FAQ
B2B order portal costs
Order portal budget
What does a B2B order portal cost?
A portal with list prices and a simple catalogue starts at around EUR 24,000–45,000 excl. VAT. With customer prices, variants and ERP integration, projects run EUR 50,000–120,000. Calculated at EUR 140/hour – Made in Germany from Leer, East Frisia.
When does an own order portal beat EDI-only?
EDI stays efficient for large accounts. A portal reaches the long tail: smaller partners order 24/7 without phone and Excel. Often portal and EDI complement each other – same order pipeline in the ERP.
What makes complex pricing more expensive?
Customer prices (+30%) and tiers/contracts (+55%) need clean condition models and tests. Benefit: fewer manual quotes and consistent discounts across channels.

Catalogue & ERP
What does Punchout (OCI / cXML) cost?
Punchout (from about EUR 8,500) embeds your portal in customer procurement systems. That is often required by large buyers – and avoids duplicate catalogue maintenance.
Do I need approval workflows in the order portal?
Approvals (from about EUR 4,800) mirror internal purchasing rules of customers or your organisation. Without them, rework and cancellations rise – especially with budget limits and role models.
How long does a B2B order portal rollout take?
MVP with list prices in 10–14 weeks; full conditions and ERP sync need 4–7 months. Onboard pilot customers first, then roll out the rest.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
