Supplier prices retyped by hand. Invoicing that eats up two days. The Monday report pieced together from three files. None of those hours shows up in your financial statements — but every one of them is on the payroll. Enter three numbers: the calculator gives you the annual amount, and how long it would take to get it back.
This is exactly the calculation that uncovered $56,000 a year in a single task at a Quebec grocery store →
Automating probably isn’t worth it — the project would cost more than the chore. Keep the template and run the numbers again when volume grows.
Sprint territory: one chore eliminated in 2 to 3 weeks, fixed scope, fixed price (from $4,500). The project pays for itself within the first year.
There are probably several tasks — or an entire system — to rethink. That’s where a phased system replacement fits: each phase delivered and paid back before the next one starts.
In 20 minutes on the phone, we validate your calculation, look at what’s behind the task, and I tell you honestly whether it’s worth a project — or not. Free, no obligation.
