Automation ROI calculator for operational teams

Measure how much automation can save in manual effort, rework, and recoverable opportunities using an editable business case model.

Automation projects become easier to approve when the business case is built around the work people already recognise. That usually means recurring admin time, avoidable error handling, and revenue or service delays that have a measurable cost.

This page keeps the conversation grounded. You can compare the current state with the future state, carry forward a realistic maintenance cost, and show the monthly and annual equivalent value of the change.

That makes the model more useful for planning, not just for selling the idea.

FAQ

Questions decision-makers usually ask

How do you avoid overstating automation savings?

Keep the current quantities visible, use realistic reduction percentages, and include both implementation and maintenance costs.

Should automation ROI include ongoing maintenance?

Yes. Maintenance reduces net benefit and directly affects payback, so it needs to stay visible in the model.
