In order to grow in the market in a sustainable way, many companies have sought to invest in management systems and process automation. Consequently, when making a large investment in improvement projects, a quick financial return is expected.
According to a survey by the Association of Information and Communication Technology Companies (ICT) and Digital Technologies (Brasscom), it is estimated that in 2022 more than R$345 billion were invested in the IT area alone, mainly in big data, cloud storage and the famous internet of things (IoT).
It is important to remember that depending on where the investment is made, the financial return can be quick. In process automation, for example, payback can occur in up to three months. This is because the automation of projects allows the team to be directed to higher value services such as customer service and analysis, in addition to reducing errors, it enables the reduction of non-conformities, consequently increasing customer satisfaction.
Other investments that guarantee a quick payback are SaaS management software, as they reduce server costs, accompanying the company’s growth in a scalable way.
Fast payback example
Management software can optimize the planning and development of a company, in addition to making processes faster and more efficient. Ellevo, for example, has invested in management through the Ellevo Platform, which, in addition to being robust, is full of features for service management, process automation, help desk, service desk and Shared Services Center.
Another effective investment point that generates a quick payback is Ellevo Next, as it brings together solutions for help desk and service desk, allowing the automation of processes, in addition to facilitating internal and external customer service, contributing to the continuous improvement of the company’s routines and automating all internal business activities.
But after all, how to calculate the payback?
The payback is an estimate of how long it will take for the manager to recover his initial investment and to calculate it, all costs and average value per month of cash flow are considered. The payback period will always be the initial investment divided by the average cash flow result. So, it can be said that it is an important indicator to calculate the return time of an investment in a project. Calculating the payback provides several insights into the degree of liquidity and risk of the project, in addition to increasing the security of the company’s business.
