What drives the price

Scope, integrations, compliance, and user count affect final quotes more than hourly rates alone.

  • Number of modules and user roles
  • GST, Tally, payment gateway, and logistics integrations
  • Mobile apps and offline field force requirements
  • Migration from legacy spreadsheets or old ERP
  • Post-launch SLA and hosting

Timeline expectations

Most projects run 8–20 weeks in phased milestones with weekly demos. Rush timelines increase cost 15–30%.

Key challenges we solve

Quotes without discovery

Vendors quoting ₹2L for ERP without site visit usually exclude integrations you'll need later.

Per-hour vs milestone pricing

Hourly billing creates scope creep; milestone pricing aligns incentives.

Hidden license costs

Off-the-shelf platforms add per-user fees that exceed custom build TCO within 2–3 years.

Recommended approach

  1. 1Use our Software Cost Calculator for a ballpark
  2. 2Book discovery for a fixed-scope milestone quote
  3. 3Compare 3-year TCO vs SaaS alternatives
  4. 4Start with one module, expand by ROI proof
