How is the return on investment calculated?
Updated October 4, 2026
Hours saved per year × loaded hourly rate = yearly gain. ROI = (gain − plan cost) ÷ plan cost. Payback = plan cost ÷ weekly gain. Default: 6 hours saved per day on the production plan, based on our clients (2025). The conservative estimate starts from your orders: orders per week × admin minutes per order × share eliminated, capped at 6 hours per day.
