In shortUse the ROI calculator to compare manual workflow conversion labor with Flow Migrator-assisted effort, optional platform savings, first-year value, and payback.
Most likely causeThe ROI calculator is a planning tool, not a fixed-price quote. It helps teams build an early business case by comparing manual workflow conversion labor with Flow Migrator-assisted analysis, package generation, remediation support, and UAT preparation.

What the ROI calculator is for

The ROI calculator is a planning tool, not a fixed-price quote. It helps teams build an early business case by comparing manual workflow conversion labor with Flow Migrator-assisted analysis, package generation, remediation support, and UAT preparation.

Use it before a sales call, MSP qualification session, or discovery workshop to show why manual rebuilds are expensive and why automated conversion support can reduce migration labor.

  • Manual and assisted conversion totals make the labor savings easy to explain.
  • Workflow complexity counts help tailor the estimate to the customer portfolio.
  • Optional platform savings can be added only when the customer can retire legacy licensing.
  • Payback and ROI summarize the first-year business case.

How to fill it out

  1. Enter workflow counts by complexity.
  2. Review the built-in manual and Flow Migrator-assisted effort model that calculates labor hours automatically.
  3. Enter the fully loaded hourly cost for the people who would do the conversion work.
  4. Enter the Flow Migrator investment and optional platform savings only when they apply.
  5. Review labor savings, first-year net savings, ROI, and payback.
  6. Copy the summary or download the CSV when you need a leave-behind for a sales or planning conversation.

How to use the result

A strong labor-savings result means the customer is likely a good candidate for an export-based assessment and representative pilot. A smaller result usually means the workflow estate is simple, small, or already well understood.

The best next step after the calculator is to run actual workflow exports through Flow Migrator so the estimate moves from sales assumptions to evidence from real workflow packages.
