Schwade plans

Start with the foundation. Add what fits.

Schwade by BP Systems Consulting is our managed records and business application service. One progression, three stages: organize your records first, add the application when you want your team working from one place, and layer on industry workflows when the business is ready. Schwade is the German word for the row a field is raked into so the harvest can be gathered. That is what we do with your records.

Schwade plans · three stages, in order

Organize the foundation. Operate from one system. Automate and specialize.

Start with the foundation. Add the application and advanced capabilities when your business is ready for them.

  1. Data Foundation

    Organize the foundation.

    Turn scattered business information into a structured foundation your business owns.

    Setup starts at $1,500 and moves up with the volume of records, the type and condition of the sources, OCR requirements, how access is granted, how many systems are involved, and how much reconciliation the records need.

How the engagement works

From scattered files to one working system

Five steps, in order. You know the scope and the price before any records are touched.

  1. Data assessment

    We look at where your records live now: paper files, spreadsheets, email, shared drives, accounting software, photos, and whatever else has accumulated. This is what sets the scope and the setup price.

  2. Scope and implementation plan

    You get a written plan covering what gets organized, in what order, what it costs, and what we need from you. Nothing starts before you agree to it.

  3. Organization and migration

    We digitize, sort, and file your records into a consistent structure inside your own Google Workspace, reconciling duplicates and conflicting versions as we go.

  4. Workflow and application setup

    We set up the forms, workflows, and application access your team will use day to day, shaped around how your business already works.

  5. Training, launch, and ongoing improvement

    We train your team, launch, and stay on to adjust things as you use them. Improvements continue after go-live rather than stopping at it.

The assessment is what determines your setup scope. It identifies record quality, access, provider, security, and workflow requirements before anyone quotes a number.

Ownership and control

It stays your business, and your information

A long-term technology partner should be easy to leave. That is what makes it worth staying with.

  • You own what we organize

    Your records are organized inside your own Google Workspace, on your domain, in accounts that stay in your name.

  • Documented access, not control

    Provider accounts you control stay yours. We work through documented administrative access rather than holding the keys ourselves.

  • A clean way out

    Standard exports and an administrative handoff are available when you offboard. Nothing is held hostage to keep you subscribed.

  • Terms you can read in a minute

    The first year is an annual plan and your 3 onboarding months are free. After that you can renew, switch to monthly, or give 30 days' notice. You get all of it in writing before anything starts.

Schwade plans: the commercial details, in plain terms

  • Setup starts at $1,500, due when you sign.
  • The first year is an annual plan, and your 3 onboarding months are free as an introductory offer. Your first-year payment is due at handoff, when onboarding ends.
  • After the first year your plan renews annually and you save the cost of two months, or you can switch to month to month.
  • Every plan includes Google Workspace with 2 accounts. Additional Workspace users are $20 per user per month.
  • Schwade Core and Schwade Advanced include online payments at 4.5% per online payment, minimum $1, with Stripe's processing fees included.
  • Prices include applicable sales tax.
  • Provider usage, unusually large migrations, bespoke development, and work outside the agreed scope can cost extra.
  • Existing customers can move up a service level without paying another standard setup fee.
