Tell us about your setup

All figures are estimates – best guesses are fine.

1 How many people are in your organisation in total?

2 How many distinct software platforms do you use to run day-to-day operations?

e.g. CRM, Accounting, Email, MS365, Project Management, HR/payroll, Customer Support, File Storage…

3 Roughly what do you spend in total on monthly software subscriptions? (AUD)

Best estimate is fine. Add up the recurring monthly charges across all platforms.

4 How many people across your business spend time manually moving data between systems?

This number cannot be larger than your answer to Question 1.

5 On average per person, how many hours per week does that work take – and what's their fully-loaded hourly rate?

Loaded rate = wages + super + overhead. If unsure, $60/hr is a reasonable AU average for admin or ops staff in an SMB.

6 How current is your operational data when you make business decisions?

Real-time Within a day Within a week Within a month

7 How would you describe your current tools?

Premium – best-in-class for what they do Mid-tier – doing the job Entry level, or outgrown – we've outpaced them Nothing fits well – constant workarounds
