Company Firmographic

Property Security

Secures vacant, foreclosed, and at-risk properties with steel door and window guards.

Recurring Revenue

Monthly recurring revenue model with early evidence of customer price tolerance.

B2B / B2G

Serves private businesses and government entities across multiple customer segments.

Multi-segment GTM

Go-to-market spans construction, bank-owned, and commercial property customer types.

Situation

The company secures vacant, foreclosed, and at-risk properties with steel door and window guards. With a recurring revenue model and early signs customers would tolerate increases, leadership needed a safer way to price by value without slowing quotes.

Company's Challenge

The company had evidence of pricing power, but lacked the research, data structure, and internal confidence to know where increases would hold.

  • Intuition-led pricing with limited segment rules
  • Lump-sum quotes masked panel-level economics
  • Inconsistent data made price variance hard to explain
  • Direct price questions risked disrupting relationships
