Pricing built around your problem — not a per-seat menu
QDES prices business value: working software, domain expertise, risk reduction, and real AI capability. Start small, prove value, and scale on your terms.
How we engage
Most clients start small and scale as value is proven. Each step stands on its own — you only move forward when it makes sense.
Discovery Workshop
One or two focused sessions to pinpoint the use case, assess your data readiness, and recommend the right QDES app or approach. The fastest way to a clear, costed plan.
Paid Pilot / Proof of Value
A limited, real-workflow deployment with your data and a small team. We validate business value against agreed success criteria before any larger commitment.
Company License
Annual access to the app for your defined teams and scope, hosted by QDES or in your environment, with standard support. Our recommended long-term model.
Private Deployment
A dedicated deployment in your cloud, on-premise, or fully offline with local AI models — for privacy-sensitive and regulated environments.
Ways to use and own QDES software
Different organisations want different levels of control. We offer a clear ladder — from simple access to deep ownership.
Subscription / SaaS
We host and run everything. You access the app by team or scope. Lowest entry, fastest start, always up to date.
Private / On-Prem Deployment
Run QDES software inside your own infrastructure for full data control and GDPR alignment — including offline local-model options.
Perpetual Internal-Use License
A perpetual internal-use package with optional source-code handover, for organisations that prefer a one-time arrangement over a subscription. QDES retains the underlying IP.
Strategic & White-Label
Exclusive, white-label, or strategic licensing for partners who want to embed or resell QDES capability. Bespoke and contract-led.
QDES retains its core intellectual property unless a strategic transfer is explicitly agreed. Your data always remains yours.
What shapes your quote
We price on scope and value, not a fixed list. These are the factors that move a quote up or down — so you know what to expect before we talk.
Users & Sites
How many teams, departments, or factories will use it.
Data Sensitivity
Confidential, supplier, personal, or regulated data raises security and validation needs.
Deployment Model
QDES cloud, your cloud, on-premise, or fully offline local models.
Integrations
Connections to systems like SharePoint, SAP, QMS, PLM, MES, Jira, Power BI, or SSO.
Validation & Audit
Audit trails, regulated validation, security review, and quality sign-off.
Support Level
From business-hours support to premium SLAs with proactive reviews.
Training & advisory engagements
Capability is half the value. We help your people understand, trust, and direct AI — so adoption lasts.
Discovery & AI Opportunity Workshop
A working session to map where AI can create real value across your operation, and where it can’t, with a prioritised shortlist.
Team Training
Practical, role-based AI training for quality, manufacturing, and project teams — on-site, virtual, or e-learning.
AI Strategy & Roadmap
Advisory that turns ambition into a sequenced, realistic roadmap: what to do, in what order, and how to measure it.
Embedded Enablement / Train-the-Trainer
We build internal capability so your AI momentum doesn’t depend on one person or one vendor.
How we keep pricing fair and clear
Software, setup, training, and support are priced as separate, transparent line items — never bundled into a vague number.
You only scale when value is proven. Pilots come before commitments.
Your data is always yours. Privacy and data security are non-negotiable.
Every engagement starts with a clear scope, success criteria, and a fixed offer valid for 30 days.
