Reason #1 - Pricing
Service Parts Management (SPM) solutions deliver a lot of value, and legacy vendors want you to pay for it. Entry level for SPM solutions start at $200k/year. This is a significant investment that typically require budget allocation as part of an annual planning process. That planning also requires getting IT resources allocated for a major integration project.
Sound exhausting? We think so too!
Our goal is to have you up and running in less time than it takes the other guys to get you a straight answer on pricing.
Speaking of which... We publish our pricing so you can see for yourself what a better way looks like.
Reason #2 - Deployment Speed
Is your IT team ready to kickoff a 9+ month project to build the integration? Probably not.
The annoying part... You already integrated with your 3PL and a lot of the same data is required for a SPM solution.
Why do you need to build another integration for your service supply chain? You shouldn't, and we designed our system so you don't have to. Our solution integrates with the leading 3PLs for service supply chains and sets itself up based on the data you already provided them.
Reason #3 - Contract Terms
Let's assume those first two concerns don't apply to you. Now it is time to ink a contract with your preferred vendor. Legacy vendors want to lock you in to a 3 year contract. That is a good idea (for them!), since it will take you a year to implement.
What happens if you don't get all the value you were promised in the business case developed to justify the investment? Not the vendor's problem, the annual fee for year 2 (and 3) is coming no matter what. Termination for convenience? You will pay a premium on the premium for that privilege. That is not a "partnership,", more like a hostage situation!
At Cloud Neato, we structured our pricing based on a monthly fee. We only do annual contracts if YOU want it.
