      Instructions how to use the ROI Calculator

      What you'll need

      To get the best results from the Calculator, you’ll need to bring a few key business figures. Don’t worry if they’re estimates — even rough numbers will provide valuable insights.

      Start by thinking about your product catalogue and where you sell your products.

      PRODUCT INFORMATION:

      • How many products (SKUs) do you currently manage or plan to launch?
      • How many attributes do you typically include for each product? For example, size, material and colour

      Why it's needed: The size and complexity of your product catalogue affect how much time your team spends managing product data. PIM can help streamline this process and reduce the workload.

      SALES CHANNELS AND LANGUAGES:

      • How many channels do you sell your products in (e.g. websites, marketplaces, retail stores)?
      • How many languages do you need your product data translated into?

      Why it's needed: Managing product information across multiple channels and languages can become complicated. PIM centralises and simplifies this, saving you time.

      Consider your team’s time and content creation costs.

      TEAM EFFICIENCY:

      • How much time is spent updating product data?
      • What’s the average hourly rate?

      Why it's needed: PIM reduces manual tasks, freeing your team for higher-value work.


      CONTENT CREATION COSTS:

      • How much do you pay for copywriting per word?
      • How much do you pay for translations per word?

      Why it's needed: AI tools automate content creation and translation, reducing time and costs.

      Think about how product launches impact revenue.

      • Revenue per Product: What’s your average revenue per product sale?
      • Daily Unit Sales: How many units do you sell per day?
      • Products Without PIM: How long does it take to launch products?

      Why it's needed: Faster launches and better product data improve sales and revenue.

      Here are a few tips to help you make
      the most of the Bluestone PIM ROI Calculator

      • Complete Your 3 Main Steps

        The calculator is divided into three main sections:

        Step 1: Your Manual Work Estimation

        Enter details such as the number of products, attributes, and your team's hourly rate to calculate how much time and money you can save by automating product data management.

        Step 2: Evaluate Your Current Product Data Management

        Select your current data management setup to estimate how Bluestone PIM can streamline your processes, reduce manual work, and improve overall efficiency.

        Step 3: Your Revenue Generation Potential

        Provide key figures like average revenue per product and daily unit sales to estimate how faster product launches and improved product data quality can drive your business's sales growth.

      • Calculate Your ROI

        After completing the above steps, calculate your savings from our two AI features:

        • AI Enrich: Calculate savings from automating product descriptions and content creation,

      STEP 2  SUMMARY

      Your time-to-maket reduction with Bluestone PIM
      hours faster
      Since you currently spend hours on manual data handling, a % time reduction equates to hours.
      (With an average of 20 working days a month and 8 hours a day, saving hours annually is equivalent to the work of full-time jobs over the course of a month.)
      Your Cost Savings with Bluestone PIM
      $ x.xx less
      Since you currently spend $ x.xx on manual data handling, a % time reduction allows you to save $ x.xx
      (The average monthly full-time salary in the EU is €3,166 gross, so a saving of $ x.xx is roughly equivalent to full-time jobs.)
      Now that you’ve calculated your time-to-market gains at %, let’s use this figure to determine how the saved days translate into additional revenue. We’ll multiply the extra selling days by your average daily sales and the average price per unit.

      The AI calculates costs based on the number of input and output tokens, with each token representing approximately four characters. The cost per token varies depending on the model used.

      Basic GPT Model: Less powerful, lower cost, produces simpler or less detailed responses, and might be faster due to smaller size or fewer computations.

      Advanced AI Model: More powerful, higher cost, produces higher-quality and more detailed responses, but could be slower because of increased computational complexity.

      Pricing for AI models often decreases with each new release, making advanced processing more cost-effective over time.
