Pilot ROI calculator
Put in your own figures and watch the payback compute live. The hard number is estimator time saved — and we show it net of the monthly retainer. Payback is on the one-time pilot after the retainer is covered; first-year ROI is on total first-year cost (pilot + 12 months of retainer). Order-intake upside is shown separately and kept out of the payback math, on purpose.
Enter your figures — the defaults are illustrative. Pilot price and retainer are indicative. Payback is on the one-time pilot, net of the monthly retainer; first-year ROI is on total first-year cost (pilot + 12 months of retainer). All on estimator-time savings — order-intake upside is shown separately and is not included in payback or ROI.
Indicative only. Faster, sharper quoting can lift win-rate — but we never fold revenue into payback. This block is shown separately so the hard case stands on its own.
- Bids / year × hours per bid × time saved
- 600 × 4 × 50%
- = Estimator hours saved / year
- 1 200 h
- × Loaded cost / hour
- 750 kr
- = Labour saved / year (gross)
- 900 000 kr
- Monthly saving (labour ÷ 12)
- 75 000 kr
- − Monthly retainer
- 25 000 kr
- = Monthly net
- 50 000 kr
- Pilot investment, one-time (indicative)
- 80 000 kr
- Payback = pilot ÷ (monthly saving − monthly retainer)
- 1,6 months
- Year-1 net = savings − (pilot + 12 × retainer)
- 900 000 kr − 380 000 kr = 520 000 kr
Indicative revenue signal — deliberately kept out of the payback and ROI figures above.
Payback is on the one-time pilot, net of the monthly retainer; first-year ROI is on total first-year cost (pilot + 12 months of retainer). Estimator-time savings only — order-intake upside is indicative and separate. Pilot price and retainer are indicative.
How the pilot works
A concrete, low-risk path: prove the matcher on real data first, then build the foundation that makes the projection and opportunity views real.
- Matcher runs on a real Øglænd price book + historical specifications.
- Measured on two things: match accuracy and estimator time saved.
- A clear, evidenced go / no-go — on your numbers, not ours.
- Clean, connected product + project data — the backbone everything else stands on.
- Price books, specs and won/lost history flow into one place.
- Turns the pilot from a tool into a durable capability.
- Market Projection and Market Opportunity move from concept to live.
- Forecasts and whitespace are driven by your own data foundation.
- Compounding return as more of the business runs on it.
