Primary service project pricing checklist:

1. AUTOMATION

Checklist of factors we need to consider when pricing industrial automation services:

1. Scope of services: Determine the specific services that will be provided, such as
system design, installation, programming, testing, and commissioning, among
others. The scope of services will determine the complexity and time required for
the project.
2. Type of automation: Determine the type of automation required, such as
programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, human-machine interfaces (HMIs),
sensors and other automated devices. Different types of automation may require
different skill sets and tools, affecting pricing.
3. Customization requirements: Consider any customization required to meet the
specific needs of the client. Customization can add time and resources to the project
and increase the price.
4. Timeframe: Determine the timeframe required to complete the automation project.
Urgent or tight timelines may impact the price due to the need for additional
resources.
5. Expertise and experience: Consider the level of expertise and experience required to
deliver the automation services. This can impact the pricing since more experienced
technicians or engineers may charge higher rates.
6. Value proposition: Consider the value proposition of the automation services, such
as the potential cost savings, increased efficiency, or improved quality that the client
can achieve. This can impact the pricing since higher value services may command
higher prices.
7. Maintenance and support: Determine if maintenance and support services will be
included in the pricing and factor in the ongoing costs of providing these services.
8. Contract terms: Establish clear contract terms, including payment schedules,
deliverables, and milestones, to ensure that both the service provider and the client
are aligned on the scope, timeline, and pricing of the project.
9. Competitive landscape: Assess the pricing strategies of competitors offering similar
automation services to ensure that the pricing is competitive.

Client budget: Understand the budget constraints of the client and offer pricing that is competitive while
also ensuring profitability for the service provider.

2.CMMS
Here is a checklist of factors to consider when pricing CMMS services:

1. Company size: larger companies may require more resources and customization, which can
increase the cost.

2. Number of users: the more users, the higher the cost, as it requires more licenses and
infrastructure.

3. Scope of work: the range of services provided can vary, and more comprehensive services will
be more expensive.

4. Customization: if the CMMS software needs to be customized to fit the company's specific
needs, it may increase the cost.

5. Implementation: the cost of installation and setup can vary based on the complexity of the
system and the amount of support required.

6. Maintenance and support: ongoing maintenance and support services may be included in the
pricing or charged separately.

7. Training: the cost of training employees to use the CMMS software should be factored into the
pricing.

8. Integration: if the CMMS software needs to be integrated with other systems, the cost may be
higher.

9. Contract length: longer contracts may result in lower pricing per month or per user.

10. Additional services: additional services, such as data migration, may increase the cost.
