Estimate the ROI of reliable workflow automation

RoboHen focuses on measurable improvements: cycle time, error reduction, fewer escalations, and audit-ready execution. These examples show how teams typically quantify value before investing.

What We Mean by ROI

ROI is not just "time saved." We typically measure:

  • cycle time reduction
  • fewer manual touches and rework loops
  • fewer errors and downstream corrections
  • reduced approval bottlenecks
  • improved auditability and traceability
  • reduced operational risk

Example ROI Scenarios

Typical value drivers by function

Finance

Typical value drivers:

  • reduced manual entry and validation
  • fewer approval follow-ups
  • faster exception handling
  • fewer month-end surprises

Operations

Typical value drivers:

  • fewer tickets bouncing between teams
  • clear ownership and routing
  • fewer SLA breaches
  • better visibility for leadership

  • reduced access provisioning delays
  • more consistent employee experience

Reporting & Analytics

Typical value drivers:

  • reduced spreadsheet work
  • fewer last-minute corrections
  • faster report creation and distribution
  • more consistent definitions and governance

Sales Operations

Typical value drivers:

  • faster lead routing and handoffs
  • fewer missed SLAs and follow-up gaps
  • fewer duplicates and manual triage loops
  • clearer pipeline visibility and accountability

Private Equity

Typical value drivers:

  • standardization of workflows across portfolio companies
  • reduced variability and rework across operating teams
  • faster rollout of proven workflow patterns
  • better auditability and oversight at portfolio scale

How to Estimate ROI Quickly

To estimate ROI for a workflow, start with:

1

Volume

how many times per month does the workflow run?

2

Time per run

how long does it take today (including follow-ups)?

3

Error rate

how often does it require rework?

4

Escalations

how often do exceptions require leadership attention?

Then estimate improvements using conservative assumptions.

Important Notes

Actual results vary by workflow complexity, exception rate, integration boundaries, and operating model.

In a workflow assessment, we help you size the opportunity, identify constraints, and define an execution plan.
