    I'm in the process considering submitting a business plan to a clinic I do some self employed work for. I want to present a proposal for them to purchase an in-shoe pressure system for the clinic and intend to do some significant research, then generate a quick report/business case for it and finally a cost benefit analysis for each system, so they can get an idea of the figures involved.

    I'm not too bothered with comparisons of the differing systems with respect to anything other than the initial/capital costs, and then ongoing/consumer costs. Just need some hard cold numbers.

    If anyone has any of the following in shoe systems and wouldn't mind sharing the initial costs and ongoing annual costs (servicing, insole replacements etc) that would be most helpful. (Alternatively if anyone has already done a similar cost analysis and fancies saving me a job then that would be a right touch as well...)

    Maybe know one here has any of those systems in place?

    If you E-mail the suppliers they will send you a quote for the initial cost, cost of replacements parts and annual license/upgrade fees

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your reply. I wanted to try and avoid contacting all of the suppliers initially for two reasons - (1) To get a feel for the 'real world' ongoing costs i.e. how often replacement sensors are required etc and (2) To avoid constant follow up sales calls from them one I am placed on their 'possibly interested' list.

    But of course its looking like I'm gonna have to go straight to all the suppliers anyway! Find it hard to believe no-one out of over 9000 members has any of these in place??
