testbed | Nowsight

This tool asks for very little information and then creates a hypothetical savings potential based upon the data that you submit. This is not a quote or any sort of promise as to the savings that you would experience by implementing Nowsight™ in your organization but it is a handy tool that can help uncover where we think problems exist and how much waste we believe could be occurring. With all of that said, our lawyer says that we have to ask for you to agree that you understand all of those things...
You must agree:*
- I understand.

2. Tell us about the team that participates in collecting and analyzing your company data.
Your Team
How many on your team are involved in the collection, creation, and/or analysis of business data?
TIP- This number is often much higher than you may think. We have found that there are usually two additional staff-members that assist a manager in creating monthly reports. These dependencies are everywhere when reporting is performed manually. Our take: If you are going to err here, go a little higher than you think.
Time Investment
On average, how many hours per week do those team members spend gathering, collating, and analyzing data?
TIP- This number is just the average an employee might spend on generating reports over the course of a week. For instance, if Bob spends 10 hours and Bill spends 5 hours the average would be 7.5 hours.

3. Let's calculate an estimate of hard-costs associated with the time your staff spends on reporting.
Employee Hourly Rate
What is the average hourly pay rate for an employee?
TIP- A ballpark number here is ok but more accurate inputs always result in more accurate outputs. When calculating hourly costs don't forget to account for benefits too. We find that adding 35% is a pretty good catchall.

3. Now let's identify efficiencies and inefficiencies that are part of your existing reporting processes.
Distribution Method*
How does your company *primarily* distribute reports?
- We only discuss the numbers in a meeting(s)
- We email spreadsheets
- Shared spreadsheets are available on server
- Log in to app/platform
Data Lag*
How often do you get a 100% real-time view of your business? (ie. including deals, financials, inventories,...)
- I always see everything up to the minute
- Weekly
- Monthly
- At the end of the year

The Short Answer
You are a perfect fit for Nowsight™.
Based upon our experience, your organization has inefficiencies that are resulting in significant waste. If we could attack those inefficiencies we think that you could achieve payback on your investment in 6-8 months
