How This Calculator Works
2. Error Cost Avoidance
Formula: Annual Orders × Error Rate × Error Reduction % × Avg Cost per Error
Includes customs penalties, reshipping, supplier dispute resolution, and production line downtime.
3. Cash Flow Improvement
Formula: (Annual Orders × Avg Order Value / 365) × Delay Days Reduced × Cost of Capital
Faster order-to-cash cycles reduce working capital needs. Delay reduction = Error Rate × Delay Days × Error Reduction %.
4. Net ROI
Formula: (Total Savings − Platform Cost) / Platform Cost × 100%
Payback = Platform Cost / Monthly Net Savings. First-year implementation ramp factored in.
