Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (Facility Management Platform): CoDMON operates as a subscription-based SaaS platform. Facilities pay recurring subscription fees to access the platform. Pricing varies by facility size, type, and number of selected modules/functions. The company emphasizes 'facility-adapted function selection' indicating modular pricing. No pricing is publicly disclosed on the website.
2. Equipment / Device Rental: CoDMON offers iPad and iPhone rental services to facilities that do not own compatible devices, supporting one unit rentals. This provides a supplementary hardware revenue stream and lowers adoption barriers.
3. Contact Book Binding / Print Products: Physical binding/printing service for digital communication diaries, converting digital records into physical books that parents can keep as keepsakes. This is a physical product add-on to the digital platform.
