Summary

A starting price is not a universal price for every system. Data sources, integrations, access rights, exceptions, and handover requirements all need clarification before quotations can be compared.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: One party wants to connect a single file; another needs multiple roles and integrations. Both call it automation, leaving the buyer confused about the prices. To compare, they first need to define the same scope.

Three steps you can try

  1. Count data sources and integrations.
  2. Document permissions and exceptions.
  3. Define handover and support.

What to remember

A starting price is not a universal price for every system. Data sources, integrations, access rights, exceptions, and handover requirements all need clarification before quotations can be compared.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
