Estimate trading partners, message formats, mapping, transport and ERP connectivity for your integration programme.
In brief
The investment range for EDI integration is EUR 23,324 – 260,190 excl. VAT. Partners, message types and ERP depth scale the scope inside that span.
The calculation follows six visible stages. All figures remain planning values until scope and assumptions have been reviewed.
1. Capture inputs
The calculator records the visible project, volume, complexity and operating parameters selected on this page.
2. Add fixed components
Fixed base modules and selected add-ons are added without mixing them with recurring charges.
3. Apply multipliers
Quantity, complexity and scope factors multiply only the cost components identified for them in the calculator model.
4. Create the range
The calculator applies its documented lower and upper uncertainty factors to the base result; ROI views keep investment and savings visible separately.
5. Round and calibrate
Monetary result fields are rounded to the nearest whole euro. Public project-cost components are calibrated with the centrally maintained display factor.
6. Classify the result
The result is shown as non-binding guidance. A binding quote requires scope, data, integrations, risks and acceptance criteria to be reviewed.
Efficiency or discount factor: A central display factor of 0.7 is applied to public project-cost components to keep all calculators aligned with the currently reviewed pricing basis. It is not a customer-specific discount; customer-entered wages, revenues and existing operating costs are not reduced.
Why this is not a binding quote: The calculator cannot verify complete requirements, third-party dependencies, data quality, legal constraints or acceptance criteria.

FAQ
A focused connection for a small partner group often starts EUR 23,324 – 260,190 excl.
VAT after the public cost factor is applied. Message types, partner profiles, ERP changes and operational needs then set the wider investment.
Purchase orders, confirmations, despatch advice and invoices usually make the strongest first case.
A short process review ranks the messages. It uses volume, error cost and current manual effort as criteria.
APIs are useful for timely status and master-data queries.
EDIFACT, XML and industry formats still fit when trading partners ask for proven standards. Those formats also keep B2B processing dependable.
Assess your EDI landscape
We review partners, messages, mappings and ERP connectivity.
A canonical data model keeps internal structures separate from partner-specific mappings.
Version control, test cases and defined error channels then cut the effort of later specification changes.
Mapping, negative, volume, recovery and business end-to-end tests are all needed.
Automated tests pay off especially with many partners or frequent format changes.

| 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.

What does dependable digital B2B connectivity cost?
Interactive estimate based on your inputs.
Non-binding project range from the software cost calculator: EUR 10,332 – 372,623 excl. VAT.
Methodology: The estimates are based on historical project data, complexity drivers and standard implementation assumptions. Results are a non-binding indication only; effort and price must be calculated individually.
