  • post-go-live operations and support are unclear
  • ongoing licence or third-party costs are missing
  • client-side contribution is underestimated
  • work can later become change requests

  • Inventory
  • Customers
  • Returns

RISK

QUESTION TO RESOLVE

SECOND OPINION

Why seek a second opinion?

Your internal team knows the business. The agency knows its delivery approach. CommerceDue adds an independent project perspective to both.

CommerceDue does not replace internal expertise and does not make blanket judgments about agencies. The aim is to make ambiguity and risk visible before an engagement is approved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does CommerceDue review Shopware, Shopify, PIM or ERP proposals?

Yes. The relevant factor is the project context, documentation and whether an independent commerce project perspective is useful.

Is CommerceDue legal advice?

No. CommerceDue provides a professional project assessment and does not replace legal advice.

Does CommerceDue assess a proposal price?

Price is assessed in relation to scope, assumptions, risk and likely follow-on cost; this is not a market-price guarantee.

Can I have several proposals compared?

Yes. CommerceDue Compare is designed for that purpose.

What happens to my documents?

They are used only for the commissioned review and handled confidentially.

How quickly will I receive the review report?

The timeframe is agreed transparently after the scope and documents have been reviewed.
