Calculating ROI on Business Automation (With Real Examples)
22 Apr 2026 · 6 min read
Before building anything, we quantify three numbers: hours saved per week, revenue recovered per month, and error reduction (no-shows, missed leads, late payments).
Hours saved × staff hourly cost = direct labour savings. A restaurant saving 15 admin hours weekly at £15/hour recovers £900/month before counting revenue impact.
Revenue recovery is often larger. No-show reduction, cancellation fills, cart recovery, and faster quote responses compound quickly. We document baseline metrics before go-live and report monthly.
Setup fees typically pay back in 2–4 months for Starter packages, faster for Growth. Monthly fees cover hosting, monitoring, optimisation, and support — so automations keep improving, not degrading.
