What drives the number

ROI is driven by three operational levers

Manager coordination time
Manual call-off intake, documentation, employee outreach and response tracking all consume manager time.
Premium coverage cost
Overtime, agency staffing and other premium coverage methods can increase the cost of filling open shifts.
Operational disruption
Late awareness of call-offs can create staffing gaps, delayed shift starts and unnecessary scramble.
A worked example

Where the cost sits in a 500-employee operation

Roughly half the annual cost is cash you can see leaving the business. The other half is manager time that never appears on an invoice.

Direct cash outlay$351,000

“The amount of time, money and effort we could save by just knowing immediately when someone calls in would be huge.”
