Business case
ROI calculator
Model the financial impact of automation before committing to a pilot. Enter your transaction volumes, handling times, and labour rates to generate a preliminary business case.
Methodology
A starting point, not a contract
This calculator models direct labour savings from automating a single process. It does not capture indirect benefits such as error reduction, cycle time improvement, staff redeployment value, or scalability headroom, which are typically material components of the full business case.
The output is a directional estimate. During an Explorer engagement, we validate these figures against your actual baseline data, incorporate your real fully-loaded labour rate, and model risk-adjusted scenarios your finance team can sign off on.
Step 1
Enter your process parameters in the calculator below.
Step 2
Review the directional ROI and payback period.
Step 3
Book a call to validate with your real baseline data.
