# Rationalization case, Northwind Logistics

> Example output. Northwind Logistics is an invented company used to show the shape and the level of detail of this deliverable. None of these figures are a benchmark.

## The case for rationalizing the Northwind stack

**Today: 34 tools, $412,800 a year. Target: 11 tools, $318,400 a year.**

## The target stack

| Tool | Absorbs | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | customer records, pipeline, forecast | $118,000 |
| Google Workspace | email, calendar, file storage, external docs | $43,200 |
| HubSpot Marketing | campaign email, landing pages, marketing contact record | $34,200 |
| Zendesk | all ticketing, both queues | $31,000 |
| ZoomInfo | contact data | $22,000 |
| Notion | internal wiki, ops trackers, documentation | $12,900 |
| Clay | enrichment and list building | $9,600 |
| Calendly | scheduling and inbound routing | $9,800 |
| Sigma | reporting | $18,000 |
| 1Password | credentials | $8,400 |
| Datadog | monitoring | $11,300 |

## The money

- Current annual spend: **$412,800**
- Target annual spend: **$318,400**
- Contract saving: **$94,400 a year**
- One-off migration cost: **not established.** You did not give internal day rates, and the only external cost identified is a Zendesk plan change. Do not put a migration number in front of a CFO that you cannot source.
- Time saving: real but not counted here. It is not a contract saving and it should not be in the headline figure.

## Migration order

**Wave 1, weeks 1 to 3. Nothing depends on it.**
Marketo off. Calendly seat reduction. Dropbox partner folder to a Google shared drive.
Must be true first: the Marketo notice letter is sent before 2026-08-31.

**Wave 2, weeks 4 to 8. One decision blocks it.**
Intercom ticket queue into Zendesk. Confluence into Notion.
Must be true first: someone decides whether in-app chat survives. If it does, budget a smaller Intercom plan and the saving drops by roughly $9,000.

**Wave 3, weeks 9 to 12. Cleanup.**
Loom export then removal. Airtable trackers into Notion databases. Chili Piper off once Calendly routing is proven on live inbound for two weeks.
Must be true first: Calendly routing has handled real inbound without a missed lead.

## Objections, and the answer

| Tool removed | Who objects | What they will say | The answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketo | nobody named | "we might need that list" | The list has not synced in 14 months and HubSpot has been the record since. Export it to CSV before the notice date and the objection has no object. |
| Intercom | Head of Marketing | "support tickets in Zendesk is fine, but in-app chat is how we catch churn signals" | Correct, and that is why the proposal removes the ticket queue and asks a separate question about chat. The two are being decided separately on purpose. |
| Confluence | the 23 active users | "everything is in there" | Everything is in there for 23 people while 142 are already in Notion. Migration is a page export, and the alternative is paying $7,200 a year for a second wiki. |
| Chili Piper | VP Sales | "inbound routing is revenue, do not touch it" | Agreed, which is why it is last and gated on two weeks of proven routing on Calendly. If routing misses a lead, this line does not happen. |
| Dropbox | IT | "the freight partners have the link" | One folder, two partners, one email each. The link changes, the folder does not. |

## What this makes worse

- **Zendesk becomes a single point of failure for all customer contact.** Today an outage leaves Intercom standing. After Wave 2 it does not. That is a real reduction in resilience and it is the honest price of the $24,000.
- **Notion carries the wiki, the trackers and the documentation.** Concentration risk on one vendor, and the export path out of Notion is worse than the one out of Confluence.
- **Wave 3 puts inbound routing on a tool that has never carried it here.** The two week proving period is the mitigation, and it is why this wave is last.

## What is missing

- Internal day rates. Without them the migration cost stays unnumbered, and the payback period cannot be computed.
- The Zendesk plan quote for the merged queues. The $31,000 above is the current plan plus the seats the Intercom queue needs, which is arithmetic, not a quote.
- A decision owner for in-app chat. Wave 2 cannot start without one.
