Doing nothing isn't free. Here's what waiting costs you.
Adjust the numbers to match your operation. Everything below is built from figures you'd recognize — not our claims. The status quo has a price; this is it.
Time spent on manual order entry, inventory reconciliation, and chasing receivables — instead of selling. Add a line per role, each with its own rate.
Start from your real monthly volume, then dial in what's slipping to slow reorders, stockouts, or accounts drifting to a competitor — the losses you find out about too late.
Cash stuck in receivables can't buy inventory or make payroll. With no easy lending and 280E in play, that carrying cost is real money.
Where it's going, per month
What Apex gives back
The status quo above isn't just a cost — it's the ceiling on what you recover. Here's the same labor, in reverse: order handling and reporting time that Apex hands back, netted against the plan cost so the figure is real, not gross.
Built on the same logic as your existing savings model — per-order handling plus reporting, with Apex's time reduction applied.
What you recover, per month
Excludes upside this model can't price: new buyer leads, sales won from those leads, and CRM / pipeline efficiency. Recovered labor is the floor, not the ceiling.
