Before / AfterWorkflow Simulator

Pick a workflow and how many items your teams handle in a week. The simulator runs it the manual way and the connected way, step by step.

Four common field-to-office workflows. Each has its own step list, shown on the right.
Reports, deliveries, requests or reviews across all teams.
Used only to put a value on handling time.

      Assumptions behind this run

      Each step has an illustrative hands-on time per item, a typical wait before the next step can start, and for error-prone steps a share of items that need a correction. The table below is what the simulator used. They are starting points from how these workflows commonly run, not measurements of your operation.

      Handling hours = sum of minutes per item × items, plus correction time, ÷ 60. Lag = sum of the waits. Follow-ups = sum of error shares × items. A year is 48 working weeks.
