Software built around your business
For businesses big enough that off-the-shelf job software has started costing them money, in licences, in workarounds, and in the jobs nobody can see properly. We build your own instance around how you actually work: fully custom, and yours. Builds start at 00,000 ex GST and are quoted on what yours actually involves, so plenty land above it. Day-to-day tweaks to the standard StackLyft product stay included at no charge; this is the separate, bespoke thing.
When the software starts costing you
Most job software is sold per user and built for a crew of a dozen. Tradify says as much. It is designed for teams up to twenty, and past that they ask you to have a conversation. Past that point you are paying a licence for every person on the books, every month, forever, for a product that still does not do the thing your business is actually good at. The workarounds get written into how people work, and the jobs that make or lose you money are the ones the software cannot see. A custom instance is a one-off build with no per-seat licence on it, so the cost is known up front and stops climbing when you hire.
Do the ten-year sum
At $62 per user per month (Tradify's published Plus rate, so you can check it), and assuming prices rise 5% a year, ten years of licences comes to about 87,000 for 20 people, $374,000 for 40, $561,000 for 60 and $749,000 for 80. Against a build starting at 00,000, that is $87,000 more at 20 seats, $274,000 more at 40, $461,000 more at 60 and $649,000 more at 80. Past about 65 seats, ten years of licences alone runs more than half a million dollars past the cost of a build, for software that still is not yours. That is arithmetic rather than a promise: it counts licence fees only, and excludes what you spend running a custom instance, implementation and migration charges, and what the workarounds cost you in time.
How it runs
First we come and watch, a day or two following a job from the phone call to the money landing, with the people who actually do it. Then you get the spec and the price in plain English: what gets built, what it does, what it costs and when it lands, fixed before anyone writes code. It gets built in the open, so your people use it as it goes and what they say changes it. Then you get unlimited revisions for three months after handover: use it in anger, find the things nobody thought of, and we keep changing it until it fits. After that, changes are quoted like any other work. It stays yours either way, your instance and your data, hosted in Australia, with the people who wrote it answering the phone.
Whether it is worth it
Tell us what you run now, how many people are on it and the thing it will not do. If a build is not the right answer for you we will say so. The standard product suits most outfits and it is a great deal cheaper.
