Build vs Buy
Owning the build means owning every change.
Every new source, supplier, rule and destination becomes another integration, test or change your team owns.
Total cost
Count the lifetime cost, not just the build.
- Integrations.
- Schemas.
- Field mapping.
- Validation services.
- Supplier changes.
- Routing logic.
- Policy updates.
- User access.
- Logging.
- Reporting.
- Testing.
- Monitoring.
- Documentation.
- Support.
- Security.
- New markets.
- New channels.
The real cost
The cost compounds across engineering and operations.
01
Engineering time.
Every change is built, tested and shipped by your team.
02
Operational headcount.
People carry the work the system does not.
03
Manual work around the system.
Spreadsheets and inboxes fill the gaps.
04
Key-person dependency.
The knowledge leaves when the person does.
05
Slower change.
Every new source waits in a backlog.
06
Opportunity cost.
Engineering time spent here is not spent on your product.
The alternative
Stop maintaining the whole workflow yourself.
Convertr brings connectivity, data checks, enrichment, policy, routing, delivery and evidence into one managed workflow. Start with the problem creating the clearest cost. Expand from there.
