ROI calculator

Put a number on the mess.

Bad inventory data doesn't send you an invoice. It quietly bleeds labor, oversells, failed deliveries, marketplace leakage and disputes off your margin every month. Set your operation, see the total and where to start, and share the case with your team. Every assumption is visible and yours to change.

What your operation is really costing you.

Five places margin leaks: from your warehouse floor to your marketplace payouts. Set your operation, see the total, and where to start first. Reconciliation and disputes need the EasyReco / EasyVMS add-ons, so they're tagged: the number stays honest.

No black box

How each number is calculated.

Most vendor ROI calculators hide the maths because the maths is flattering. Here's ours, in full: formula, assumption and the capability that actually earns it.

01

Labor & throughput

Scan-based, paperless picking with optimized pick paths and batch/wave picking removes walking and double-handling. Applied to floor labor only.

headcount × hourly cost × 40h × 52w × hours-saved %
02

SLA credits & churn

Mis-picks, shorts and mis-ships trigger client credits, and eventually cost the account. Scan verification at pick and pack is what removes them.

orders × error rate × prevented % × order fee × credit multiple
03

Failed deliveries

Only counts when you book the freight. Accurate, scan-verified picking cuts the redelivery and return legs you absorb.

orders × failed-delivery rate × avoided % × cost per failure
04

Freight & carrier audit

Up to 20% of carrier invoices carry errors: wrong zones, phantom surcharges, dim-weight mistakes. EasyReco audits every invoice line against what was quoted.

freight spend × recoverable % × (1 − already-audited %)
05

Client claims

Shortage and damage claims your clients raise against you. Order-linked video at pack and inbound turns a dispute into a closed file.

orders × claim rate × (90% − win rate) × claim value × 12
06

Billing accuracy

Your margin lives between storage agreed and storage invoiced. Activity-based billing catches handling, storage and value-added work that never made the invoice.

handling & storage billed × variance % × recovered %
01

Labor & throughput

Scan-based, paperless picking with optimized pick paths and batch/wave picking removes walking and double-handling. We apply the saving to floor labor only: not your whole payroll.

headcount × hourly cost × 40h × 52w × hours-saved %
02

Oversells prevented

Inventory syncs across every channel in under 60 seconds, so you stop selling stock you no longer have. We count the lost contribution margin, not the full order value. You never had that margin to begin with.

annual orders × oversell % × prevented % × AOV × margin %
03

Failed deliveries

Accurate, scan-verified picking means fewer wrong-item and short-shipment returns: the deliveries you pay shipping on twice and often can't resell. Bin-level accuracy runs to 99.7% on Enterprise.

annual orders × failed-delivery % × avoided % × cost per failed delivery
04 · EasyReco add-on

Marketplace leakage

Commission overcharges, wrong deductions and short settlements quietly keep 1–4% of GMV. EasyReco reconciles at order level and claims back what manual spot-checks miss.

GMV × leakage % × (90% − recovered-today %)
05 · EasyVMS add-on

Delivery disputes

Order-linked packing video turns “you shipped the wrong thing” into evidence, lifting your claim win rate. We value the disputes you'd stop writing off.

disputes/mo × (90% − win rate) × (AOV × 1.25) × 12
What it looks like in practice

The gains compound, because they happen every day.

An ROI model is a snapshot. The reason operations work pays back is that every one of these gains repeats on every order, every shift: accuracy on the first pick, stock that's true across channels, a return that never happens. Across our customer base, the averages look like this.

~55%
Average topline growth month on month
~33%
Lower warehouse operating cost
<60s
Inventory sync across every channel

Customer averages, not a guarantee: results vary by category, volume and starting point. The 99.7% bin-level accuracy and <60s inventory-sync SLA are Enterprise service levels, scoped during onboarding.

Now let's check the number against your actual data.

A short operations walkthrough, and we'll tell you honestly which of these gains you'd really see, and which you wouldn't.
