B2B Platform Selection Scorecard
Every platform demo looks great. The question is which one fits how your business actually sells: your pricing rules, your accounts, your integrations, and your budget over three years, not just the license fee.
This scorecard turns a platform decision from a gut call into a weighted comparison you can defend to your team.
What this guide covers
Weight what matters to you
A platform is only right relative to your requirements. Score against your weights, not a generic list.
- B2B pricing, company accounts, and approval workflows
- Catalog size and complexity
- The integrations you cannot live without
- Your team is ability to run it day to day
Compare total cost of ownership
License price is the smallest number. Score the full three-year cost.
- License and hosting over three years
- Build and migration cost
- Apps and extensions to fill gaps
- Ongoing maintenance and support
Check integration and scale fit
The platform has to fit your systems and your growth, not the other way around.
- ERP, PIM, and CRM integration paths
- API quality and rate limits
- Headroom for catalog and traffic growth
- Headless and composable options
Score it as a team
Bring the decision out of one person is head.
- A shared scoring template
- Named owners per criterion
- A weighted total, not a vibe
- A documented rationale for the choice
