360platform is designed with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind — but it's powerful and scalable enough to support even the largest global manufacturers. Whether you're managing a handful of suppliers or thousands, the platform adapts to your operational needs and supply chain complexity.

Pricing is flexible and tailored to your business size and supply chain structure. As a guide:

• Small businesses may pay $4,000–$8,000/year
   
• Medium-sized companies: $10,000–$15,000/year
   
• Large enterprises: $40,000–$60,000/year
   

This makes 360platform the most cost-effective solution on the market — accessible to companies of any size, in any manufacturing sector.

Billing for Google Cloud and BigQuery is usage-based, meaning you only pay for what you use — no flat fees or unnecessary overhead.

Here’s how it works:

• Stored data is billed at $0.02 per GB per month
  
• Processed (queried) data is billed at $0.005 per GB
   

Data is measured in gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB equals 1 billion bytes. Most small and medium-sized companies store and process relatively small volumes of data, so their monthly Google Cloud fees tend to be very low — often under $10–$20/month.

This makes Google Cloud an affordable and highly scalable infrastructure choice for running 360platform.

No — you won’t need to manage BigQuery tables or use advanced functions yourself. Our team takes care of maintaining and updating the databases for you.

For data visualization, 360platform provides a ready-to-use Looker Studio dashboard template with pre-built queries. It’s designed so you can get immediate insights without any setup.

Since the data is hosted in your own Google Cloud account, you still have full access to Looker Studio’s features — giving you the flexibility to customize dashboards and queries if you wish.

In short: no expertise required, but full control if you want it.

Our pricing model is simple, transparent, and designed to scale with your business.

It includes:

• A monthly license fee, based on the selected package
   
• Monthly usage-based billing, tied to your actual system use
   
• Volume discounts for heavy users
   

The system automatically tracks usage and generates invoices each month — so there are no surprises. You only pay for what you use, and the more you use the platform, the more cost-effective it becomes.

This approach ensures fairness, flexibility, and full transparency.

No — pricing and billing are not affected by the number of users.

Whether you have one employee or one hundred using 360platform, your monthly charges remain the same. This ensures you can scale internally without worrying about added costs for additional users.

The platform and all its content (lists, forms, scorecards, etc.) are currently available in the following languages:

- English

- French

- Spanish

Other languages ​​can be easily added.

Suppliers today are overwhelmed with repetitive data requests from downstream customers — often asking for the same information in different formats. This leads to what we call “supply chain fatigue” — wasted time, inconsistent data, and frustration.

At 360platform, we’ve designed a process that makes supply chain disclosure simple, secure, and worthwhile.

• We focus only on specific input materials linked to the products you sell — not your entire operation or your own supply chain in full.
   
• Our platform sends requests to Tier 1 suppliers, asking what materials are used in a product and who supplied them.
   
• This process continues, step-by-step, until the raw material producers are identified.
   
• Suppliers complete standardized online forms, which they can revisit and update anytime.
   

We’ve built in incentives that make engagement beneficial:

• A simple, intuitive interface
   
• Secure document and data sharing
   
• No cost to participate
   
• Ability to reuse the same data for multiple customers — even outside 360platform ecosystem
   
• Support for becoming a preferred supplier through greater transparency
   

Becoming a transparent supplier isn't just about compliance — it's a way to stand out, strengthen your reputation, and unlock new market and financing opportunities.

360platform does not provide in-house consulting services. Instead, we refer our clients to a trusted network of independent experts.
