Packages
& pricing
CAFASuite is licensed per deployment, not per seat — the number of people who need to open a file should not decide how the file is recorded. Every package includes all thirteen core modules; what varies is scale, the add-ons entitled, and the depth of implementation support. Figures are quoted after a short scoping call, because migration from an existing system is the part that genuinely differs between firms.

Common questions
Before you
ask us
Is CAFASuite hosted by you or by us?
Each client runs a private deployment with its own database, on infrastructure you control. We handle installation, upgrades and support against it, but the records live with you. There is no shared multi-tenant store of operational data.
How long does implementation take?
A standard deployment with master-data migration is typically measured in weeks, not months. The variable is your existing system: a clean chart of accounts and a consistent customer register shorten it considerably.
Can you migrate our existing data?
Yes — customers, vendors, chart of accounts, opening balances and historical jobs are the usual scope. We agree the cut-over date up front so the ledger opens balanced on day one.
Is the accounting genuinely double-entry?
Yes. Job expenses, invoices, receipts, pay orders and vendor payments all post to the general ledger, and the trial balance, income statement and reconciliations are read from those postings rather than kept separately.
What happens if we stop the licence?
Your database is yours. We provide a full export in an open format, and we do not withhold data as a commercial lever.
Do the add-ons send our data anywhere?
No. The add-on service is one-directional: reference data — tariffs, rates, tender notices — is delivered to your deployment. Your shipments, customers and figures never leave it.
