ROI Calculator

    ROI calculator — SME+

    The SME questions plus the ones that only apply once you run more than one site or channel. Optional modules are calculated separately, each with its own saving.

    Paid modules

    These come on top of the platform. Each one is calculated on its own so you can see what it saves before we talk cost.

    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.

    Your result

    Gross annual saving

    Before any licence cost. The net figure comes out of the conversation.

    Where the number comes from

    • Picking errors avoided€45,144
    • Floor productivity€67,183
    • Stock counting€7,440
    • Order administration€12,896
    • Returns avoided€22,680

    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

    Where does multi-site orchestration create value over a single-site WMS?

    In allocation. With one stock truth across sites and channels you stop overselling on a marketplace while stock sits in another warehouse, and you stop shipping from the wrong site. The saving is in avoided stock-outs, avoided split shipments and lower carriage, not in warehouse labour alone.

    Do optional modules change the business case?

    Yes. Modules on SME+ carry both a monthly fee and an implementation fee, so they belong in the cost side of the model rather than being assumed. Add only the modules the operation will actually run in year one.

    How should channel availability be modelled?

    Per channel, not globally. A marketplace with penalties for cancellations justifies a safety buffer; your own webshop can run leaner. The value of the buffer strategy is the cancellations and account penalties it prevents.
