Has your software been acquired?
When Private Equity (PE) firms buy public safety software, the priority shifts from saving lives to servicing debt.
The Cycle of Extraction
We've seen it happen time and time again in the industry. A popular tool is bought out, and slowly, things start to change.
1. The Price Hike
The first sign is usually a "restructuring" of pricing. Legacy plans are killed, and costs increase by 20%, 50%, or even 100%. They know switching is hard, so they count on you paying the ransom.
2. The Innovation Freeze
Engineering teams are expensive. To improve margins, development teams are slashed. New features stop appearing. Bugs hang around longer. The software enters "maintenance mode" while the price keeps going up.
3. Sales Over Service
The only department that grows is Sales. You stop hearing from support engineers and start hearing from "Account Managers" who just want to upsell you on modules you don't need.
The Resgrid Promise
We are different. We are independent. We are Open Source.
Open Source Guarantee
Even if Resgrid disappeared tomorrow, the code is yours. You can run it, modify it, and keep using it. Forever.
Customer Owned
We answer to our customers, not a board of investors looking for a 10x exit. Our profit comes from providing value, not extraction.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is public. It's fair. And it's designed to be affordable for volunteer departments, not just massive municipal agencies.
