What the calculator does
The calculator helps you estimate the potential return on investment and total cost of ownership of retail IoT technologies, such as electronic shelf labels (ESL), IoT sensors and smart store solutions. You enter your own store, labour and cost assumptions, and it produces an indicative view of total cost of ownership, benefits and payback for an IoT roll-out.
Who it's for
- Retail IoT vendors, such as ESL, sensor and smart store providers, building a business case with a retailer
- Retailers evaluating ESL, IoT sensor or smart store investments across a store estate
- Investors and advisors testing the commercial assumptions behind retail IoT roll-outs
What inputs you'll need
- Number of stores, typical store size and shelf-edge label count
- Current labour time and costs for tasks such as manual price changes and stock checks
- Expected IoT hardware, software, connectivity and installation costs
- Your own assumptions for benefits such as reduced waste, fewer pricing errors and better on-shelf availability
How to read the results
Treat the results as a starting point for discussion, not a forecast. Change one assumption at a time to see which IoT cost and benefit drivers matter most, and validate the numbers with your own finance team, advisors and vendors before making decisions.
