How do you calculate the ROI of AI automation?

Multiply the hours saved each month by the loaded hourly cost of the people doing the work, subtract the monthly running cost, and compare the result with the upfront build cost. Payback period is the build cost divided by the net monthly saving.

What is a good payback period for an automation project?

A good first automation usually pays back within 12 months. High-volume tasks such as invoice processing or lead follow-up often pay back much faster.

What does AI automation cost at Eleova?
