ROI Calculator

What is manual quoting costing you?

FIBC.AI replaces hours of manual planning and quoting, prevents the errors that remake orders, and keeps pricing on today's rates. Answer three quick questions — the headline shows the conservative end of the estimate.

Your operation
Three numbers you'll know from memory. Everything else is pre-filled with sensible defaults — fine-tune it under "Adjust the assumptions".
Enquiries / quotes per day2
≈ 52 quotes/month at this rate — easier to estimate per day than to guess a monthly figure. Scales up to 100/day for high-volume operations.
Staff cost (salary + overheads) ₹1,00,000
The fully-loaded figure for the people doing planning & quoting — salary plus PF and overheads, not just take-home. Switch the unit above if you think in daily or hourly terms.
Your investment
FIBC.AI plan (per year)₹3,00,000
Typical plans start around ₹3,00,000/yr — put in the figure from your quote to see your exact ROI.

Time & workflow
Working days per month26
Working hours per day8
Used only to convert a daily/weekly/monthly salary into an hourly rate.
Planning time per enquiry2 hrs
Covers planning & costing everything the enquiry needs, even if it spans a few bag types.
What's included in this time
  1. Planning by the planning engineer — fabric, GSM, loop type, dimensions & yield calc
  2. Preparing the spec sheet for approval
  3. Submission for approval
  4. Edits suggested by the supervisor
  5. Returned for editing, reworked
  6. Resubmitted for approval
  7. Final approval
  8. Print-outs taken at each stage for physical sign-off
Quote / PDF build time per enquiry1 hrs
What's included in this time
  1. Pulling approved costing for every bag type in the enquiry
  2. Building the rate/cost break-up sheet
  3. Formatting the customer-facing quotation
  4. Converting to PDF on letterhead
  5. Internal check before it goes out
  6. Emailing/printing and logging the follow-up
Quotes revised (extra costing round)30%
Re-costing time per revision1.5 hrs
What's included in this time
  1. Sales/customer requests a change — spec, quantity, or price
  2. Re-pulling current material rates
  3. Re-running the costing sheet
  4. Re-approval by the supervisor
  5. Reissuing the quote PDF
Quoting & margin
Reworked orders per year2
Wrong version or misread spec reaching production — e.g. 600kg read as 6,000kg. Assumes ₹1,50,000 avg remake cost, set just below.
What counts as a "reworked order"
  1. A figure misread off the spec sheet (weight, GSM, dimensions)
  2. Wrong loop type or fabric used on the floor
  3. Production runs an old version of the spec — the revision didn't reach them in time
  4. Caught only after cutting/stitching has started, so the batch has to be remade
Avg cost to remake an order₹1,50,000
Enquiry-to-order win rate35%
Quotes sent on outdated rates15%
Quotes priced on material rates that had already moved by the time the order landed.
Avg order value₹5,00,000
Feeds the margin-protected estimate above, alongside win rate and price drift below.
Material share of price55%
Material price movement against you6%
How much PP granule / fabric rates typically move upward between quoting and ordering.
Reporting & tools
Manual reporting hours / month10 hrs
Time building MIS reports, costing sheets and management summaries by hand.
What's included in this time
  1. Compiling enquiry-to-order conversion numbers
  2. Costing / margin summary for management
  3. Production backlog & capacity reporting
  4. Formatting it all into a monthly MIS deck or sheet

The rows above show the expected case. Headline figures re-run the same maths with the capture rate 15 points lower and the margin bucket halved — margin multiplies five assumptions, so it's the softest of the five. ROI% = (conservative total − investment) ÷ investment × 100.

How this is estimated. Five buckets — labour, rework, margin, reporting, tools — each discounted by a conservative capture rate that never reaches 100%. The headline uses the low end of the range. Open "Show calculation" to check every formula against your own numbers. Figures are in ₹ and are an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee.
Not counted above. Customers also report winning more enquiries with faster, cleaner quotes, catching mismatches before dispatch, and onboarding new hires faster. Real, but we can't put a defensible rupee figure on them for your business — treat them as upside beyond the number above.
