†“8 systems for the price of one” compares $2,999 a month with buying eight separate systems: ERP, CRM and sales, a marketing platform, AI agents, configure-price-quote, quality management, maintenance (CMMS) and warehouse management. Published list prices and outside estimates for leading products, checked Nov 1, 2026, monthly subscriptions only: about $5,800–$12,200 a month for a small company (5–10 users) and about $14,200–$35,400 for a mid-sized one (15–50 users). $2,999 is about 25%–52% and 8%–21% of those totals, and is within or below the estimated price of the ERP alone ($2,000–$4,500 small; $4,000–$12,000 mid-sized). One-time setup and onboarding fees are not included.

From friction to flow
Why growth gets stuck — and how we help.
The friction of growth
- Spreadsheet sprawl creates data silos and blocks automation as the business scales.
- Digital-transformation programs stall without operator-led guidance.
- Disconnected tools mean manual entry, lost context, and no single trusted picture of the customer.
Technology + expertise
- 17 operating partners with 700+ years of combined experience, hands-on at C-level and in implementation.
- Best-fit vendor software selected for your stack — Website, E-com, CRM, CPQ, ERP, PDM, MES, WMS, and more.
- Digital Assistants & automation consulting — bots and digital workers where they fit; a human always approves.
- BMA implements and stays through adoption — optional knowledge / operating layer when it fits (never exclusive).
How we engage software
Vendor software + BMA implementation
BMA sells and implements other vendors’ software. We are not a single-stack software company. We help you choose the right systems for each function, then put operators on the floor until they work — ERP, CRM, CPQ, e-commerce, MES, WMS, automation, and adjacent tools.
- Website & E-commerce
- CRM
- CPQ / Configurator
- ERP
- PDM / CAD / CAM
- MES
- WMS
- Automation
- Digital Assistants
When an owned operating platform helps (for example Max-Knowledge, a Recursive Improvement Platform™ via Got Bots, or proprietary software), we treat it as one option among others — never the only stack. Max-Knowledge Module Pack modules include Max-Strategy, Max-Leadership, Max-Intelligence (competitive analysis), Max-Product-and-CPQ (LIVE), Max-Sales-Marketing, Max-Quality, Max-Learning, Max-Reliability-CMMS, and Max-People.
See the platform behind our work.
Max-Knowledge is a SORI, a System of Record with Intelligence. It turns your plant's know-how into a system that keeps improving.
