description: >-
  FinOps view of Tillpoint spend. Tillpoint is a fixed, recurring SaaS
  subscription rather than a usage-metered API - cost scales with the number of
  registers/terminals and locations, not with API calls or data volume (there is
  no public API to meter). The dominant cost driver is the per-register monthly
  subscription, plus any Multi-store plan for additional locations and terminals.
  All modules are bundled, so there are no per-module add-on charges to allocate.
notes: >-
  Because Tillpoint publishes no usage-based API pricing, this FinOps view treats
  spend as a predictable recurring subscription. Per-unit rates vary by region
  (GBP/USD) and billing term and are not reconciled here. Verify on tillpoint.com.

- name: Visibility
  description: Track the number of active registers and locations - spend is a direct function of terminal and location count, not API usage.
- name: Allocation
  description: Map each register/location subscription to the store or cost center it serves.
- name: Optimization
  description: Right-size the number of active terminals and choose Single Store vs Multi-store plans; prefer annual billing where the discount applies; all modules are bundled so there is nothing to trim at the module level.
- name: Accountability
  description: Assign an owner per location; review active-register counts monthly against the subscription invoice.
