Understanding your ROAI

Two powerful models to calculate your return on investment

How it works

Time savings

Reduced cycle time means you produce the same output faster, freeing capacity for additional units.

Graph line staggering up (icon)

Production increase

More units per month multiplied by revenue per unit equals your total revenue impact.

Revenue impact

Annual revenue gain shows the financial value of operational improvements over 12 months.

Break even

The point where cumulative revenue gains match your implementation investment, typically 6–18 months.

What your results mean

Revenue impact

The total additional revenue generated annually from increased production capacity. This assumes you can sell the additional output at your current unit price.

Break even

How many months until revenue gains cover your implementation cost. Most SensFlo customers break even within 12 months.

Year 1 return

Net return in the first year after subtracting implementation cost. This number goes positive after break-even.

Year 2 return

Full annual return in year two with no upfront cost. This represents ongoing value from your investment.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

Common questions answered by the SensFlo team

What is not included in the ROI calculator estimates?

This model focuses on direct revenue impact from increased output. It does not account for reduced waste, improved quality, lower labor costs, energy savings, or other operational benefits that often accompany SensFlo deployment.

Can I share these results with my team?

Yes. You can screenshot your results or schedule a review session with our team to walk through the numbers, validate assumptions, and discuss implementation planning.

What inputs do I need to get started?

You will need: current monthly production output, estimated time savings or production increase percentage, revenue per unit produced, and estimated implementation cost. Your operations and finance teams typically have this data.

How is break-even calculated?

Break-even is the point where cumulative revenue gains equal your implementation investment. It is calculated by dividing the total implementation cost by the monthly revenue impact from increased output.

What goes into the implementation cost?

Implementation costs typically include software licensing, hardware sensors, installation, integration with existing systems, training, and initial support. The total varies based on facility size, complexity, and deployment scope.

How accurate is the ROI estimate?

This calculator provides directional estimates based on your inputs. Actual results depend on your specific operations, implementation approach, and operational variables. We recommend using conservative estimates and validating assumptions with your team.
