Calculation methodology
We prefer to display our assumptions publicly rather than announce an impressive figure without context. Each line can be audited:
- Time savings (€)
contracts/month × time/contract × 12 × hourly rate. The time entered covers printing, manual signature, scanning, archiving and follow-up — the complete cycle of the paper or email process.- Direct costs avoided (€)
contracts/month × postal cost × 12. Includes paper, ink, envelope, postage (and registered mail if applicable). This line is the most conservative: actual digitalisation savings go beyond it (physical archiving, filing cabinets, search time).- Revenue recovered on forgotten contracts (€)
contracts × loss % × conversion % × 1 200 €. Contracts that drag on never get signed and result in losing the corresponding deal. We estimate the average value of a B2B contract at 1 200 € — deliberately conservative. If your average basket is higher, your actual ROI will be higher than displayed.- Return on investment (months)

Average Data Source
The default ranges (45 min time, €45/hour cost, €3 postal shipping) come from independent studies on digitalising contractual processes. We synthesised operational feedback in the blog article "Digitalising contracts: concrete benefits". Our guides Electronic signature in business and eIDAS Regulation detail the associated regulatory frameworks.
