ROI calculators
What manual cross-system work costs, in your own numbers
Five calculators size the costs that build up when work moves between systems by hand: approver licenses that sit idle, hours lost to rework, turnover, platform spend that goes to customization, and hiring to keep up with volume. A sixth is for managed service providers. Each opens with worked defaults you can replace, and none asks for an email.
How the numbers work Every formula runs in your browser on the inputs you see. Defaults are illustrative, and results do not subtract the cost of Kinetic.
