ROI Calculator

    ROI calculator — SME

    Eight questions about your operation. The result is the number that matters most at your size: how many months before the investment has paid for itself.

    Wage plus employer charges, holiday and overhead. Default assumes €53,000 all-in per FTE per year over 1,720 paid hours.
    Rekeying, chasing, checking and correcting between systems.

    What it costs

    Your cost depends on your sites, users and modules, so we set it together rather than guess it here. A 30-minute conversation gives you the number, and the net saving that goes with it.

    Assumptions behind the calculation

    These are starting points, not measured results from your operation. They are conservative mid-points from published warehouse-operations ranges. Change any of them and the result changes with them.

    Every pre-filled figure is an editable assumption, not a measurement of your operation and not a promise. The result is only as good as the inputs.

    Want this as a PDF, or checked by someone who has run it?

    We will send the calculation with your inputs, and if you want, sit down and pressure-test the assumptions against your actual operation. Your numbers come with the enquiry so the conversation starts where you left off.

    Questions about this calculation

    What does a single-site WMS actually save?

    Three things, in this order: fewer pick errors and therefore fewer returns and credit notes, less time spent counting and correcting stock, and less order administration once the webshop and ERP stop being reconciled by hand. Labour reduction usually shows up as absorbed growth rather than fewer people.

    Which numbers should I replace before trusting the outcome?

    The pick error rate and the cost of a single error. Both are pre-filled with planning defaults, and both dominate the result. Take the error rate from your own returns data over the last quarter, and the cost per error from what a wrong shipment costs you in carriage, handling and credit.

    How quickly does a single-site implementation pay back?

    A single site with standard connectors typically goes live in four to twelve weeks, and the payback question is usually decided by error cost rather than labour. Whether that lands nearer two months or nearer six depends on your order volume and your current error rate.
