VMS Deployment: OPEX Cost Projection

This model shifts the high CAPEX into a manageable monthly OPEX fee over a 36-month period, aligning costs with growth.

OPEX Model Configuration

The total development cost (currently 60md - 69,000 SGD).
The one-time fee collected from the client, which reduces the amortized amount.

Customizable Variables:

Based on $300k/year value, assuming an average of $10/voucher (30,000 vouchers/year or 2,500/month).
Fixed fee to cover hosting, SLA, and baseline support costs.
Cost per voucher issued, used to offset the amortized CAPEX portion.
The market's projected annual growth rate for voucher volume.

Cost Components Rationale:

  • Upfront Fee: A one-time payment that immediately reduces the total CAPEX debt.
  • CAPEX Amortization: Spreads the **remaining** build cost over 36 months, reducing the monthly operating expense.
  • Monthly Base Fee: A non-negotiable fixed cost to ensure the underlying infrastructure, SLA, and immediate support are covered.
  • Variable Fee: A dynamic cost that only applies when vouchers are issued, creating a true **Pay-As-You-Grow** model.
