Pricing models for software went through a revolution when the internet took off. Not only was software now available for download (obviating the need for disks, CDs, and so on), but the models for software businesses themsleves began to morph and change. Terms like “freeware” and “premiumware” became common. Subscription services, often called “software as a service” or SaaS, started to grow. Business software became tiered to allow for different levels of service.
It’s a fair question to ask which pricing models make the most sense in terms of cost and commitment, especially for business operations software. This is especially true for the large majority of businesses that are too big for “home” software versions to be efficient, but also too small for huge enterprise solutions. (For a great example of such a business, see our case study on the Dixie Grace Candle Company.)
The Infoplus Warehouse Management System follows a monthly subscription model with a single price (no tiered services) designed to fit these companies. The aim was to provide a software solution robust enough for most fulfillment and inventory needs while keeping the price at a point where small businesses could afford the product and use it to scale their operations.
So this is the million-dollar question. (Not literally…though it could be!) Does the Infoplus pricing model actually save time and budget for IT departments fighting for resources? How does it compare to more traditional software solutions?
Of course, IT’s two most precious resources are time and portion of the budget. Cloud-based subscription software means that a capital expense now becomes an ongoing monthly subscription line. Furthermore, with Infoplus, that annual cost will be a mere fraction of what it would be with traditional software or larger enterprise-level solutions. Finally, Infoplus clearly saves time and headache when it comes to implementation and changes.
