Build your internal decision document
A concise document, based on the same transparent assumptions as the ROI calculator, to attach to your budget approval request.
Methodology
The calculation separates two sources of savings: reduced pallet losses (valued at the cost per pallet you provide) and the value of administrative time recovered from reconciliation (valued at the fully loaded hourly cost you provide). Three scenarios — prudent, central, optimistic — apply a discount or premium to your own reduction assumptions; these are not external statistical data.
The figures below use illustrative default assumptions. Use the ROI calculator to replace them with your own before downloading your own document.
