Cost + timeline + credentials, what does a Magento networking-equipment build actually take?

Realistic ranges for a B2B networking reseller at $5M, $50M GMV:

• Magento + Hyvä rebuild: $30k, $120k depending on scope. Networking-specific scope adds: OEM reseller portal integration ($5k, $15k per OEM, Cisco CCW is the biggest), distributor EDI per disti ($8k, $20k per distributor for the first 2, then ~$4k each), Magento B2B Quote ($3k, $8k for native + customization), ERP integration ($15k, $60k for SAP / Oracle / NetSuite), refurb catalog ($4k, $10k).
• Timeline: 10-20 weeks for a typical mid-market reseller. Faster (8 weeks) if SKU count is small and design is preserved; longer (24-36 weeks) for multi-region + ERP + multi-distributor in scope.
• Hosting: $600, $2,500/mo on Cloudways / dedicated / AWS. B2B traffic is steady (no drop spikes like fashion), but search-heavy with deep catalogs, OpenSearch / Elasticsearch tuning matters.
• Ongoing: $2k, $6k/mo retainer for OEM portal recerts (Cisco/Juniper/Aruba/Fortinet revoke status if certs lapse), distributor catalog sync monitoring, ERP sync alerting, and quarterly tier-pricing adjustments.

Credentials: Adobe-Certified Magento Developer (both M2 Developer + Hyvä Frontend Developer exams passed). 8+ years building Magento for B2B IT commerce specifically. Reference list of resellers, MSPs, and distributors shipped, available under NDA on the consult call. Hyvä Solution Partner. Cisco Network-Cabling-Layer-1 background (years 2014-2018 before pivoting full-time to Magento) so I speak the gear language, not just the e-commerce one.
