The Brains contains all the information that is needed to publish content through all the 20 Points Of Purchase. The brains consist of three parts, the so called jobs:
1) a database
2) a management information system
3) an operation system
The information in the brains data base contains standard information about us, location, product, market place, etc. It also contains purchase information such as the amount of purchases and the costs per purchase. The database contains all this information per Point Of Purchase and per promotion.
With the management information system, this information is published on dashboards.
You have the option to issue a promotion and publish it immediately through either all 20 Points Of Purchase or a limited set of Points Of Purchase. On top of that, you can individually issue promotions per Point Of Purchase.
A Point Of Purchase is a place where a prospect can buy the preferred brand. At each Point Of Purchase the prospect uses its senses to come to a purchase. There are 20 Points Of Purchase:
1) Social media (Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Pinterest): see, hear
2) E-zines: see, hear

No, in that case you only have to buy the FaceValue subscription. However, if you want to extend usage with users within or related to your company who are not using the Salesforce CRM subscription, you do have to buy both.
FaceValue is restricted to the terms and conditions of Salesforce. The Salesforce CRM subscriptions are paid for a 12 month period up front.
Following the simple design principle, FaceValue would follow this payment term. However, on the cash position of small companies, FaceValue decided to overrule the simple design principle and charge the user per month.
No. FaceValue puts your brand in the best possible position to generate purchases, as is demonstrated by the numerous FaceValue brand succes stories and the score on the more than 200 KPI's. If purchases do not materialize, the content and/or the promotional offers have to be changed. Ultimately, if after fine tuning the content and promotional offer purchases still don't materialize, the brand fundamentals have to be reviewed.
No. The FaceValue pricing is the lowest possible continuously. FaceValue will add functionalities and will do its utmost to prevent price increases to fund this. So basically, the price of the FaceValue app will decrease every release.
On top of that, FaceValue is priced far below alternative solutions. We call it alternative solutions as the unique FaceValue app has no direct competitors. Hence, a direct comparison is not possible.
Alternatives are apps that cover only part of what the FaceValue app offers, hence creating inefficiency and non-value added cost.
To keep the FaceValue organization simple, we therefore avoid complex pricing as a result of rebates. We prefer to bring the price down for every user.
You can find the user guide by following this link https://tinyurl.com/FaceValue-Application-Guide.
No. The FaceValue app is operational only in conjunction with the Salesforce CRM app.
The environment of your BV is owned by you. Nobody else has access to this. There are possibilities to export data, but that is completely your choice.

We offer FaceValue separately from the Salesforce subscription. In order to install FaceValue, you’ll need both a Salesforce Enterprise edition, which costs €75 per user per month, and a FaceValue subscription, which costs €180 per user per month (this includes a Skuid license). This makes for a total of €255 a month. Salesforce Enterprise edition is designed to meet the needs of large and complex businesses. Enterprise Edition orgs gets advanced customisation and administration tools, such as Enterprise territory management, workflow automation, full profiles, page layouts, Salesforce CPQ and report history tracking.

All relevant wishes and requirements of the users are implemented. Therefore, the product we release every month is an improved version of the month before.
FaceValue has the conviction that all whishes and requirements of users are an opportunity to improve the product and/or company.
FaceValue appreciates a wish, requirement or complaint as it will improve the product for all of us.
No, FaceValue is used by both large and small companies. For small companies and start-ups, the benefits of being able to manage the branding and business development singlehandedly are even more valid compared to large companies.
Large companies have a national branding and business development team taking care of loading the brains, fine-tuning the FaceValue brain content and FaceValue app, based on the results and launching national promotional offers.
On top of that, large companies cover each Point of Purchase with a team, launching promotional offers at their respective Point of Purchase and finding the promotional offers based on results.
