Estimates

Bank fees (cash)

$1,260per month

Fees paid to banks only, about $15,120 a year. It leaves out rework and goodwill.

(amendments × amendment fee) + (discrepancies × discrepancy fee)

(4 × $150) + (6 × $110) = $1,260

Team time and value (capacity, not cash)

20 hper month · $500 of time

Hours your team spends coordinating. It is capacity you could reuse, not money saved.

shipments × coordination hours = hours; hours × hourly cost = value

20 × 1 h = 20 h; 20 h × $25 = $500

Value of avoiding 25% (your assumption)

$315cash per month

Plus 5 h of capacity ($125 of time, not cash) if that share were avoided.

cash avoided = (bank fees) × share

($1,260) × 25% = $315

capacity freed = team hours × share = 20 h × 25% = 5 h

Estimates are illustrative and depend on your workflow, achievable automation and actual costs. They do not represent verified Okapi results.
