Well, it depends.

So when we do that, we integrate that together with their style information, with their ERP system, so to give them a complete visibility to their product, the orders, the shipments, as well as obviously their sales.

Anywhere from about $5,000 to $6,000 a month.

We have customers paying a hundred dollars for a very small, it's a value based proposition.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we have customers paying a hundred dollars and we have those paying, you know, 40, 60, a thousand dollars a month as well.
