What's Included

Stack Audit & Rationalization

Audit every tool in your martech stack u2014 usage, overlap, cost, integration status, and contract terms.

Requirements Mapping

Map marketing team requirements to capabilities u2014 what do you need vs what you have vs what is missing.

Vendor Evaluation

Vendor-neutral evaluation of tools with scoring criteria, demos, reference checks, and cost analysis.

Architecture Design

Full architecture diagram with data flows, integration patterns, and implementation sequencing.

Build vs Buy Analysis

Evaluate custom development vs SaaS tools for each capability with ROI modeling.

Roadmap Development

12-24 month implementation roadmap with phased rollout, milestones, and resource requirements.

Real-World Results

Scale-Up Stack Overhaul

Challenge

47 martech tools, $800K annual spend, massive overlap, 5 data silos, no integration strategy

Solution

Rationalized to 22 tools with clear architecture, integration plan, and 18-month implementation roadmap

Result

$250K annual savings from eliminated tools, 3x faster campaign execution, one unified data flow

Post-Merger Stack Consolidation

Challenge

Two companies merged, 90+ combined martech tools, competing platforms for every category

Solution

Unified stack architecture selecting best-of-breed from both, phased consolidation plan

Result

Consolidated to 28 tools, $400K annual savings, unified customer view across both customer bases

Key Benefits

Cost Savings

Eliminate redundant tools and negotiate better contracts u2014 typically 30% cost reduction.

Better Performance

Right-sized stack with proper integration outperforms bloated tool collections.

Vendor Neutral

Independent recommendations based on your needs, not vendor partnerships.

Future-Proof

Architecture designed to scale and adapt as your business evolves.

Our Process

Discovery & Audit

Interview stakeholders, audit current tools, analyze spend, and document pain points.

Requirements & Gap Analysis

Map capabilities needed to tools available and identify gaps and redundancies.

Architecture Design

Design target architecture with selected tools, integration patterns, and data flows.

Roadmap & Business Case

Build implementation roadmap with ROI projections and executive business case.

How We Compare

Aspect Traditional Widelly
Approach Add tools reactively to fix problems Architecture-first design based on requirements
Evaluation Vendor demo and buy Structured evaluation with scoring, references, and POC
Integration Connect tools ad-hoc Designed data flow architecture from day one
Cost Growing uncontrolled Rationalized with annual review and optimization

FAQ

How many martech tools should we have?
Average mid-market company uses 91 martech tools. Most only actively use 30-40. We typically consolidate to 15-25 well-integrated, fully utilized tools. Fewer, better tools outperform tool sprawl every time.
How do you stay vendor-neutral?
We do not accept commissions from vendors and evaluate all options equally. Our revenue comes from advisory and implementation services. We sometimes have partnerships but always disclose and evaluate competitors fairly.
When should we re-evaluate our martech stack?
After: major business changes (acquisition, new market, new product), significant team growth, contract renewals, or when you feel your tools are limiting growth. At minimum, annual stack health checks.
How long does a stack architecture project take?
Audit + strategy: 3-4 weeks. Full architecture with vendor evaluation: 6-8 weeks. Architecture + implementation planning: 8-12 weeks. We deliver the audit first for quick wins.
