. You can cancel any month, and everything we've built is yours, so it stays with you.

What if we want to leave?

The software and your data sit in accounts you own from day one, with written docs we keep up to date. If you leave, we hand everything to your next developer at no cost.

Tell us what's slowing the business down.

Show us the work you most want off your team's plate. We'll discuss what we could automate, where to start, and whether it makes sense for your business.
