Case Study · Safety Monitoring Platform

80% larger deals, same product.

Rep-by-rep pricing replaced with platform tiers. Deal sizes jumped at launch, and reps started raising prices on their own.

Published July 28, 2026

Problem

A hardware-plus-software safety monitoring platform selling into several distinct verticals. Pricing varied by rep. User packs confused buyers. One segment said they'd pay 5 to 10x more for the software but choked on hardware budgets.

Method

Weekly working sessions. Customer interviews across every vertical. Unit economics rebuilt, then a CPQ designed around the actual sales flow.

Solution

Simplified to platform tiers based on features and location count. A premium for project-based use. User packs demoted to a tier add-on.

Impact

Average deal size up 80% on the new model at launch. Reps raising prices without being asked.

Outcome

80% higher average deal size at launch.
