thanks for the encouragement. Its good to find another aussie in these parts...
We have not had a problem getting customers to sign up, aside from the normal nobody wanting to be first customer - the outback handshake came in handy here.
The outlay required is the labour to fit the tags to each zerk - some plants have 1000's of them, so a fitter @$120/hr has to visit all of them pull the zerk off and fit the tag. When tey are fitted we need to record to ID and put it into the database, then the system is good to go.
After that, we can remotely program the intervals and grease volumes - using the know how of the people on site, or the OEM manuals. One customer did't have the data, he sent his fitter into the plant to complete a round with GreaseBoss and we used the recordings as the baseline data.
There are a few Aussies around here, but we definitely are not the majority, haha. The Aussie startup/tech space is quite tiny, especially in Queensland where I am from. One thing Australia is good at is quality over quantity. I see you guys being lumped into the same league of success as Atlassian, Envato, Canva and the handful of other startup successes.
Presumably, even though the labour for a fitter being $120/hr is quite high, the savings that companies will make in the long-run not having to repair broken machines that would have lasted a lot longer through regular greasing is the winning equation.
I'd love to connect and follow you guys on LinkedIn.
