Tell us about your setup

All figures are estimates – best guesses are fine.

1How many people are in your organisation in total?

2How 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…

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

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

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

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

5On 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.

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