FOUNDING SUPPLIER PRICING
Price the operating burden before pricing the software.
The first purchase is not a software migration. It is a bounded review of one month of Direct Delivery operations. If the records do not show enough recoverable time, cash, or control to justify implementation, the supplier should not subscribe.
DO NOT BUY ON A PROMISE
The workflow has to produce a number that makes the subscription boring.
A supplier should know how many hours are spent re-entering orders, how many exceptions remain unresolved, how long credits and invoice obligations stay open, and which month-end checks are rebuilt manually.
The audit establishes that baseline from approved records. A commercial subscription is proposed only after the scope, users, retailer accounts, data sources, procedures, and unsupported integrations are written down.
THE CONTROLLED HANDOFF
What the operating record does, step by step.
- 01
$500 workflow audit
Review one month, up to 10 retailer accounts and 25 SKUs. The fee is credited to the first subscription invoice when implementation follows.
- 02
$299 foundation
Target price for a small supplier with fewer than 10 active retailer accounts and a bounded operator-assisted workflow.
- 03
$599 operations
Target price for 10 to 50 active retailer accounts, additional operating roles, exception review, and expanded reporting scope.
- 04
$999+ multi-brand
Starting point for processors, agencies, or supplier groups with several brands, teams, or operating entities.
- 05
Retailers participate free
The supplier-led pilot does not charge invited retailers a platform subscription for ordering, receiving, and exception participation.
WHAT THE AUDIT BUYS
A decision, not a discovery call disguised as consulting.
The paid audit should produce a clear map of the current workflow, measurable exceptions, an implementation boundary, and an honest recommendation to proceed, narrow, or stop.
Cost and control baseline
Observed re-entry, follow-up, exception aging, unresolved records, and data gaps based on the approved sample.
Pilot proposal
Exact records, roles, procedures, supported imports, unsupported provider operations, subscription tier, and acceptance criteria.
COMMERCIAL BOUNDARIES
The number of retailer accounts is a starting metric, not a hidden meter.
The final quote should reflect operating complexity. A low-volume supplier with unusual document, integration, security, or multi-entity requirements may need a different scope than the standard target tier.
No per-order surprise
The founding target tiers are monthly supplier subscriptions, not a percentage of wholesale sales.
No retailer toll
Invited stores should not have to buy a subscription just to complete the supplier's handoff.
No unsupported integration bundled
Provider approval, credentials, mapping, certification, and third-party charges are scoped separately.
OPERATING BOUNDARY
These are founding target prices, not an open self-serve checkout.
Access remains invite-only. The written audit or pilot agreement controls the actual price, term, tax treatment, records, service boundary, support, cancellation, data retention, and responsibilities.
- CAD pricing
- Written scope before access
- Audit credited when implementation follows
PLAIN ANSWERS
Questions operators ask before a pilot.
Why charge for the audit?
Payment tests whether the problem is urgent enough to fund and keeps the review focused on a defined operational result rather than a generic product demonstration.
Is the $500 audit refundable?
The public offer does not promise a general refund. Any cancellation, refund, credit, or delivery condition must be written into the accepted audit agreement.
Can a retailer buy the product directly?
Retailer premium products are not part of the current founding offer. The first commercial model is supplier-led, with invited retailer participation included.
PROVE THE WEDGE BEFORE THE MIGRATION
Put one month of Direct Delivery on one record.
The founding audit covers a bounded supplier workflow, approved business records, explicit unsupported connections, and a written proceed, narrow, or stop recommendation.
