Enter your company data and discover your potential savings in real time. Based on real statistics: 95% reduction in data entry time.

Why Calculate Your Document Automation ROI?

Italian SMEs spend an average of €26,400 per year on manual data entry for invoices, DDTs (transport documents) and customer orders into ERP systems such as SAP, Zucchetti and TeamSystem. Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) software eliminates this cost by reading any business document with AI and writing structured data directly into your management system.

The calculator is based on real data collected from hundreds of Italian companies using Data Alchemy to automate electronic invoices, transport documents, customer orders and other business documents.

How the Data Alchemy ROI Calculator Works

Our ROI calculator estimates your return on investment for document automation in three simple steps:

Enter your volumes: average number of documents processed per month (supplier invoices, DDTs, customer orders, supplier price lists).
Specify your current costs: average time per document, people dedicated to data entry and hourly cost.
Get your ROI in real time: annual savings in euros, hours freed and percentage time reduction.

Default parameters are based on real benchmarks collected from hundreds of Italian SMEs using Data Alchemy to automate processing of electronic XML invoices, transport documents and inbound orders into their SAP, Zucchetti and TeamSystem management systems.

For mid-sized Italian companies processing 500+ documents per month, a healthy return on investment for IDP (Intelligent Document Processing) software typically means:

Payback period under 6 months
Time reduction of at least 85% per document
Cost per document below €0.60 including validation
No monthly subscription: pay-per-use pricing scales with real volume

Data Alchemy clients reach these thresholds on average within the first quarter of use.
