Whether you call it “Software-as-a-Service” (SaaS), “On Demand,” or “Subscription,” the way Predictix delivers retail applications is quite simply better, easier and much more cost effective than what you’re used to with traditional software vendors. Let's contrast the traditional model of purchasing software with SaaS from Predictix.

Exposing a broken model

If you have ever bought traditional enterprise software, you know that it’s a lopsided proposition. You pay millions of dollars upfront for the software, spend more to implement it inside your company, start operating it yourself after a year or more, and then hope it delivers the value the vendor promised. When you don’t see a return, you write off the sunk cost, you turn the software off, and at least you stop throwing good money after bad. Who got the value? The software vendor.

It’s no wonder then that companies attempt to “de-risk” these decisions by approaching enterprise software purchases as full-scale, costly and time-consuming campaigns. Surprise, surprise - in response, software vendors meet this challenge with equally expensive sales campaigns, to ensure they win the prize. As the statistics on failed projects clearly attest, however, vendors are often more effective at winning than at delivering.

So, why would you want to do business this way?

Earning your business every day

Imagine instead spending very little time and money up-front actually trying out a solution. If it works, you keep on paying a little every month. If it doesn’t, you walk away. The gap between identifying and solving problems is measured in months, not years. And the software vendor has to deliver, every day. Risks and rewards are shared, not placed on your shoulders.

Our incentives, aligned

An interesting thing happens when we have to earn your business every day - your success becomes central to our success. Why? If we don’t deliver better solutions than everyone else, you have no incentive, and no obligation, to stay with us. And we like it that way - it keeps us on top of our game. This is how we work at Predictix. Let us show you how.

A quick path to a solution that fits your needs

One of the key advantages of Predictix solutions is how quickly we can tailor them to fit your specific needs - we typically get clients up and running in a matter of two to three months. Because we manage the software for all of our clients, we had to design it so that we can manage it efficiently while providing a unique experience for everyone - this means highly flexible solutions, not one-size-fits-all.

Experience delivering innovation

Speed and simplicity do not come at the expense of sophistication. Our clients appreciate the extensive retail and technology experience the Predictix team brings to the table. We have worked with and for many of the world's leading retailers, designed and built the last generation of “behind the firewall” retail systems, and defined the sophisticated science that underpins them. This experience has allowed us to think about, and then deliver, what’s possible when you start with a clean slate and take advantage of the latest advances in technology.
