These days, you hear a lot about ‘return on investment’ (ROI) or ‘payback time’. These are ways of expressing both how long it will take you to recoup your up front investment in a product or service and what sort of return you can expect after having recouped your initial investment.
DraftLogic Electrical and Return on Investment
DraftLogic Electrical is amazing by any measure of ROI or payback time. We conservatively estimate that DraftLogic Electrical will make its users twice as effective. In reality, our benchmark test proved a productivity gain of thirteen times on a typical school drawing.
So for your engineering stars that generate 150K+ in billing per annum, we empower them to produce a minimum of 300K+ and up to two million per annum—a payback time of a month at most per seat and a first year ROI of 1200% to 18500%!
This is vastly different than most or all other investments you have made in software where the payback time has been measured in years or could not be measured because your net productivity didn’t change.

Cost Per Seat
Like the AutoCAD it is built upon, DraftLogic Electrical is sold per seat. As we do not offer a license server, each DraftLogic Electrical is for a named user (i.e. you cannot draw from a pool of licenses). The cost per seat is $9,950, with an annual maintenance requirement of $1,800 per year. The first maintenance payment is due by the one year anniversary of original purchase. The annual maintenance fee pays for ongoing use of the software plus any maintenance releases. Licenses for new products (i.e. a new and separate application) or new versions of existing products that include material new functionality are not included in the maintenance fee.
DraftLogic invoices at net terms for 30-120 days depending on your purchase size and product/service mix. All license purchases and training attendee costs will be invoiced at net 120 days, other items like maintenance fees and training disbursements shall be invoiced at net 30 days terms. After the net terms days are expired, all accounts will either be charged 2% per month interest on overdue amounts or have their licenses terminated at DraftLogic’s discretion.
Training
In order to ensure that all our users can take full advantage of what DraftLogic Electrical offers, training is compulsory. Users can come to our offices for training, or we can come to yours. From time to time we may also offer training sessions at central locations in North America to minimize travel for new users from several different companies.
Training is a full three days and that does not include any breaks for checking in on regular work. We thus strongly recommend that attendees be sequestered away from their regular work to ensure they can focus on the training session.
The cost of the training per user at our site or via WebEx is $1,500. At central locations the cost will be somewhat higher to cover our facilities and travel costs. To have a session run at your offices for one to six users, the cost is $3,600 plus any disbursements at cost (meals, accommodations, travel).
Support
Your initial purchase and annual maintenance include five free support incidents per year. As per our counterparts in delivering software support, we define an incident as assisting you with one particular question/issue regardless of how much or little of our time it takes to resolve that question/issue.
Extra support incidents will be billed at $75 per incident.
