Savings over three years

The build is paid once in year 1. Later years only account for maintenance/support costs, so you can lower those numbers if your support needs are reduced over time.

Costs by Year

  Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Maintenance/support costs
Exception processing cost $16,000 $16,000 $16,000
Server cost
Change request cost

Support fee: Optional. Use your own IT support cost here instead if you'd rather.
Exception processing: Figured for you from the numbers in section 1.
Server cost: Based on what your hosting provider charges.
Bot change requests: Based on how often your workflow changes, or when a platform updates its screens and the bot needs updating too.

Cumulative net savings start negative at the build cost, cross zero once payback is reached, and climb faster once the build is paid off.

These are estimates and will be finalized once your automation project has been completely scoped and priced.

What does an employee really cost?

Prospects usually compare our pricing to salary alone, but the full cost includes taxes, benefits,
workers’ comp, and overhead, so the comparison is fair.
