Strategic Focus: Making Sense Of Smart Buildings Software Pricing Models

This report provides corporate facilities, real estate and workplace executives with a guide to software pricing models across integrated workplace management systems (IWMSs), smart workplace software and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The report answers common buyer questions, such as: what are the dominant pricing models for smart buildings software? How are vendors changing pricing model strategies? What pricing model will best fit my needs? Drawing on our review of 30 software solutions and vendor interviews, Verdantix analysis identifies four major pricing models, centred around the volume of users, features, square foot and data transactions. Each of these models offers distinct pros and cons across areas such as scalability, price certainty and solution flexibility.
