Elop

Savings calculator

What the phone is costing you

Four inputs and we tell you what team your call volume needs today, what it costs, and what you would save by automating the repetitive part. It is an estimate, not a quote: it exists to tell you whether the conversation is worth having.

Your estimated saving

So far these are your own numbers, tidied up. The saving and what that team costs you today come with the breakdown — tell us where to send it.

An indicative estimate based on sector averages. Real cost depends on flow complexity, integrations and your own cost structure. We tune it to your figures on the first call.

How we work it out

No black box — these are the assumptions, and you can argue with them.

01

How many people it takes

We take two constraints and keep whichever binds harder: total minutes of workload, and how many calls you need answered simultaneously. A restaurant with modest volume but a brutal 14:00 peak is limited by the second, not the first.

02

What one person covers

Seven productive hours a day, five days, 4.3 weeks a month, at 80% to account for holidays, sick leave and breaks. That gives realistic capacity, not theoretical.

03

What that person costs

Full employer cost, not gross salary: social security, holiday, sick leave and cover included.

04

What it leaves out

We do not count revenue recovered from the calls you currently miss, or the appointments that go unfilled. In most cases that outweighs the staffing saving — but it depends too much on your business to estimate here.

Do the numbers stack up?

Send us your estimate and we will review it against your real figures in a half-hour call. No sales deck.
