Ownership model

What is actually yours.

What is yours

  • Your data, fully exportable
    Download everything, anytime. No vendor holds your history hostage.
  • A perpetual, escrow-backed licence
    Your contract includes a source-code escrow clause: the code is deposited with an independent escrow agent before go-live, so your access is contractually protected even if Rollout IT ever stops trading.
  • Your own isolated instance
    Separate servers, separate database, separate backups. Not shared infrastructure.

How the model stays fair

  • Platform IP stays with Rollout IT
    That is what keeps your build cost low and improvements flowing. You are not buying the source code, and you do not need to.
  • No per-seat. Price fixed for 10 years.
    Add your whole team for free. Your fee is locked from day one, no annual hikes.
  • We build it and run it
    Security patches, uptime, scaling: all covered by the flat annual fee. No developer retainer needed on your side.

What you keep from Firefish Software

The features your team actually uses — scoped with you before the build — on infrastructure your team controls.

  • ATS with job workflow
  • Recruitment CRM
  • Job board multi-posting (1,000+ boards)
  • Email / SMS candidate engagement
  • Candidate portal
  • Agency website CMS

What we fix

The pain points that come with renting per-seat SaaS, gone on day one.

  • €90–115/recruiter/month cleared: one flat annual fee replaces per-seat billing across your whole agency.
  • Job board multi-posting kept: your integrations across 1,000+ boards rebuilt as part of your system.
  • ATS database and candidate pipeline fully yours: exportable anytime, no vendor holds your history.
  • Agency website CMS included: your branded job site on your own system, not a shared vendor platform.
  • Annual renewal negotiations ended: founding-member pricing fixed for 10 years.
