Notes from the build.

What shipped, what licensees told us, and where the system is headed.

  1. ComplianceOperations and compliance, every page in the demoEvery page, dialog and write of the first three phases now works in the demo agency. What that covers, area by area, and what comes after it.
  2. PlatformWhy the demo moved into the browserIn two days the demo agency moved twice: first into a branch inside every service, then out of the server altogether. What we got wrong the first time, and why the second answer holds.
  3. ProductThe property is the fileWhy Briesa files the transaction under the property, and every other system does it the other way round.
  4. TrustReconciled by the month, not by the miracleWhat we learned building sales and rentals trust accounting to the NSW rules, and why the audit pack should be an export.

Why you will never pay Briesa per seat

· 1 min read

Per-seat pricing makes hiring a budget conversation. An agency's plan should not punish it for growing.

Per-seat pricing has one honest use: when each additional user costs the vendor materially more to serve. In agency software that is rarely true, and the pricing survives anyway because it converts growth into revenue without shipping anything.

The cost of that is a conversation we have heard too many times. A cadet starts on Monday, and somebody has to decide whether they get an account or share one. That is a bad reason to make a decision about your own office.

Briesa is priced per agency, banded by how many people sign in and how many teams they work in. Properties, engagements, documents and trust movements are unlimited on every plan, because those are the work, not the licence.

Every plan is also the whole system. Compliance is never an upgrade — the registers, the audit log and both trust accounts are on the smallest plan, because a smaller agency does not have smaller obligations.
