Migration Roadmap.

The Migration Roadmap is a fixed price, confirmed on a single discovery call before the engagement starts — no hourly billing, no open-ended discovery, no scope drift. One call is enough because the scope is productized: the deliverables, the four-week duration, and the working sessions are the same for every engagement, so the only variables we need to confirm are the size of your catalog, the number of systems in your integration landscape, and the complexity of your B2B operations. You know the full cost before you commit a dollar, and the price does not move during the engagement. That structure is deliberate. The Roadmap exists to de-risk a six-figure replatforming decision, and it would be a strange way to start that relationship by billing you into an estimate that keeps moving. Book a call through the contact form and we will confirm the number on the spot.

No. The Roadmap is deliberately vendor-agnostic: the platform-fit assessment, data migration map, integration architecture, SEO plan, and budget are yours to keep and detailed enough for any competent agency or internal team to execute. That independence is what makes the assessment honest — we are not writing a plan whose only purpose is to sell you the build. Our Bicycles Quilicot engagement worked exactly this way: an eCommerce audit and a Magento-to-Shopify Plus migration roadmap, delivered as a standalone piece of work. That said, most clients do continue with us, because the team that mapped every data flow and priced every workstream starts the build with zero ramp-up. If you continue, the Roadmap becomes the working plan for the migration; if you do not, you still leave with the full document set and a plan you own outright.

On the source side: Magento and Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, WooCommerce, and legacy custom builds — the platforms we cover in our replatforming guides and have migrated merchants from. On the destination side, our platform is Shopify Plus, and the platform-fit assessment is scored against it honestly: what your operation gets natively, what needs an app, and what requires custom development, each with its cost implication. Honest matters here — if the assessment shows Shopify Plus is a poor fit for your operation, the Roadmap says so, and you will have paid a fixed fee to avoid a seven-figure mistake. We have shipped production B2B on BigCommerce with SAP as well as on Shopify Plus, so the assessment is written by a team that knows what the alternatives actually deliver, not one that has only ever seen one platform.

Three things, none of them heavy. First, an internal owner — one person who can answer questions about your pricing logic, customer structures, and operational workflows, and who can pull the right colleagues into two or three working sessions across the month. Second, access: read-level access to your current platform, plus exports or documentation for your ERP or PIM data flows — we work with what exists, including spreadsheets. Third, availability for the week-four walkthrough, where we present the Roadmap in a working session rather than emailing a document. Plan for two to four hours of your team’s time per week. Everything else — the audits, the mapping, the redirect inventory, the budget modeling — happens on our side. Most clients have the inputs ready within the first week, and cleaner inputs simply make week one close faster.

A free proposal is a sales document: produced in days, scoped from the outside, and priced to win the work — which is why replatforming budgets built on proposals so often move after signature. The Roadmap is the opposite in every dimension. It is four weeks of actual analysis with access to your systems: every data domain mapped, every ERP and PIM flow documented, every URL inventoried, every workstream priced. It is fixed-price, so the analysis is the product rather than the bait. And it is vendor-agnostic, so the recommendation does not have to flatter us — including the platform-fit assessment, which will tell you if Shopify Plus is the wrong destination. The practical difference shows up mid-build: projects planned at proposal depth surprise you in month three; projects planned at Roadmap depth already had the surprise, on paper, before you committed.
