How to Calculate Your ROI
This ROI calculator estimates potential annual savings by translating complex shift scheduling conditions into measurable cost impact.
To calculate ROI, you enter key information about your frontline workforce and how schedules are managed today, including worker count, wages, overtime levels, scheduling effort, and the number of locations. You then reflect current operating conditions by rating common scheduling challenges, such as understaffing, reactive planning, supervisor workload, call‑offs, and overstaffing.
Optional inputs allow union‑driven organizations to include grievance‑related costs for a more complete view.
Based on these inputs, the calculator generates estimated total annual savings and a breakdown by category. Results can be saved or shared using a personalized link to support review, comparison, or internal alignment.

Workforce ROI Calculator for 24/7 Operations
Indeavor’s ROI calculator is purpose‑built for workforce environments where shift coverage, labor availability, and compliance must be managed continuously. Unlike generic tools, this calculator reflects the realities of automated 24/7 complex frontline shift scheduling across multiple locations.
The calculator uses your inputs to estimate potential annual savings related to:
- Overtime driven by coverage gaps or inefficient scheduling
- Manual scheduling effort across supervisors and locations
- Employee turnover in frontline roles
- Unplanned absences, call‑offs, and reactive backfills
- Overstaffing caused by lack of scheduling precision
- Union‑related scheduling and grievance costs, when applicable
By modeling these factors together, the ROI calculator helps identify where automation and improved scheduling adoption can deliver the greatest financial impact.
