ROI Logic

Agencies can charge a setup fee that covers the platform's license cost plus a margin, then add a monthly retainer for hosting, support, and maintenance. Since the platform is already built, the agency's delivery cost is mostly configuration and onboarding, yielding gross margins of 60-80% on the recurring revenue. The recurring nature of the retainer creates predictable cash flow and increases client lifetime value.

Deliverables
  • Branded white-label platform instance with client's logo and domain
  • Configured templates and workflows tailored to the client's business
  • User training session and documentation
  • Support and maintenance plan with defined SLAs
  • Monthly performance report and optimization roadmap
Definition of Done

The client's branded platform is live, the client's team is trained, and the first monthly retainer invoice has been paid.
