Build a complete business case for procurement automation. Time savings are just the start — add contract risk, TCO, maverick spend, payments, EHS, and carbon to get the full picture.

Each default is sourced from a named study — WorldCC, Deloitte, EU-OSHA, or ISM/CAPS Research. They represent industry averages. Your actual numbers will differ. The point of this tool is to give you a defensible starting point, not a final answer. Adjust the sliders to your situation and show your manager the assumptions, not just the output.
Use the preset dropdown as a starting point. Contract Review → sections 2 + 3. AP/Invoice workflow → sections 4 + 5. Warehouse automation → sections 6 + 7 + 8. If in doubt, enable only what you can directly tie to your project scope — overstating the case in front of management backfires.
If your implementation date is more than 3 months away, the tool estimates how much of the projected savings value erodes each month due to inflation (using EU HICP 3.5% annual average). It's an honest way to quantify the cost of delay — useful when you need to justify moving faster internally.

Methodology: Core savings = hours × occurrences × people × hourly rate × efficiency. Contract risk = contract value × leakage rate × leakage reduction. TCO = spend × hidden-cost rate × deviation. Payment = AP spend × discount rate × (target − current capture). Maverick = addressable spend × non-compliance rate × price premium × compliance improvement. EHS = (FTE ÷ 100) × incident rate × cost per incident × reduction. Space = m² × cost/m² × reduction. Carbon value = (reams × 0.0045 + km × 0.00021) × reduction × ETS price. Actual results vary by implementation quality and baseline data.
