Our Process
How We Go From Problem to Working Solution
Every build starts with a conversation. But here are the types of systems we've built and can build for local businesses.
1. Free Discovery
We start by understanding your business. How it runs, where the friction is, and what's costing you the most time. No pitch. Just questions and honest answers. We'll spend the day with you at zero cost and with no obligation. Where else can you get that service?
2. Proof of Concept
Reduce the risk. We offer POCs at a fraction of the build cost that prove the core automations deliver the value you're seeking, before you commit to ordering the full system. It's an opportunity for both parties to learn how the other operates, building trust before commitments are made.
3. Book Your Build Slot
After the POC proved the value of the automations, and you've experienced the Ettiecus approach to relationships, values, problem solving, building solutions and being a potential partner of ours, it's time to book your build slot.

Flexible Pricing
Built Around Your Budget. Not the Other Way Around.
Every business has different cash flow, different priorities, and a different appetite for upfront investment. We don't do one-size-fits-all pricing. Here's how it typically works.
Build & Own
Best for: businesses who want to invest upfront and keep ongoing costs low. You pay for the build outright. You own the system, you control the hosting, and your monthly fee is a modest maintenance retainer on a shorter-term agreement. ✓ Lower monthly commitment ✓ Full system ownership from day one ✓ Shorter contract terms ✓ Hosting costs under your control
Build Now, Pay Monthly
Best for: businesses who want the automation without a large upfront investment. No build fee. Ettiecus absorbs the development cost and recovers it over the contract term through a higher monthly fee. Longer commitment, but zero capital outlay to get started. ✓ No upfront build cost ✓ Fixed monthly fee covering build + maintenance ✓ Full system from day one ✓ Ideal for businesses with strong monthly cash flow
Tailored to You
Best for: businesses who want a bit of both. Part upfront, part monthly - weighted however works best for you. Hosting, software ownership, contract length, and monthly fees are all negotiable. We'll find a structure that works for both sides. ✓ Flexible deposit and monthly split ✓ Negotiable contract terms ✓ Transparent at every stage ✓ Quoted individually after discovery call
