Business Central Job Shop Pricing

Job Shop manufacturing covers a broad group of different kinds of manufacturing.  Job shop pricing for Business Central implementations cover businesses who either run their shops like a project manufacturer (mostly one-off jobs) or a production manufacturer (more repeat jobs).  Unlike production manufacturers, job shops do not have complex inventory requirements and inventory management is very basic at all levels.

For the Job Shop that is mostly one-off oriented to implement Business Central we recommend using the basic version of Sabre's certified ETO addon.  The bronze level handles that well. Silver is better for customers who need more repetitive production type manufacturing.

Some customers need extras (or are looking for something between two tiers). You can choose from the addons at the bottom of this page to customize your implementation.

Finally, a one-size-fits-all for Business Central Job ShopManufacturing pricing doesn't really exist. Larger teams always lead to more complex projects and smaller teams are simpler. Sabre has removed support, project management, and custom one-on-one tutoring and coaching from our fixed price. Instead, customers pay an in-project fee called Project Excellence to cover all these costs.  This means smaller customers pay less, and larger customers pay more - which makes the pricing equitable and more accurate.

The Small Print

Project Excellence is $140 USD/ $175 CAD per user per month during training - minimum 10 users. 
Only custom programming or on-site activities are not included in your fixed project costs.

Bronze

$29,000 USD

$36,300 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
Bronze job shop pricing is meant for smaller or simpler businesses that do not need complex production manufacturing capabilities and very simple inventory.

This project is great to get off the ground quickly with an "out of the box" implementation of all the basic features, leaving anything more advanced for phase 2.
No significant customizations are supported in Bronze projects.  No ISV / 3rd party addons will be used.

Silver

$53,000 USD

$66,300 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
Silver is meant for a more complex job shop manufacturer with an extensive manufacturing capability who might need basic inventory management and warehousing.

This project still focuses on "out of the box" but leaves more room for advanced features and opens the door to somewhat complex customizations or 3rd party addons.
Limited customizations are supported in Silver projects. Selected ISV / 3rd party addons are included.  Programming fees and ISV addon licenses are always extra.

Gold

$69,000 USD

$86,300 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
Gold job shop manufacturing pricing is for projects with features like lot/serial tracking and more complex material requirements planning or scheduling.

Gold projects are eligible to train almost all features of Business Central as well as being eligible to complete complex integrations if required.
Customizations of almost any type are supported in Gold projects. Most ISV / 3rd party addons are available.  Programming fees and ISV addon licenses are always extra.

Frequently Asked  Questions

How do I know how many users I will need for my business?

We answer this question in a blog meant to help you determine how many users you will need. You can read it here.

How many Project Excellence users do I need to pay for during the implementation?

You have to pay for Project Excellence based on the number of FULL users you will go live with. This is the only way to fairly measure the size of your business and therefore the extra costs that will be associated with the project.  Project Excellence is meant to capture the price difference between a large customer with many users to be trained and a small customer with few.

How do I get a quote for Phase 2 activities (things I want to do after I go live)?

We have found that customers complete many "phase 2" activities on their own with just the continuing support from Sabre after the project ends.  Sometimes a small amount of extra support can be added for brief periods to facilitate continuous process improvement with your team. This is by far the best way to achieve phase 2 activities. Measure the return on investment of each extra task, and execute them so long as they make sense to do.

How much is ongoing support and what is included?

Sabre wants to help your business with ongoing continuous improvement in Business Central. We offer Business Excellence, our premium support program. The cost is $70 USD/$ 87.50 CAD and it is mandatory for the 12 months after your project ends.  Business Excellence entitles you to several benefits:
- Unlimited email and remote support incidents
- Unlimited coaching and consulting engagements (first come first serve)
- Use of our Business Excellence addon module with dozens of helpful features

How long are these projects?

Business Central Engineer to order implementation projects are made up of three phases.  Implementation, Go-Live, and Transition.  Implementation varies depending on the tier of your project. Bronze tends to be 5 months, Silver is 7 months and Gold is 9 months in length.  Go-Live is one month.  Transition is two months.  

The average Silver project is 7 months of implementation, followed by a go-live with 1 month of intense support and then 2 months of transition.

Customers who want to add more resources to a project and dedicate more hours can shorten that time significantly. There is a limit on how fast any ERP project can go - usually based on decision making, testing, and training hours available to your team. 

Why don't you include production manufacturing in Bronze?

We have found that simple Job Shop manufacturers do better with Jobs (the basic project manufacturing capabilities) particularly if they are not building to stock, don't expect many repeat orders, and don't manage any inventory outside of some basic raw materials.  Silver and higher customers might be a mix of projects and more make-to-order repetitive.  In this case, we add production manufacturing for those customers.

NOTE: Production manufacturing requires Business Central Premium licenses - which are more than 40% more expensive.
