What you get

Sample TCO band

3-year

$35M wholesale distributor, BigCommerce + NetSuite

$760K - $1.4M

Most defensible midpoint: $1.05M. Integration is 38% of spend.

Where cost concentrates

Licensing scales with users + integration count. Six connections push you above the platform's base tier.

Watch-out for procurement

Self-implement looks cheaper at signing. Rework on integration scope drives the high band 50%+ above mid.
