YOUR ASSUMPTIONS, EXPLAINEDHow this calculation works.
What does the work cost today, and what could it cost after automation? These steps update when you change the inputs above.
01Today: staff handle every document manually.
02After automation: documents follow two routes.
Monthly document handling after automation| Route | Documents | Staff time each | Total staff time |
| Automation works; a person reviews | | | |
| Exception needs manual handling | | | |
| Total | | | |
|---|
Counts and hours are estimates rounded for display. Calculations use unrounded values. Exception time is total handling time, not additional time.
03Add the cost of running the automation.
- Human handling and review
- Document processing
- Fixed running costs
- Total future cost
Processing, support and setup amounts are editable assumptions, not confirmed supplier prices or MIRHEA charges.
04Compare before and after.
05Allow for the initial setup.
Staff capacity is different from cash savings.
If salaries stay the same, released time lets your team handle other work. Cash savings require an actual reduction in costs, such as overtime or an avoided hire. Payback assumes that released time delivers equivalent economic value.
This estimates the customer’s business case. It does not determine MIRHEA’s price or profit.
