Implementation time and costs
Implementation
From project kick-off to go-live, implementation takes 4-6 weeks. This includes integration build, end-to-end testing, and sign-off with AkzoNobel’s technical team. Timeline is dependent on customer IT availability.
Costs
API integration is a one-off investment, covering your internal IT resource for implementation – typically under €8k.

B2B Order Portal or API?
The portal is the ideal solution for customers who need ordering flexibility without a technical integration. For large enterprise customers with consistent, high-volume patterns and dedicated IT resources, AkzoNobel's API may be a better fit. Contact a Sales Representative to find the right solution.
