Your business

People whose day-to-day work the ERP touches.

AED

Fully loaded cost per hour (salary + benefits + overhead). UAE default ≈ AED 60.

/ week

Per employee — re-keying data, chasing spreadsheets, reconciling systems.

%

Share of that wasted time the ERP recovers. Typical Odoo projects see 15–30%.

AED

Used to estimate value recovered from fewer errors and rework.

AED

Average stock or working-capital tied up. Leave 0 if not inventory-heavy.

AED

Licensing + implementation + support, annualised. Not sure? Use our TCO planning call to scope it.

How this ERP ROI is estimated

ERP ROI is the financial return you get from the time, errors and working capital an integrated system saves you, weighed against what it costs to run. This calculator uses three transparent, industry-recognised benefit drivers:

Labour & productivity savings

Employees × hours/week lost to manual or duplicate work × 52 weeks × loaded hourly cost × the efficiency gain you expect. This is usually the largest line — an ERP removes re-keying, reconciliation and chasing spreadsheets.

Fewer errors & rework

We recover 0.5% of annual revenue, a conservative estimate of the cost of pricing mistakes, duplicate orders, wrong invoices and the rework they cause once data lives in one system.

Inventory optimisation

If you carry stock, we take 20% of your inventory value as the annual carrying cost, then assume a 15% reduction from better demand visibility and fewer stock-outs. Set inventory to 0 if it does not apply.

The formulas

  • Annual benefit = labour savings + error/rework reduction + inventory optimisation.
  • First-year ROI % = ((annual benefit − annual ERP cost) ÷ annual ERP cost) × 100.
  • Payback (months) = annual ERP cost ÷ (annual benefit ÷ 12).
  • 3-year net benefit = (annual benefit × 3) − (annual ERP cost × 3).

Figures are indicative estimates based on conservative rules of thumb, not a guarantee or a quote. Your real ROI depends on your processes, data quality, adoption and project scope.

Frequently asked questions

What is ERP ROI?
ERP ROI is the return on investment of an ERP system — the financial benefit it delivers (labour saved, fewer errors, leaner inventory) measured against its cost. It is usually expressed as a percentage and as a payback period in months.
How is ERP ROI calculated?
ROI % = ((annual benefit − annual ERP cost) ÷ annual ERP cost) × 100. The annual benefit in this calculator combines labour and productivity savings, a reduction in errors and rework worth about 0.5% of revenue, and inventory carrying-cost optimisation.
What is a good ROI for an Odoo ERP project?
Well-scoped Odoo implementations commonly pay back within 12 to 24 months and reach a strong multi-year ROI, because Odoo replaces several disconnected tools with one integrated system. Your result depends on team size, process maturity and adoption.
What does an Odoo ERP cost in the UAE?
Total cost is licensing plus implementation plus support, annualised. It varies with the number of users, apps and customisation. Enter your best estimate in the calculator, or book a scoping call with Oakland for a costed plan tailored to your business.
Are these ROI figures guaranteed?
No. The calculator gives an indicative estimate from transparent, conservative industry rules of thumb. Actual ROI depends on your data quality, processes, adoption and scope. Our consultants can validate the numbers against your real operations.
