Founding Customers

We are taking on three founding customers — one of each kind of distributor we built BlueApe for. Founding customers get the platform at a founding rate for twelve months. In return, we ask for real work from week one, twenty minutes a week for eight weeks, and an honest opinion.

What a founding customer gets

  • The full platform, unlimited users, no implementation fee
  • A founding rate for twelve monthly invoices, then a list rate written into your agreement and fixed for the following year
  • Setup at your counter with the founder present
  • A direct line to the person who built it, for the first 90 days

  • 2One 20-minute call or visit a week for eight weeks.
  • 3Tell us what is wrong. Bluntly.
  • 4If you are happy at 90 days, let us say so — your name and one sentence. You can say no.
Who this is for

"Same as last time, but in black."

Distributors in Texas that quote from email and run on QuickBooks, spreadsheets, and one person who knows how the pricing really works. Metals, plastics, glass, stone, gasket, fasteners, PVF, wire, lumber — if a customer can email you "same as last time, but in black," we built this for you.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do you charge per user?

No. One price for the company. Add everyone.

Is there an implementation fee?

No. Setup is part of the product and takes about 15 minutes at your counter for the first quote; your history imports from QuickBooks after that.

Do I have to leave QuickBooks?

No. BlueApe does the quoting, ordering, inventory, and shipping; QuickBooks keeps the books. We sync both directions.

What about AI usage limits?

AI is included in your subscription. There are no credits or meters to watch.

What if I outgrow my rate?

We call you and propose a change. Nothing changes on your invoice until you agree in writing.

Where is my data?

In the United States, in your own tenant, exportable any time.

Ask about a founding slot.

One email or one call. We will tell you which slot fits, what the founding rate is for a shop your size, and what the first week looks like.
