CO-PACKER INQUIRY WORKLOAD CALCULATOR

Estimate the work behind
early inquiry review.

Use your current inquiry volume and handling assumptions to estimate monthly staff time. The calculator describes your present workload; it does not predict what Vardello or any process change will save.

Estimate the time your team spends reviewing inquiries and following up on missing information. Start with the example below, then adjust it to reflect your process.

EXAMPLE ESTIMATE / PER MONTHADJUST THE INPUTS

$900estimated monthly staff time cost for inquiries that do not meet your criteria

With these inputs, early qualification takes about 33 hours per month — an estimated $1,500 in staff time.

About 20 of those hours are allocated to inquiries that do not meet your criteria, assuming the same average handling time per inquiry.

How this estimate is calculated

40 × (20 + 3 × 10) MIN = 33 HRS · × 60% = 20 HRS · × $45/HR

This estimates current workload, not time or money Vardello will save.

Vardello brings project details and qualification checks into one workflow. Your team can focus its follow-up on the gaps and opportunities that need attention.

METHOD AND BOUNDARIES

A transparent workload estimate, not an ROI promise.

Change each input to match a reasonable monthly average. If your inquiry types take very different amounts of time, calculate them separately and add the results.

01
Total time = inquiries × (initial review minutes + follow-ups × minutes per follow-up).
02
Non-fit time applies your estimated non-fit share to the same average handling time. It does not assume non-fit inquiries are faster or slower.
03
Staff cost multiplies hours by the hourly assumption you enter. Include salary and employer costs if that is the comparison you need.
04
No savings, conversion lift, capacity, or revenue result is calculated. Those require observed before-and-after data.
