FAQ’s

Pricing

  • Each business is different, meaning there’s no “one size fits all” solution. We work closely with you to understand your business, ensuring you’re not paying for any “fluff” services that aren’t beneficial to you.

    Our services are catered uniquely to your business, meaning you can utilize anywhere from one, to all of our services.

    For a business with multiple data connections, a database cost starts at $2000 CAD to setup. This cost varies case-to-case based on the complexity.

    There are monthly costs after the initial setup for management, updates, and analysis - but these are a much lower amount, usually 5-10% of the initial. This monthly cost also includes meetings where we sit down with you to go over the numbers, notable changes or opportunities for business growth - or just general strategy or inquiries. Think about it as a business partner on contract!

    Our reports are priced based on complexity, and the software used. You can expect $350-$500 as a one-time cost for the build. Revisions or updated builds are subject to charge depending on the complexity of the ask.

    If you don’t want to setup a database with us, no worries. All our other services are still available to you!

    We aim to be as honest and upfront as possible, but based on the unique nature of our service and your business, setting fixed prices is not possible.

    However, reaching out for a quote comes at zero cost and obligation, so feel free to send us an email. We will be sure to get back to you within 24 hours. The more detail you provide us with, the more accurate we can be with our response!

  • No. Our solutions are built to be used within software’s many business’ either own, or have access to for free. Many of the software’s we use are chosen because our customers will not have to pay to use them.

    Want to know what software’s our services are built around? Here’s a quick list of the most commonly used softwares that you would interact with:

    • Microsoft Excel

    • Google Sheets

    • Microsoft PowerBI (as a non-developer, you can use this for free)

    • Microsoft PowerApp (as a non-developer, you can use this for free)

    • Microsoft Forms (as a non-developer, you can use this for free)

Comittment

  • Absolutely not. Running a small business is an ever-evolving process, and we believe that you should have the flexibility to choose where you spend your money, without being penalized by cancellation fees.

  • Don’t worry, we don’t lock you in for any period of time. If you want to work with us for a week, that’s fantastic. For a decade? Even better. All we ask for is 30-day notice before we part ways.

  • We are committed to providing you with a professional, and friendly partnership. We want your business to succeed and for you to reach your goals. Our commitment is to do everything we can to help you along the journey.

Data

  • We look at data as anything that you can measure with either numbers or values (names, ID’s, areas, etc.) consistently in your business. These points of data can be insightful on their own, but our team is here to leverage the data your business generates, to provide you with greater insights into your business.

    Here’s an example:

    Customer John Doe buys a bees wax lip balm from the front desk that cost the business $1.25, for $3.50, on Monday January 13th at 2:15pm. Jane Doe was working in the store at the time, and took the payment from a Visa card.

    Data from this Transaction:

    • Revenue: $3.50

    • Quantity of items bought: 1

    • Item: Vanilla Bees wax lip balm

    • Customer: John Doe

    • Transaction Type: Credit Card

    • Day of week: Monday

    • Date: January 13th

    • Season: Winter

    • Time: 2:15pm

    • Location of item: Front Desk

    • Cost of goods sold: $1.25

    • Gross Margin: $2.25

    One purchase is not enough to build a strong strategy off of - but if this trend was to continue, a correlation between cold, dry weather, and sale of lip balms would emerge.

    Keeping this product near the register during winter months would be beneficial as customers may come to the store for a different item, and buy a lip balm as they checkout.

    Although this example focuses on a small part of the data that relates to a sale at a retail store, every type of business, and every part of running a business generates its own valuable information.

    There’s no need for you to be an expert, you can leave that to us. However, we believe education is never a bad thing so we highly encourage you to ask any questions that come to mind!

  • We utilize your data to create powerful insights, strategies, and reports so you can have an easy to digest and informative look at your business.
