Business Central Engineer to Order Pricing

If you are an Engineer to Order manufacturer, interested in implementing Business Central and Sabre's certified ETO addon, then these fixed fee implementations are for you. Review the features included in each level, and select the tier that is right for you.

Some customers need extras (or are looking for something between two tiers). You can choose from the addons at the bottom of this page to customize your implementation.

Finally, a one-size-fits-all for Business Central Engineer to Order pricing doesn't really exist. Larger teams always lead to more complex projects. Sabre has removed support, project management, and custom one-on-one tutoring and coaching from our fixed price. Instead, customers pay an in-project fee called Project Excellence to cover all these costs.  This means smaller customers pay less, and larger customers pay more - which makes the pricing equitable and more accurate.

The Small Print

Project Excellence is $140 USD/ $175 CAD per user per month during training - minimum 10 users. 
Only custom programming or on-site activities are not included in your fixed project costs.

Bronze

$42,000 USD

$52,500 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
The bronze level is engineer to order pricing meant for smaller or simpler businesses that do not need complex service or manufacturing capabilities.

This project is great to get off the ground quickly with an "out of the box" implementation of all the basic features, leaving anything more advanced for phase 2.
No significant customizations are supported in Bronze projects.  No ISV / 3rd party addons will be used.

Silver

$59,000 USD

$73,800 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
Silver is meant for a typical mid-size or more complex, small engineer to order manufacturer with some field service and basic service parts.

This project still focuses on "out of the box" but leaves more room for advanced features and opens the door to customizations or 3rd party addons.
Limited customizations are supported in Silver projects. Selected ISV / 3rd Party addons are included.  Programming fees and ISV addon licenses are always extra.

Gold

$71,000 USD

$88,800 CAD

Fixed Fee Implementation
Gold engineer to order pricing is for implementation projects with features required by the most complex engineer to order manufacturers and leaves room for even more complex addons.

Gold projects are eligible to train almost all features of Business Central (not production manufacturing and features not used by any manufacturers).
Customizations of almost any type are supported in Gold projects. Most ISV / 3rd party addons are available.  Programming fees and ISV addon licenses are always extra.

Frequently Asked  Questions

How do I know how many users I will need for my business?

We answer this question in a blog meant to help you determine how many users you will need. You can read it here.

How many Project Excellence users do I need to pay for during the implementation?

You have to pay for Project Excellence based on the number of FULL users you will go live with. This is the only way to fairly measure the size of your business and therefore the extra costs that will be associated with the project.  Project Excellence is meant to capture the price difference between a large customer with many users to be trained and a small customer with few.

How do I get a quote for Phase 2 activities (things I want to do after I go live)?

We have found that customers complete many "phase 2" activities on their own with just the continuing support from Sabre after the project ends.  Sometimes a small amount of extra support can be added for brief periods to facilitate continuous process improvement with your team. This is by far the best way to achieve phase 2 activities. Measure the return on investment of each extra task, and execute them so long as they make sense to do.

How much is ongoing support and what is included?

Sabre wants to help your business with ongoing continuous improvement in Business Central. We offer Business Excellence, our premium support program. The cost is $70 USD/$ 87.50 CAD and it is mandatory for the 12 months after your project ends.  Business Excellence entitles you to several benefits:
- Unlimited email and remote support incidents
- Unlimited coaching and consulting engagements (first come first serve)
- Use of our Business Excellence addon module with dozens of helpful features

How long are these projects?

Business Central Engineer to order implementation projects are made up of three phases - Implementation, Go-Live, and Transition.  Implementation varies depending on the tier of your project. Bronze tends to be 5 months, Silver is 7 months and Gold is 9 months in length.  Go-Live is one month.  Transition is two months.  

The average Silver project is 7 months of implementation, followed by a go-live with 1 month of intense support and then 2 months of transition.

Customers who want to add more resources to a project and dedicate more hours can shorten that time significantly. There is a limit on how fast any ERP project can go - usually based on decision making, testing, and training hours available to your team. 

Why don't you include production manufacturing?

Production manufacturing is used in high volume, repetitive manufacturing environments. Engineer to order pricing is designed for ETO manufacturers who almost never make repeat production or even small batches of identical items. If you do make repetitive parts (for components you use yourself or to sell to customers) you probably want Production Manufacturing Pricing or Project Manufacturing Pricing instead.
