What is paper, point tools, and the language gap costing you?

Most of the cost of running a frontline operation is invisible: time lost to paper and chasing, a stack of overlapping subscriptions, and instructions that never land with a multilingual crew. Set the dials to your operation and see the number.

Time lost to paper and chasing

Hard to put an exact number on it? Pick what fits your operation. We turn it into time-lost benchmarks behind the scenes, starting from our study of frontline floors.

A conservative estimate, gross of UnDesked's subscription, which replaces the tools above. See how this is calculated below.

How this is calculated.

No black box. Adjust the dials and the math below updates with them. Every default is a conservative, sourced starting point you can change.

Time lost to paper

Workers and supervisors times the hours each loses a week, times the loaded hourly cost, across 48 working weeks. Your "paper" choice sets those hours; the Typical default uses about 6 hours for workers and 8 for supervisors, from UnDesked's operational analysis of frontline floors.1

Point-tool sprawl

The sum of the separate subscriptions you ticked. Consolidation recovery is modeled at 70 percent, leaving room for one platform that replaces them. Annual figures per tool are conservative mid-market estimates.2

The language gap

Scaled by your multilingual share, at roughly 1.5 added hours a week per multilingual worker from misread instructions, slower onboarding, and rework. Translation is modeled to close 60 percent of it.3

Recovery rates are deliberately conservative: 70 percent of tool spend, 40 percent of lost time, 60 percent of the language gap. Your real number depends on your floors. We will build it with you.

The supercharger

The line most calculators miss.

Tool sprawl and paper are real costs. The one almost no one prices is the language gap. When a quarter of workplace incidents involve a language barrier, an instruction a worker cannot read is rework, a failed audit, or an injury.3

UnDesked authors each workflow once and delivers it in every worker's language, automatically, in 210+ languages. Move the multilingual dial and watch that cost move with it.
