ROI calculator

Enter your team size, volume, handle time, and loaded cost to estimate hours saved, cost to serve, and payback. The model is conservative: it discounts theoretical savings and includes platform and model costs.

Scenario

Core systems connected, agents handling routine volume end to end.

Headcount on the process you are modelling.
Tickets, requests, cases, or documents per month.
Minutes a person spends per item today.
Salary, benefits, and overhead per productive hour.
Connectors, workflow design, change management.

Plans are quoted on request; this is your placeholder for the model, not a price.

Assumptions and formula

hours saved = (deflected volume × handle time) + (assisted volume × handle time × assist reduction), discounted by a realisation rate of 80% so the output is not the theoretical maximum.

Model cost is estimated at $0 per interaction. Productive capacity is 140 hours per person per month. Payback divides one-time implementation cost by net monthly benefit. Nothing here is a claimed customer result.
