Cost + timeline + credentials, what does a Magento networking-equipment build actually take?
I quote every job in writing before any work starts. Message me on WhatsApp with a short brief and you get scope, price and timeline within one working day.
Realistic ranges for a B2B networking reseller at $5M, $50M GMV:
- Magento + Hyvä rebuild: depending on scope. Networking-specific scope adds: OEM reseller portal integration, distributor EDI per disti, Magento B2B Quote, ERP integration, refurb catalog.
- 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: 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). 10+ 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.
