Methodology

How We Calculate These Savings

Time Savings

Tasks x Hours x Reduction % = Hours saved. Based on actual project data from 50+ implementations.

Cost Savings

Hours saved x Loaded hourly rate. Includes salary, benefits, and overhead costs.

Rework Elimination

Error rate x Rework time (50% of original task) x Rate. Automation typically reduces errors to near-zero.

These are estimates based on industry averages. Your actual savings may vary. We provide precise estimates during the free audit.
