How the ROI is calculated

  1. 1Multiply agents × hours lost per week × 4.33 weeks × loaded hourly cost to value the time recovered each month.
  2. 2Subtract the software cost (agents × price per user).
  3. 3The result is your net monthly saving; the ROI is that saving divided by the software cost.

Why measure the ROI

Field teams on paper lose hours every week to admin, re-planning and chasing missing information. Putting a number on that time — against a transparent per-seat software cost — turns going digital into a concrete business case.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as hours lost per week?

Time each agent or the office spends on paper route sheets, re-entering data, calling to check status, and redoing lost reports. Two to four hours per agent is common.

What loaded hourly cost should I use?

The true cost of a worked hour including employer charges and overhead, not the raw wage. Our hourly cost calculator can estimate it.

Is 4.33 weeks per month correct?

It is the average number of weeks in a month (52 weeks ÷ 12). It gives a realistic monthly figure from weekly hours.
