Just as with
all other aspects of Flight-Sheets, the designers of the system
solicited feedback from representative end-users when it
came to designing Flight-Sheets' pricing schemes.
- Flight schools are generally frugle operations - Flight-Sheets
must be very economical
- Flight training can be seasonal, and is certainly weather-dependant
- a school should only pay for Flight-Sheets as it is used
("pay as you go"), instead of incurring disproportionate
bills in lean months
- There should be a fee cap - a maximum monthly fee payable
even if the flight operation has an extraordinarily good
month.
- Invoicing Terms must be flexible
- Payment Terms must be flexible
A Pay-As-You-Go Approach
The Flight-Sheets system uses a unique tarrif-based approach.
A small fee is incurred each time an instructor or aircraft
is booked (and is removed if the instructor or aircraft
is cancelled) - fees are only incurred if resources are
booked1.
Fee Cap
Flight-Sheets' pricing schema uses a Fee Cap to ensure that
an extraordinarily good month on your part does not equate
to an extraordinarily high invoice for the Reservation System.
The Fee Cap is calculated by multiplying the total number
of instructors and aircraft listed in the Flight-Sheets
system by a set constant (which is djusted yearly).
If the Pay-as-you-go costs come in higher than the price
cap amount in a given month, the price cap is the amount
that appears on the invoice.
Adjusted Yearly
Additionally, the Price Cap constant is adjusted on a yearly
basis, based on your operation's actual volumes.
We will look at your operation's lowest volume
month and, assuming the Pay-as-you-go amount is
lower than the existing price cap, we will adjust your price
cap downward.
This way, your invoice will never increase,
and will probably decrease on a yearly
basis.
Flexible Invoicing
You will normally be invoiced for use of the system on a monthly
basis. However, if you require alternate arrangements (quarterly,
seasonally, or even yearly), these requests are easily accomodated.
Please contact us with your specific invoicing requirements.
Flexible Payment Plans
Payments are also tailored to your particular requirements.
Payments can be made by cheque, bank transfer, automated
withdrawal, or by other means (including Internet payment
proxies such as PayPal).
You will find our Payment Terms also very flexible. Please
contact us to discuss your operation's particular requirements.
Web Site Hosting
As an added benefit, Flight-Sheets.com will host your existing
web site at no additional cost.
