What is quoting costing your team, and what would automating the routine replies give back? Enter your own numbers. Every assumption is shown and can be changed, and the defaults are deliberately conservative.
Amounts are in the currency you enter for staff cost and gross profit; plan prices are in AUD ex GST. Requests that Laneworks flags go to your team as they do today and are counted as no saving.
Hours given back is time your team no longer spends building routine quotes. Most teams spend it on the requests that need judgement, on following up quotes that went quiet, and on answering faster during peaks.
Value per month is that time at your staff cost, plus gross profit from any extra jobs if you enter a win-rate gain. Return on plan divides it by the monthly price.
The numbers that matter most are the share drafted ready to send and the minutes per quote. Both can be measured on your own requests before you pay anything: send 20 recent quote requests and the rate sheet used, and we send back what Laneworks would have quoted or flagged for each.

Forward one real quote request and the priced draft comes back in about two minutes, with a PDF quotation. No card, no call, no sign-up.
Quote requests per month, times the share drafted ready to send, times the minutes saved on each (minutes by hand minus minutes to check a draft). Requests that are flagged still go to your team and are counted as no saving, so the figure is conservative.
From the public Laneworks benchmark: of 22 typical quote requests run against a sample rate sheet, 14 were priced exactly (64%). The rest were flagged or answered with questions. Your own share depends on how complete your rate sheet is; the free accuracy test on 20 of your own requests measures it.
Often, but by how much varies by trade lane and customer, so the calculator leaves it at zero. Enter your own estimate in percentage points if you want to include it.
