How the calculation works

Your workload, your delivery cost, then the plan.

The core ROI uses the cost of manual work and retainers, less the current Vortex IQ subscription. Deployment risk and revenue influenced by organic visibility are shown separately and never added to the ROI total.

Manual workloadcatalogue + content + reporting + connector audit + store tickets

Catalogue and ticket assumptions are normalised from a completed commerce delivery project. Reporting and content defaults remain editable.

Manual costmanual hours x your rate + annual retainers

Use your loaded internal rate or the blended rate charged by your agency. No fixed labour rate is hidden in the calculation.

Net annual saving and ROImanual cost - annual Vortex IQ cost

ROI divides the net annual saving by the selected plan cost. Plan prices come from the same pricing data used on the pricing page.

Paybackannual Vortex IQ cost / manual cost x 12

This estimates how many months of avoided manual delivery cost would cover the selected annual plan.

Illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. The result uses the workload, cost and plan assumptions entered above. Actual coverage and savings depend on your store, approved scope and operating model. A free audit can verify the workload against your store before you make a decision.
