Freight backoffice ROI calculator

A standalone version of the calculator on logentic.nl. Move the four sliders to match your daily volume — booking emails, B/Ls, status updates, and team size — and see how many hours of capacity Logentic-style AI automation could free up per week, plus the equivalent operational cost saved per year. Same formula as the homepage tool, validated against actual customer offers.

Booking emails per day 25

B/Ls processed per day 15

Status updates per day 30

Team members on these tasks 3

Hours of capacity freed per week

Extra orders per day at the same headcount

€0

Equivalent operational cost saved per year

These are estimates. Actual results depend on your document mix, format consistency, TMS, and process maturity. The same numbers in two different forwarders give meaningfully different outcomes — the calculator is a starting point for an honest conversation, not a quote.

Methodology

The formula is the same one used on logentic.nl. It estimates the time AI automation accelerates per task, multiplied by team size and working weeks per year. The numbers are validated against actual customer offers (GD-iTS, Van Donge, PF Douane).

5 minutes saved per booking email. Average measured time to triage, classify, and enter a booking confirmation manually into a TMS, before AI extraction.
5 minutes saved per B/L processed. Reading the B/L, validating against booking, entering shipment fields. Includes both draft B/Ls and final B/Ls.
2 minutes saved per status update. Reading carrier email, finding the shipment in the TMS, updating ETA / vessel / port.
5 working days per week, 46 working weeks per year (accounts for public holidays, leave, sick days).
€30/hour fully-loaded labour rate — midpoint of €27.50–€35 fully-loaded rates from actual customer offers (gross + employer NL-NL social charges + overhead).
22 minutes per saved order on average — used to convert freed hours back into a "+X orders per day at the same headcount" metric.

The model assumes 100% of qualifying tasks are addressed by automation. In practice, AI handles 75–95% of well-formatted volume; expect the real-world number to land 10–25% below the calculator's output for the first 6 months while exceptions are tuned. After that, the gap closes.

See it on your own emails

The calculator gives a number. A 45-minute working session on 10 of your real booking emails gives you a defensible business case. No commitment, no migration — just whether the math holds for your actual document mix.
