For the last year I've been doing a web app for a compensation company that sends a lot of documents via snail mail because they require physical signature (yup, no fancy digital signatures). The web app is simplifying process of document creation by getting data from database and using it to fill the template in proper manner.
It got me thinking and led to some assumptions:
The idea is, actually, quite simple: if you are filling templates for your business manually you are loosing a lot of money (because of time spent). What if you could export your data and fill 100's of documents within minutes just by these three simple steps:
What I would like to ask you are two things:
Those are just arbitrary numbers that felt right. Additionally, I put 'Cost per page' calculations (probably would drop on highest when shown to customer). Highest means if in a selected tier you would use minimum number of pages (so in 501 - 2000 tier you would use appx. 550 pages). Lowest on the other hand is when in the same example you would use number of docs close to maximum for you tier.
I hope it makes sense! Looking forward to your feedback!
It got me thinking and led to some assumptions:
- there are many more people using Word documents
- there are almost as many people manually filling same documents they need to send
- many of them are using .csv files (because many apps let download data in that format)
The idea is, actually, quite simple: if you are filling templates for your business manually you are loosing a lot of money (because of time spent). What if you could export your data and fill 100's of documents within minutes just by these three simple steps:
- Upload your data
- Insert tags in your template
- Run the generator
What I would like to ask you are two things:
- What do YOU think about the idea?
- What pricing strategy would be good? My trial on that below.
Pages per month | Price per month | Cost per page (highest) | Cost per page (lowest) |
1 - 500 | $0 (FREE) | 0 | 0 |
501 - 2000 | $49 | $0.10 | $0.03 |
2001 - 5000 | $149 | $0.08 | $0.03 |
5001 - 10000 | $499 | $0.10 | $0.05 |
>10000 | God knows |
