Model the value of improving scheduling utilisation, job margin control, admin time, and invoicing speed. This is designed for trade contractors running a mix of short jobbing work and multi-day installs.
Field engineers
Headcount used for utilisation savings.
Office staff
Used for admin time savings.
Average engineer billable day rate
Use blended rate across labour lines.
Admin loaded hourly cost
Wages + NI + overhead (simple estimate).
Working weeks per year
Default assumes holiday and downtime.
Monthly subscription
Enter the proposal figure (ex VAT).
One-off implementation
Initial rollout and configuration (ex VAT).
Contract length (months)
Used for total cost and multi-year ROI views.
Recovered engineer time (hours per engineer per week)
Scheduling visibility, fewer gaps, less admin back-and-forth.
Margin recovered (% of annual install revenue)
Visibility on labour/material drift, better project control.
Annual install revenue
Only include the part where margin leakage is a risk (projects/installs).
Admin time saved (hours per office staff per week)
Less re-keying, fewer phone calls, faster invoice prep, cleaner workflow.
Invoice delay reduced (days)
Progress billing and faster job completion admin.
Average monthly invoicing
Used to estimate cash position uplift. (This is not profit, it is cash timing.)
Term total benefit
£0
Total benefit across the selected term (annualised levers x term length).
Term total cost
£0
Subscription with 3% annual uplift (years 2–3) + implementation.
Term net benefit
£0
Benefit minus total cost across the selected term.
Annual benefit
£0
Combined value from utilisation, margin control, admin savings, plus optional levers.
Annual Simpro cost
£0
Subscription (term-adjusted) plus implementation amortised over term.
Net benefit (year 1)
£0
Benefit minus subscription, minus full implementation in year 1.
Payback period
–
How quickly the benefit covers the initial investment.
Cash position uplift
£0
Approx. additional cash-in-hand from faster invoicing timing.
