It took him 15-20 days of work for one unit. won't it take him much less time for each unit if he would build them in quantity ?

- khill 17y agoI would think the kiosk needs to be integrated into the library's primary catalog software database. If other libraries use different catalog software, he would need to do integration work for those other types of catalog systems. The economies of scale would still apply but it's probably more involved than just churning out kiosks.
- ippisl 17y agoThat's a good point. Maybe you know how many different catalog systems re used commonly in libraries?
- bensummers 17y agoThere are many (20+ main ones), and they're all horrid dinosaurs.
- patio11 17y agoIt takes us X% less time to create the 2nd and subsequent units relative to the first, and we charge Y% less money for them. They are certainly not 60/20 but if you're thinking in that general direction you understand custom software development pretty well.
