That means list every aspect of what your software can do as an individual line item, and price those options. This gives your clients a great way of choosing exactly what they want, and you are more assured of a sell. With this your prices will seem lower than competitors, but you give slightly less function. Adding the whole basket of options you can even make it at a lower price. Also think about user access, whether you are going to charge for an individual user or for the bulk. You must remember that at the end of the day you need to make money from this as well to cover all your costs.
The size and level of integration of the system into your client environment will play a major part in the costing of the business. Unfortunately no one of us will be able to give you a rand value of what your software is worth, only what you must take into consideration when compiling your costing model. Like I said, it's very complicated and time consuming to do, but very integral to the survivability of your company.
