$750–$1,500 Integration Check
Current workflow, systems, access, risks, recommendation, and defined build boundary.
Pricing and scope
Pay first for clarity, then approve the build.
Software integration pricing depends on the actual systems and operating boundary. Results Innovations avoids pretending that every two-app connection is the same project.
The pricing sequence
One decision at a time.
The number of application logos is not the cost model. Access, data, branching, risk, proof, and ownership determine the work.
Separate implementation proposal
Outcome, systems, logic, validation, exclusions, responsibilities, and price.
Optional ongoing responsibility
Monitoring, incident response, maintenance, and improvements receive their own boundary.
01
Integration Check: $750–$1,500
The diagnostic price depends on the number of systems, workflow complexity, availability of vendor information, and amount of stakeholder or access review required. The exact amount is confirmed before the assessment begins.
The deliverable includes the current-state inventory, broken-handoff map, integration feasibility, major risks, recommended approach, and implementation scope.
02
Implementation is scoped after diagnosis
A build can range from a focused connection between two supported applications to a custom service coordinating several systems, databases, approvals, and exception queues. Quoting before the technical path is known either hides assumptions or forces an inflated risk buffer into the price.
The implementation quote defines the outcome, systems, data, logic, environment, validation, documentation, support, exclusions, and completion criteria.
03
What changes the implementation price
The number of visible screens is not a reliable measure of integration work. The strongest cost drivers are the access and reliability requirements beneath the workflow.
- Number and quality of supported integration points
- Data cleanup, matching, and duplicate rules
- Legacy systems or vendor coordination
- Number of branches, approvals, and exceptions
- Authentication, permission, security, and hosting requirements
- Consequences of missing, duplicating, or misrouting an event
- Testing, migration, documentation, monitoring, and support depth
04
Ongoing support is optional
A stable low-risk workflow may be handed off after documentation. An important integration may need monitoring, vendor-change maintenance, incident response, reconciliation, or periodic improvement.
Support is priced according to the agreed responsibility and response expectations. Maintenance should not be used as an undefined promise to perform unlimited future development.
05
How to reduce unnecessary cost
Choose one painful handoff, identify the accountable owner, preserve the software that already works, and prove the smallest useful end-to-end result. Avoid combining every desired automation into the first scope.
Clear access to system documentation, representative records, and the people who understand exceptions can also reduce discovery and rework.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you provide a fixed price before the Integration Check?
A truly simple and well-documented request may be estimated directly, but most custom integration work should be inspected before a responsible fixed scope is promised.
Is the Integration Check credited toward implementation?
That is not a universal promise. The assessment is a separate useful deliverable. Any commercial credit or package arrangement must be stated in the specific proposal.
Do you charge by the hour?
Projects are preferably defined around outcomes and completion criteria. Hourly or time-based support may be appropriate for investigation, maintenance, or work where the boundary cannot responsibly be fixed.
Are software subscriptions included?
Third-party subscriptions, vendor fees, hosting, usage charges, and paid connectors are identified separately unless a proposal explicitly includes them.
Start with one handoff
The first purchase is a clear decision, not a vague build promise.
Request an Integration Check for the handoff that is costing the operation the most.
