Conservative, realistic numbers for small B2B teams (5–30 employees) in the DACH region — not “AI hype”.
Time saved → direct cost savings
Average loaded cost per hour in DACH: €40–€70.
If each key employee saves 5–10 hours per week:
- Team of 10 → €2,500–€5,000 saved every week
- €10,000–€20,000 per month
- €120,000–€240,000 per year
This is only from cutting repetitive admin work (emails, follow-ups, docs, CRM updates).
Faster processes, less overhead
Back-office (HR, ops, sales support, documentation) often costs €12,000–€25,000/month.
- 20–40% efficiency gain = €2,400–€10,000/month saved
- Fewer errors, less rework, fewer escalations
- Shorter time-to-close and faster cashflow
Total realistic ROI (90–180 days)
- Cost savings: €150,000–€400,000 per year
- Revenue uplift: €50,000–€800,000 per year
- IT cost reduction: €5,000–€50,000 per year
Combined realistic ROI for a small B2B team:
€200,000–€1,000,000+ yearly impact once core workflows are automated.
