The question usually comes backwards: «how much is the software?». Software is the smallest line item and the only one that grows only when you grow. What throws most people off is device stock bought too early.
The biggest cost up front, and the only one paid in advance. Buying a hundred units «just in case» is the most common mistake.
Small per unit, but paid every month for every vehicle, whether it has a client or not.
Someone's hours. Subcontracted it is a cost per vehicle; done yourself it is your time.
A monthly fee per active vehicle. No licence up front and no per-module charge.
One domain a year. The logo and the apps under your name are part of the service.
It appears on no invoice and it is what weighs most once you pass thirty vehicles.
Exact words you can use on the visit. No jargon.
«The software grows with the business: ten vehicles, I pay for ten — not a licence for a hundred.»
«The thing to watch is not filling the warehouse with units before you have anyone to fit them to.»
You resell under your own brand. This is who it works for, and with what argument.
A unit on the shelf bills nothing and gets old.
If it reports badly, you pay for it in site visits and lost clients.
The business is in the monthly fee. Without it, it is one sale and it is over.
Thirty clients calling is a full-time job.
The big cost is not the software but the devices, paid up front. Then come the data SIMs, the installation and the platform, which is billed per active vehicle every month.
No. There is no upfront licence and no per-module charge: all 24 applications are included and you pay per active vehicle, month by month.
It is not billed that month. When it is reactivated it counts again and keeps its history.
Buying too much stock. A device on the shelf earns no monthly fee and gets old. Buy against sales, not just in case.
Yes, the price per vehicle falls with volume, and there is also a discount for paying a year in advance.
