The verdict in three sentences
An online store for embroidered workwear in Amsterdam costs around EUR 15,000 to 50,000 in 2026 (market ballpark), with most of the spread driven by the logo customiser and company accounts with staff allowances. A quote you can trust lists every line in days, so you can compare suppliers instead of decoding a lump sum. Budget EUR 300 to 900 a month for maintenance on top, or your three year cost will be understated.
Quote lines and price ranges
Your customers are installers, cleaning companies, logistics firms, construction contractors and municipalities. Their office managers want to reorder the same jackets and polos with the company logo, in the right sizes, for each new hire, often in Dutch and sometimes in English for international teams. The store must handle 250 to 700 products with sizes and colours and let a buyer upload a logo, preview it and approve a proof.

Mini case study
Illustrative example, fictional persona: Sander, owner of an Amsterdam embroidered workwear supplier, signs the EUR 42,250 quote with EUR 550 a month of maintenance. Each logo order currently takes 40 minutes of emails and proofs; the customiser cuts that to 10 minutes. On 70 orders a month he saves 35 hours, about EUR 1,400 at EUR 40 an hour. If the store adds EUR 5,000 of monthly sales at a 40 % margin, EUR 2,000, the total gain reaches EUR 3,400 a month, a payback of about 14 months including maintenance.
