Before investing in automation, it is reasonable to ask whether the result is worth it. The simple calculation below can serve as a first estimate.

The basic formula

Monthly savings = hours saved × hourly rate

Then compare it with the one-time cost (building the system) and the recurring cost (tools and monitoring).

An illustrative example

Suppose your team spends 40 hours per month on tasks that can be automated, and one hour of work is worth Rp50,000. The potential savings are about Rp2,000,000 per month, or Rp24,000,000 per year. This figure is only an example. Use your own team's data.

Things that are often forgotten

  • Time saved from fewer errors and less rework
  • Sales opportunities that were previously lost because of slow responses
  • The cost of tools and maintenance after the system is running
