Comparative Costs

Normally, the purchase of a sophisticated computer system like Wrist would involve a considerable initial outlay and then a percentage-based monthly support contract. Although this initial outlay can be financed and spread over a period of time, this obviously affects the cash flow considerably.

However Trio's Wrist application, with minimal initial costs and a very reasonable monthly support contract, can prove to be a very effective solution. Take a look at this cost guide for a typical 5-user system:
