RETURN
ON INVESTMENT
Visual
Shop will provide you with a Return on Investment.
Here
is what you can expect.
First
off, the money you will save will vary depending on your current
situation. To arrive at a figure, we polled our customers. We
asked them if Visual Shop saved them money, how much, and why? We
used only the labor savings aspect of Visual Shop, though many customers
derived savings from better quality, improved customer service,
and other areas. The chart below is a conservative estimate of what
you can expect to save with Visual Shop.

We
grouped the data into categories based on the number of Visual Shop
Licenses the customer has. The first group of 2 pc's represents
customers that had 1 to 3 licenses. The 2nd group represents customers
that had 4 to 7 licenses. The 3rd group represents 7 to 15 licenses
and the final group represents 16 licenses and above. We based our
dollar figures on a hourly rate of $12.00 per hour. We did not include
any benefits our taxes. This information reported is based on averages
of what our customers saved with Visual Shop.
Here
is what we found out:
Smaller
customers were either not using systems or the systems were not
industry specific. In many cases those customers were double
entering data, handwriting orders, and re-entering data into their
invoicing system. Therefore moving to Visual Shop yielded a high
rate of savings per user.
As
customers got larger, they tended to come from older outdated systems.
Some of the systems used were manufacturing systems and others
were custom written. In some cases their accounting did not tie
into their shop system. Those using manufacturing packages often
had to do a tremendous amount of data entry and perform a large
number of steps to enter an order. In many places; Monthly reports
were done manually, shop communication and data flow were poor and
often required data re-entry. Visual Shop was able to streamline
their facility from front to end. Visual Shop Improved communications
and data flow and eliminated data re-entry.
