Case Studies
The Ski Hire Manager is a very automated and powerful system which will save you time and money. We believe that in most cases it will pay for itself in the first year of business.
The staff at Froggy consulting understand that the hardware costs add up quickly, which is why we have discounted our software and installation costs and thus reduced the total cost of ownership of the system.
Please note that hardware costs are appoximate. We have taken a conservative view and so the actual costs may be slightly lower.
Scenario 1: (3 Terminals)
I would like to use Ski Hire Manager with 3 terminals. I will require telephone support for assistance. I have no computers at present. What is the total cost of ownership?
Froggy consulting would recommend the 3 year maintenance agreement for the 3 terminals. A total license cost of $2,970 for 3 years.
At least 1 day installation and training is recommended so users can utilise the software to its maximum potential.
