The calculator compares your current administrative time per order to Spoonfed’s benchmark of 3.7 minutes. It then projects your labor cost savings and revenue uplift based on improved efficiency. Finally, it subtracts Spoonfed’s subscription cost to deliver your net ROI, ROI ratio, and estimated payback period.
3.7 minutes is based on time studies conducted across Spoonfed’s user base. It reflects the average time to manage an order using Spoonfed’s end-to-end automation, including ordering, amendments, confirmations, and invoicing, compared to manual or semi-manual workflows.
Revenue uplift is estimated as a percentage of your annual order value, based on increased order frequency, improved accuracy, repeat ordering, reduced friction, and more effective customer re-engagement. It is calculated automatically using a 16.5% uplift coefficient, derived from empirical data across existing Spoonfed clients.
