If you’re considering upgrading from fragmented systems, spreadsheets, or legacy tools, this calculator helps quantify what a Distributor Operating System can deliver.

Wage + on-costs (super, payroll, etc.).
Conservative: 20–35%. Strong: 40–60%.
Pricing mismatches, wrong items, missing PO info, re-picks, credits.
Labour + packing materials + credits/admin time (keep conservative).
Conservative: 15–30%. Strong: 40%+.
More orders processed with same team (capacity gain).
How much of added capacity becomes real incremental profit.
Set this to your pricing proposal for the distributor.
