What is ROI in eCommerce
Return on Investment (ROI) is the performance metric that evaluates the benefit received from an investment. In eCommerce, it’s the gain you achieve from digital transformation, with ROI expressed as a percentage. Positive ROI means the investment paid off and generates profit.
License cost
The upfront fee for software aquisition. This fee (usually annual) provides rights to use software within vendor-established terms. Caculate license cost by multiplying the estimated number of users by a per-user fee. Depending on the vendor, there may be additional costs assessed on a SKU, transaction, or active client basis.
AOV
Average Order Value (AOV) is the average total amount of every order placed during a defined time period.
Break Even Point (BEP)
Break Even Point (BEP) occurs when the total cost of ownership equals total revenue. At this point there is no loss or gain. Gains beyond BEP represent positive ROI.
Implementation cost
Software customization and implementation incurs costs related to modifying and customizing the design, front- and backend. Usually calculated as the cost of development services per period required to launch a project.
Maintenance cost
Maintenance costs relate to software updates, upgrades, customizations, infrastructure hosting, and support. This is usually excluded from the license fee.
TCO
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) includes the purchase price plus the costs of operation. Calculated as: license cost + implementation cost + maintenance cost.
