Stitched stack
Looks flexible. Usually costs more over time.
Separate systems can appear cheaper at first, but the hidden cost shows up in duplicate licences, manual reconciliation, and teams working around gaps.
- Extra tools for evidence, reporting, or employer visibility
- More admin overhead to keep records aligned
- Integration and support complexity spread across suppliers
Enterprise suite
Broad capability. Often overscoped for real delivery teams.
Large suites can solve many problems, but they frequently carry heavier setup, slower rollout, and more commercial overhead than mid-sized teams need.
- Higher first-year cost once modules and setup are included
- Longer time to value for teams that need practical delivery workflow fast
- Buyers pay for platform breadth they may never operationalise
TIQPlus position
Priced to replace more of the stack without enterprise-suite overhead.
TIQPlus combines core delivery, evidence, reporting, and employer workflow in one system, so the commercial case is easier to defend internally.
- One connected workflow instead of separate tools and workarounds
- Employer access included rather than sold as a separate portal layer
- AI-supported admin reduction improves value after go-live, not just on day one
