A free calculator that shows business owners what manual work really costs
steps to see what manual work costs
The Challenge
A technology business wanted a free tool that gives business owners something genuinely useful: a way to put a number on what manual work is costing them.
The Solution
We built a free three-step calculator covering tasks, time and frequency, and the people involved, with a conservative to optimistic savings range and a full report behind a consented sign-up.
The Outcome
Owners see an honest savings range in minutes, and each report request arrives as a consented lead with its source tracked.
The client
A technology business.
The challenge
Most owners know their team spends too long on manual tasks, but few can say what it costs. Without a number, automation stays on the someday list. The business wanted a free tool that gave owners that number, and gave the business a steady flow of well-qualified enquiries.
The approach
Keep it short, keep it honest. Rather than one headline figure, show a range, and make the assumptions visible.
The solution
We built a three-step calculator:
- Choose the tasks
- Enter how long they take and how often
- Choose the people involved by pay band
It allows for on-costs and shows savings at 40, 60 and 80 percent capture, from conservative to optimistic. Owners who want the full picture can leave their details to request the report. The sign-up includes bot protection and captures consent before any follow-up, and each submission records where the visitor came from.
The results
Owners get a realistic savings range in a few minutes, and each report request arrives as a consented enquiry with its source tracked.
