EHS Software Pricing – 6 Factors to Consider
In a fragile business environment, where safety budgets keep tightening and where every new investment should facilitate the continuity and scope of operations – How do we determine the right price for an EHS software?
Evaluating the pricing for EHS software hinges on several variables including the size, preferences and unique requirements of each enterprise. However, few things influence purchase patterns as much as the “actual cost” of the software. It would be prudent to know that inexplicably choosing the cheapest alternative that doesn’t deliver the desired results can severely jeopardize your safety program.
In this blog, we connect the boundaries between pricing and functionality to help you find a comprehensive EHS software system that is easy to set-up, easy-to-use, intuitive, unified, accessible, and powerful – enabling you to drive safer outcomes while being easy on the wallet.
Let’s delve deeper into each of these factors:
Number of user licenses:
Most EHS software pricing is based on a per-user license. The user-license plans enable you to optimize licensing costs according to your budget and the size of your enterprise, while additionally allowing you to gain a clear perspective of usage data.
An HSE application like Safetymint gives you the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade plans at any period of time– enabling you to scale as per your business requirement.
Integrate feature-rich modules:
Standalone safety systems like Incident management, Permit to Work Management and Safety Auditing Management can be expensive to implement and maintain.
While an integrated safety management suite, not only ensures combined functionalities at less cost, it promotes knowledge-sharing between different systems to give you precise analytics that ramp up the overall safety program in your workplace.
Implementation strategy:
It is critical to ensure that everyone using a safety management software knows exactly how to report a near-miss or issue a permit. Investing in software training programs and manual desk-to desk-implementation can be both time-consuming and expensive.
An EHS software that encompasses a user-friendly interface, simple onboarding structure, and easy access to support documents may be the tipping point between influencing greater participation toward your safety program. You should opt for validating the intuitiveness of the application interface by allowing teams to access free versions of an EHS application before switching to flexible paid plans.
Hosting plan:
Choosing a cloud or on-premise deployment option plays a critical part in how you ensure accessibility, collaboration and security of all your valuable EHS data across your enterprise.
Cloud-based EHS software is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses seeking lower-upfront cost, easy access, and limited customization options. Larger organizations looking for extensive customization plans at a higher budget may seek an on-premise deployment plan to secure all data transactions with the organization.
Fully Customizable:
Customizing your EHS software offers customers specialized features and distinctive competency to leverage greater functionally during operations. You can also integrate with third-party applications and features including on-premise hosting and Single Sign-On (SSO) and more. While custom systems require considerable development work that adds to the cost, Off-the-shelf offers growing business a cost-effective alternative to building a strong safety program with an array of features at its disposal.
