The calculation hits hardest for industries where assets are central to operations: manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, retail, and IT-heavy office environments.\"},{\"question\":\"How accurate are the calculator's estimates?\",\"answer\":\"Estimates are based on industry benchmarks and our own implementation data. We bias toward minimums — when the real number could be 30% or 50%, we use 30. The point is to show a realistic floor, not a hopeful ceiling.\"},{\"question\":\"Can I customize the calculator for my specific industry?\",\"answer\":\"The calculator ships with industry profiles for healthcare, manufacturing, retail, IT, and logistics. Every number behind those profiles can be overridden — loss rate, downtime cost, hourly labor cost, anything — to fit your actual situation.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Using the Calculator\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"How do I get started with the calculator?\",\"answer\":\"Select your industry, enter asset count and average asset cost. Click 'Show parameters' in any section to override the defaults. The running total updates in the sidebar and at the bottom of the page.\"},{\"question\":\"What data do I need to use the calculator effectively?\",\"answer\":\"Asset count and average asset cost get you a baseline. For tighter numbers, add: how many people touch asset management, how much time they spend on audits and inventory, your current loss rate, and any downtime costs you can estimate. Anything missing falls back to the industry profile defaults.\"},{\"question\":\"How long does it take to complete a calculation?\",\"answer\":\"Basic estimate: about three minutes. Full customization of every parameter: 5-10 minutes.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Understanding the Results\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"What does 'Asset Accounting' savings mean?\",\"answer\":\"The hours your team currently burns on manual asset tracking and data entry. Automated tracking takes 70-80% of that time back, straight into the labor-cost column.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the calculator estimate inventory savings?\",\"answer\":\"Mostly: what used to take three days takes one. Mobile scanning and automated reconciliation cut physical-inventory time by 60-80% in most setups.\"},{\"question\":\"What are 'Asset Losses' and how are they calculated?\",\"answer\":\"Theft, misplacement, things that just walked out the door. Industry loss rates run from 1% to 6% depending on sector. Real tracking knocks that down to 0.3-1% — partly through accountability, partly because the chain of custody is now visible.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the calculator handle procurement optimization?\",\"answer\":\"Duplicate purchases happen when nobody knows the asset already exists somewhere on a shelf. Studies put this at 3-7% of procurement budgets. With proper visibility it drops by roughly 80-90% — you stop buying what you already own.\"},{\"question\":\"What downtime costs does the calculator consider?\",\"answer\":\"Lost productivity while equipment is unavailable. Defaults are 10-200 downtime hours per year and $20-100 per hour, depending on sector. Preventive maintenance and better monitoring compress both numbers.\"},{\"question\":\"How are maintenance cost savings calculated?\",\"answer\":\"Annual maintenance for most asset categories runs 10-30% of asset value. Scheduled maintenance with cost transparency brings that down by 20-40%. Some of the saving is fewer emergency repairs; some is just not maintaining things that don't need it yet.\"},{\"question\":\"What does 'Asset Utilization' measure?\",\"answer\":\"How much of your capacity is actually getting used. Most companies sit at 55-75%. With usage patterns and idle time visible, that climbs to 90-95% — without buying anything new.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Data Sources & Methodology\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"Where does the calculator get its benchmark data?\",\"answer\":\"A mix of published industry research on procurement waste, maintenance cost benchmarks, and utilization studies — combined with our own implementation data. We don't claim individual studies as endorsements; they're inputs to the math.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are the savings estimates conservative?\",\"answer\":\"Conservative numbers protect you from being disappointed. The intangible upsides — fewer audit headaches, less finger-pointing about who has what, faster compliance — aren't in the calculator because they're hard to quantify. They're real, just not counted.\"},{\"question\":\"Can the calculator scale for companies of different sizes?\",\"answer\":\"The math scales with your numbers. 50 assets, 50,000 assets — same methodology, proportional outputs.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Next Steps\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"Is there a free trial or demo available?\",\"answer\":\"Free for your first 50 assets — no card, no time limit. For anything bigger, talk to sales and we'll walk through your specific numbers on a demo.\"},{\"question\":\"What should I do after getting my ROI calculation?\",\"answer\":\"Send us the calculation. We'll refine it against your actual numbers and walk through what an implementation looks like for your environment.\"},{\"question\":\"How quickly can I expect to see ROI from UNIO24?\",\"answer\":\"ROI tends to show up within a few months — the immediate wins are usually loss prevention and faster audits. The calculator gives you an annual figure, but you'll feel the change well before twelve months.\"}]}]","Frequently asked questions",{"title":21,"searchDepth":64,"depth":64,"links":65},2,[],"Use our free asset management ROI tool to calculate savings on inventory, maintenance, and downtime.
