Five-year platform cost

Work out your 5-year platform cost

Approximate gross online sales revenue per year.

What percentage of each sale the platform or gateway takes. On SaaS this is usually the largest and fastest-growing line.

The real cost of an open-source or custom platform: a developer or agency, updates, fixes and small changes. Usually the biggest line, and the easiest to forget.

Operations and automation

The real cost of a platform is not just the subscription, it is the hours of running it. Automation and AI in BEAM take a chunk of that work off your plate: catalog sync, order handling and statuses, e-invoicing, ERP/WMS integrations, generated descriptions and customer support. You can change the values below.
