Example calculation compared with paper and Excel. If you already work digitally, you save less. The quantities, where measured, are median values from anonymized fleet data, October 2026. The minutes for the work before and today are our assumptions, based on the time-value table of Germany's Statistisches Bundesamt, not a measurement at customers. Your result depends on your business. The savings only count if the time freed up is used differently or hours go down.

Check it with your own numbers.

Example: construction company with 10 vehicles and 12 pieces of equipment
