Comparison

The real cost, line by line.

A quote-based project, a task done by hand, a developer to hire: three comparisons against the AIR.TEK subscription.

A new business model: you no longer pay for projects, hours or headcount, but for a service that runs, at a fraction of their cost. On the left, our market estimates; on the right, the AIR.TEK subscription.

1 · Quote-based project

A project on a quote, or on a subscription.

Example 1Automate order entry

A module that reads the orders you receive by email and enters them into your management software.

On top of the savings: a team that keeps the tool evolving, instead of a new quote.

Example 2A business tool, connected to the ERP and the CRM

A scheduling application, connected to your ERP, with automatic follow-ups in the CRM. Three projects, three quotes, often three providers.

Illustrative examples, prices excluding VAT. On the left, our estimates of market prices: they vary from one provider, and one project, to the next. On the right, AIR.TEK subscription prices for an equivalent scope, paid monthly. Every project is priced after the demo, which is free.

2 · Manual task

A task that keeps 1, 2 or 3 people busy? Handled, for about 30% of its cost.

Data entry, reconciliations, follow-ups, checks: when a repetitive task keeps people busy full time, the AIR.TEK subscription takes it on. The AI does the work; your teams only approve the uncertain cases, and the time freed up goes back to work that needs judgement.
