“So right now, our average annual contract value is about $4,400.”
“So those customers are still there, and so they are still significantly, keeping the average down, I'll say.”
“currently, we've got a 155, companies. We're at about 650 in annual recurring revenue. We purchased one of our competitors, Safety Tech, rolled them in in June, and, did about a 180 degree pivot in our product and went from a very rigid, system to now that was very designed for those smaller companies. That's why the contract value is so low to now where, you know, putting out proposals and and and signing contracts that are anywhere from, you know, 20 to 60,000 a year.”
