1. Can I switch between the models?

Yes. Many clients start with Auto-Pilot and later move to Captain Seat once they’ve built up know-how and capacity—or the other way around.

However, note that stock valuation doesn’t change immediately upon switching. The new model takes effect with the next order, as we work according to the FIFO principle.

2. Do I have access to data and reports in the Auto-Pilot model?

Only partially – SPACEGOATS handles everything. For full transparency, use the Captain Seat model with full access to our Galaxy software.

3. Is there a difference in my margin between the two models?

Auto-Pilot (Just Revenue):

We optimize our margin based on the agreed or predefined purchase prices (wholesale prices).

Captain Seat (Co-Pilot):

We optimize your margin based on the MSRP. Since you retain full control over your products and listings, you make the strategic decisions.

👉 Conclusion:

With Auto-Pilot, you get a “set and forget” model.
