How This Is Calculated

Two cost categories. Both measurable. Both recoverable.

The calculator models the two costs of manual B2B ordering that show up directly in staff time and order rework. The arithmetic is simple enough to follow in one read.

01
Processing labour
Every manual order consumes staff time — taking the call or reading the WhatsApp, keying it into the ERP, chasing confirmation, and handling the follow-up. Multiply orders by minutes, convert to hours, apply the fully-loaded hourly cost. When buyers self-serve on the portal, that time mostly disappears from the distributor’s team.
02
Order errors
Quantity, MOQ, and pricing mistakes entered at the point of order entry trigger rework downstream: a correction call, a redelivery, a credit note, and the admin to reconcile it. Cart-level validation catches them before submission — which is where the “0 MOQ violations at dispatch” outcome comes from. The error resolution cost assumption covers the average cost of fixing one bad order.

Why the estimate is conservative. The tool leaves out harder-to-quantify gains: time spent resolving invoice disputes, buyer-retention value from a smoother ordering experience, and the cash-flow benefit of POD-triggered invoicing (which shortens the path from delivery to payment). Those gains are real — they’re just not easy to agree on in a spreadsheet. The conservative scope is a feature, not a limitation. When you bring your actual numbers to a demo, those gains become part of the conversation.
