How much does layered process audit software cost? Build a first-year budget

Current LayerAudit pricing

How many seats should a factory budget for?

Count unique people who need access across shifts, then ask which roles the vendor bills. On a two-shift line, six auditors, two supervisors, two quality users, one site manager and one administrator make 12 people if every role belongs to a different person. Count a supervisor who also audits once. Ask whether read-only users, substitutes, external auditors and service accounts affect the bill. Reconcile the vendor’s answer against your roster before using it in the budget.

What does the first year cost beyond the license?

Start with the subscription, then add implementation, migration, training, internal labor and any required hardware or integration. Separate fixed setup charges from charges that recur. Ask vendors to quote the same sites, roles, support hours and required integrations.

The labor figures are a worked budgeting example. Replace them with your payroll and rollout assumptions. If you expect to scale from 12 to 20 seats, ask how added seats are charged during the term and how renewals handle seats you remove.

When is it worth getting a site-based quote?

Request both quotes when several plants share central quality staff or use many occasional auditors. Give the vendor a roster by plant and shift, count shared users once and require both offers to include equivalent support and data access. Check each quote for the minimum commitment, pilot-to-production terms, renewal pricing and the cost of exporting records and attachments at exit.
