Service Unit/Group Pricing
|
If you have several troop leaders interested in purchasing TroopManager and BadgeManager we have a special bulk deal we offer to service units or other groups of troop leaders. All service unit team members that are part of the group get a free copy of SUManager Plus.
Very important: the leaders do not have to be in the same service unit. Any combination of leaders can participate! See the "fine print", below.
The price per copy can get very low. Below, the list prices for the products:
 | $30 TroopManager Plus, List Price |
| $15 BadgeManager Plus, List Price |
| $45 TM+BM Bundle...both products together |
Below, the discount schedule for the TM+BM Bundle:

* TroopManager Plus is presently at version 1.6. BadgeManager Plus is presently version 1.2 and a separate add-on product.

All data will be automatically updated.
What's the Catch?
Here's the "fine print" for this deal:
- Your service unit or group writes one check for the total cost. This is
a big savings for us since we don't have to process many individual orders. You can
also use the PayPal
payment service if you'd rather pay via credit card.
- Your service unit or group designates one or more individuals to serve as the first
point of contact for technical support. These individuals attempt
to handle support questions, and forward questions they can't answer to us. This is
another big savings for us since the majority of the technical support questions we get
are pretty simple and can be answered by anyone familiar with the products.
Technical support for SUManger is free and you can contact FSC directly.
Frequently-Asked Questions
| What happens if you're too cautious and commit to a low number but end up needing more? |
What we do is re-calculate your total based on the amount you would have paid if you estimated more accurately. No penalty, no lost opportunity! For example, suppose your service unit or group went for 20 units at a total cost of $450 but ended up needing 30. You only pay the additional difference between the 20 and 30 unit level ($90).
| What happens if you're too optimistic and commit to a high number and don't need all of them? |
Same as above: we re-calculate your total based on the amount you would have paid if you estimated more accurately. For example, suppose your group went with 30 units for a total cost of $540 but ended up needing only 20. We would refund $90 to your group, which is the difference between the 20 and 30 unit level. No penalty, no lost opportunity.
| What about leaders who have already purchased the software prior to this deal? |
We'll refund the difference! Simple as that. Let us know the names of existing customers and how you want to handle the refunds. This offer is limited to a maximum of 50% of the purchase. For example, of you go with the 20 troop level we will only refund up to 10 existing customers.
| How do your troop leaders acquire the products? |
Troop leaders from your group should be instructed to download the products from our web site (Download Page) and evaluate them like any other customer. The 45 day trial period remains in effect.
| What about leaders that have a computer but no Internet access? |
If desired, we will supply a single cd-rom containing the products. This cd-rom can be used by anyone who wants to install the software.
| How are activation codes distributed? |
We like to keep track of the names and e-mail addresses of our customers so we can easily contact everyone for product updates. As troops leaders in the service unit or group decide to participate in the program, all they need to do is send an e-mail to FSC@tds.net and mention the name of the service unit or group leader's name. We'll send out the activation codes.
We're happy to provide lists of leader names who received activation codes, so the service unit or group leader can double-check that everyone who wants to participate has received codes.
| Is there a time limit for troop leaders to participate? |
No time limit: we know that some leaders will jump on this immediately while others will hold back and wait to hear about other's experiences. Your service unit or group can take as long as necessary to enlist leaders to participate.
| What about updates and bug fixes? |
Customers who are part of a service unit or group deal are treated no differently than any other customer: all updates and other services are free.
| Still more questions? |
Don't hesitate to contact us at FSC@tds.net. We'll be happy to explain anything in more detail, or answer any questions you might have.
