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). Ten 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.
