How much could one workflow automation save your business?

Estimate the time, labour capacity and potential payback from automating a repetitive business process. Adjust assumptions to your actual operations — no uploads or registration.

Your workflow

Start with one repetitive process. Figures below are examples, not industry benchmarks.

Type of process

Tasks per month

Minutes per task (today)

Loaded labour cost / hour (USD)

Potential time reduction (%)

One-time implementation cost (USD)

Monthly tool + support cost (USD)

Share of released time that creates cash benefit (%)

Critical assumption: saved time is not automatically a cash saving. Set 0% if no cash value is realised.

Estimated impact

Model outputs are illustrative, based only on your inputs.

Hours of capacity released / month

Estimated net cash benefit / month

Simple payback (months)

Cash-realisation assumption

Before you invest

Validate the workflow with a small pilot. Include accuracy checks, exceptions, data privacy, staff adoption and ongoing maintenance. This model excludes taxes, financing and opportunity costs; it is not a guaranteed ROI.
