How much does your warehouse really cost? Calculate your potential savings now by using a WMS.

The calculator determines the potential annual savings that can be achieved by using a warehouse management system (WMS).
Factors taken into account include productivity gains, reduced error costs, fewer returns, fewer expedites, reduced inventory, and savings in onboarding and operating costs.

The calculation is based on:

• Your individually entered warehouse key figures (e.g. picks, orders, FTE, wages, error rates),

• industry-standard empirical values from real WMS projects,

• as well as defined scenario factors (conservative, standard, ambitious).

These factors reflect typical effects achieved through structured processes, system support and transparency in the warehouse.

The scenario factors take into account that savings potential may vary depending on the initial situation, process maturity and degree of implementation:

• Conservative (85 %): cautious estimate for already well-organised camps

• Standard (100 %): realistic average assumption

• Ambitious (115 %): high potential in highly manual or inefficient processes

This will give you a realistic range of possible savings.

The calculator takes into account the following effects, among others:

• Reduction of picking errors

• Fewer returns through process improvements

• Reduced expedited and express costs

• Reduction of SLA penalties

• Saving travel and search times

• Reduction of safety stocks and capital costs

• Shorter training periods for new employees

All effects are converted into monetary savings per year.

The calculator does not provide a binding profitability calculation, but rather a well-founded indication of the potential savings.
The actual results depend, among other things, on:

• Process design and implementation quality

• Warehouse structure and degree of automation

• Change management and training

For an accurate ROI calculation, we recommend an individual analysis of your warehouse.

A WMS increases inventory transparency and planning reliability. This allows safety stocks to be reduced and tied-up capital to be freed up.
The calculator takes this into account via the inventory value and the cost of capital in order to realistically reflect this effect.

The annual licence and maintenance costs you specify are taken into account to calculate realistic net savings.
This means you can see not only the savings, but also the actual economic effect on ongoing operations.

The calculator is particularly suitable for:

• manual or semi-automated warehouses

• E-commerce, trade and production logistics

• Warehouses with increasing volumes or skills shortages

For highly automated high-performance centres, an individual assessment may be more appropriate.

No. The calculator is an introductory and decision-making tool.
It highlights potential, but does not replace a detailed process assessment or system selection. We would be happy to support you in the next step with an individual ROI and process analysis.
