What's the typical breakeven point for MedusaJS migration?

Most mid-sized eCommerce operations break even in 8-14 months. The exact timeline depends on your current monthly costs and migration scope. We’ve had clients with high plugin and hosting expenses break even in 6 months, while simpler setups take 12-18 months. Our TCO analysis shows your specific breakeven point before you commit.

How do you ensure migration stays on budget?

Fixed-scope phases with transparent pricing. We document all requirements upfront, identify potential complexities during discovery, and provide detailed estimates for each phase. Our 100% on-time delivery record means we’ve mastered accurate scoping. You’ll never get surprise invoices for ‘unforeseen work’, we surface issues early when they’re manageable.

Can we really get German engineering quality at Bangkok development rates?

Yes. Our Frankfurt office handles strategy, architecture, and quality assurance using German standards. Our Bangkok team executes development with 40-50% cost efficiency compared to Western European rates. You get the precision and reliability you’d expect from a German firm at rates that make migration ROI compelling. This model has served enterprise clients across 12+ industries.

What ongoing costs should we expect after migration?

Predictable hosting (typically 50-70% less than managed WooCommerce/Shopify), optional support retainer (far less than current agency fees), and infrastructure scaling as you grow. Unlike plugin-dependent platforms, MedusaJS includes advanced features standard, no subscription stack. Most clients spend 60% less monthly post-migration while getting better performance and more flexibility.

What if our costs don't decrease as projected?

We stand behind our TCO analysis. If we project specific savings, we show exactly where they come from: eliminated plugin fees, reduced hosting costs, lower maintenance hours. We document these assumptions and track actual results. Our 94% client retention rate exists because our cost projections prove accurate. If something changes during migration that affects ROI, we address it immediately, not at invoice time.

Cut Your eCommerce Total Cost of Ownership by 40%+

Predictable Costs, Superior Performance

Your eCommerce platform shouldn't drain your budget every quarter. Yet between managed hosting fees, premium plugin subscriptions, security patches, and emergency maintenance calls, the costs keep climbing. What started as an affordable WooCommerce or Shopify setup now consumes resources that should fuel growth. DBot Software helps ambitious companies eliminate these hidden costs through strategic MedusaJS migration—delivering enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of traditional platform expenses.

/The Challenge/

Why Your Current Platform Costs Keep Rising

Every month brings another invoice. Premium plugins for basic functionality. Managed hosting upgrades to handle traffic spikes. Developer hours patching security vulnerabilities. Agency fees for performance optimization. One client came to us spending €4,800 monthly on WooCommerce infrastructure alone—before counting development costs. The real problem isn't the sticker price; it's the unpredictability. You can't forecast next year's costs when every growth milestone triggers another upgrade cycle. Meanwhile, your competitors on modern headless platforms scale efficiently without proportional cost increases.

/Our Approach/

The Financial Impact of Staying Put

Continuing on legacy platforms means accepting 15-25% annual cost inflation as your business grows. That's budget allocated to infrastructure instead of marketing, product development, or hiring. Over three years, the cost differential between traditional platforms and modern headless commerce reaches six figures for mid-sized operations. But there's another cost: opportunity. While you're debugging plugin conflicts and managing vendor relationships, competitors with streamlined tech stacks ship features faster and capture market share. The choice isn't whether to modernize—it's whether to do it strategically now or reactively later when the pressure is greater.

/Why DBot/

German Engineering Standards, Asian Execution Efficiency

DBot Software brings financial discipline to platform migration. As an official MedusaJS Expert Partner with offices in Frankfurt and Bangkok, we combine German cost-benefit analysis with Asian development efficiency. Our 100% on-time delivery record means your migration stays on budget. Our 94% client retention rate reflects sustained cost savings that justify the initial investment. We don't just move your store—we architect a solution that reduces your three-year TCO by 40% or more while improving performance.

Transparent, Predictable Cost Structure

With a 94% client retention rate built on financial transparency, we show you exactly where savings come from. MedusaJS eliminates plugin subscription stacks—features like multi-currency, advanced pricing rules, and API integrations are included. Hosting costs become predictable with modern containerized infrastructure that scales efficiently. Our clients typically see 50-60% reduction in monthly platform expenses within six months of migration, with costs remaining stable as they grow.

Complete Financial Analysis and ROI Modeling

We document every current cost: hosting tiers, plugin licenses, maintenance contracts, developer hours, performance optimization, security monitoring. Then we model your MedusaJS TCO across 36 months, accounting for migration investment, new infrastructure, and ongoing support. You'll see the breakeven point (typically 8-14 months) and cumulative savings. Our DD Bricks client achieved $500,000 annual savings while adding B2B functionality that would have cost another $200,000 on their old platform.

Future-Proof Architecture That Grows Efficiently

MedusaJS headless architecture means infrastructure costs scale linearly—not exponentially—with your growth. Add new sales channels without platform fees. Launch in new markets without regional hosting premiums. Integrate with ERP or CRM systems without middleware licensing. Our agile approach ensures you build exactly what you need, when you need it, eliminating the waste of one-size-fits-all platform packages that charge for features you'll never use.
