## What is blueBox? ## What is blueBox?
blueBox is digiBandit's all-in-one IT solution for small and mid-sized businesses. Instead of juggling multiple vendors for your server, website, business software, and IT support, blueBox bundles everything into a single managed package. It's everything your business needs to run, from one provider. Instead of paying four different companies and hoping they talk to each other, you pay us once and we handle the server, the website, the business tools, and the ongoing support.
We build it. We host it. We manage it. You focus on running your business. We build it. We run it. We fix it when it breaks. You run your business.

## Frequently Asked Questions ## Common Questions
**What size business is blueBox for?** **What size business is this for?**
Businesses with 5-50 employees across most industries outside of heavily regulated sectors. 5 to 50 employees. Works for most industries - transportation, construction, trades, professional services, retail. We don't do healthcare or legal where there's heavy compliance requirements.
**Do I need to buy new computers?** **Do I need new computers?**
Not necessarily. We assess your existing hardware and only recommend replacements where needed. Probably not. We look at what you have and only suggest replacing machines that genuinely can't keep up.
**What about my existing software (QuickBooks, Office, etc.)?** **What about QuickBooks / Office 365 / etc?**
blueBox integrates with your existing tools. We don't replace what's working - we fill the gaps and add what's missing. We don't rip out what's working. Your existing software stays. We fill in the gaps around it.
**Can I start with just one component?** **Do I need all four pieces?**
Yes. While the full stack delivers the most value, you can start with any individual component and add more later. No. Start with what you need most and add the rest later.
**What happens if I need on-site help?** **On-site visits?**
On-site visits are available at $125/hour. Most issues are resolved remotely, but we're local and available. $90 per visit plus mileage over 50km. Most stuff gets handled remotely.
**Is there a contract?** **Contract?**
We recommend a 12-month commitment for full deployment and optimization, but we don't lock you in with punitive terms. 12-month term, billed monthly, price locked. 90 days notice to cancel, no penalties.
