Customers

Save Time and Effort

You and your staff should be focusing on value generation, but are instead bogged down by administrative workload. Tasks we can automate includes...

  • Payment reminders: automatically send out personalized payment reminders to your customers.
  • Leave management: apply, approve, and track leave online.
  • Calculate payroll: track working hours and generate payroll.

Work is a mix of tedium and excitement. Let us deal with the boring bits, so you can get back to what really matters the most.

Time and Effort

Convergence of technology

Sometimes, software alone can't do the job. We can configure and build hardware to meet your needs. Ideas includes...

  • Automated Kiosks: for an unmanned registration counter.
  • Process Automation: monitor and control your production process.
  • Location Tracking: track movement of children in a childcare center and warn when they stray too far.

We are primarily a service business, so if there are commercially available hardware that meets your needs, we'll buy it and integrate it for you. If not, we'll build it cheap and integrate it with our software solutions.

Software and Hardware

Our Prices?

Our prices varies depending on your needs, but here are some indicative prices.

Software only

($2,000 - $4,000)*

Most of our software will be web-based and will cost between $2,000 to $4,000 to develop depending on complexity. Very simple requirements may cost below $2,000.

Cost of operating the server is free for the first year and subsequent years will typically cost less than $20/month. We'll provide you with all the software that is developed for you, so you're free to source for alternative web-hosting.

Contact us and we'll be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs and provide a quote.

Hardware and Software

(Varies)*

We can't really estimate hardware costs, since it'll depend heavily on the quantity and type. It can range from less than $100 per unit for very simple and low cost devices, to over $1,000 per unit for more complex solutions.

If the hardware is available off-the-shelf, we can purchase it for you at a nominal mark-up (typically 10%). Our business is in developing customized solutions, not hardware trading, so you can also choose to purchase the hardware yourself.

Cost of operating the server is the same as the software only service, and as always, we would be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs.
