Your workload, your delivery cost, then the plan.
The core ROI uses the cost of the manual hours the workforce takes on, less the Vortex IQ subscription. Your agency retainer is not counted as a saving: the agency stays, and the hours it gets back go into work that was not getting done. Deployment risk and revenue influenced by organic visibility are shown separately and never added to the ROI total.
catalogue + content + reporting + connector audit + store ticketsCatalogue and ticket assumptions are normalised from a completed commerce delivery project. Reporting and content defaults remain editable.
manual hours x your rateUse your loaded internal rate or the blended rate charged by your agency. No fixed labour rate is hidden in the calculation, and no retainer is assumed to disappear.
manual cost - annual Vortex IQ costROI divides the net annual saving by the selected plan cost. Plan prices come from the same pricing data used on the pricing page.
annual Vortex IQ cost / manual cost x 12This estimates how many months of avoided manual delivery cost would cover the selected annual plan.
