What is manual order entry
actually costing you?
Distributors your size are paying skilled people to retype emails, PDFs, and faxes into the ERP — every day, on repeat. Move the sliders to see your number. No email required to see it.
Your operation
Advanced assumptions
Illustrative target based on an 85% touchless rate; phone orders counted as 40% addressable by document automation. Your audit replaces these with a measured baseline.
Want the line-by-line breakdown — and your number verified?
We'll send a one-page report with the full math, your channel-mix sensitivity, and the 90-day path to your touchless target. Then, if it's worth it, we'll verify the number on a real sample in a 20-minute call.
No spam, ever. One report and a single follow-up. Your data stays on US infrastructure.
Your order-intake leak — summary
[PLACEHOLDER: connect this form to MarginArc's CRM / email — currently the report renders client-side only.]
Assumptions & sources — every number shows its work
| Cost per manual order ($8–15) | Industry benchmark, Mirage Metrics (2026). Vendor-grade; your bottom-up figure (minutes × loaded rate) is used for your estimate. |
| ~15 min → ~45 sec per order | Conexiom / Revere Electric (vendor-reported). Used to frame the "after" state, not your baseline. |
| Up to ~80% faster / 10× volume | Conexiom, Proton.ai (vendor-reported). |
| Touchless rate 90%+ (top performers) | Vendor benchmark; we default your target to a conservative 85%. |
| Phone = 40% addressable | MarginArc assumption — document automation targets email/PDF/fax directly; phone is partially addressable. Conservative by design. |
| Audit $15–40K · build $40–120K | MarginArc pricing ladder; payback uses midpoints ($25K audit, $80K build), engine license excluded. |
| 1 FTE = 2,080 hours/year | Standard full-time-equivalent. |
This is an illustrative estimate, not a quote. The point of the AI Audit is to replace every assumption above with a measured number from your ERP and order sample — then we tie our fee to hitting it. No fit, no fee.
That's your leak. Let's verify it.
A working system you can measure in about two weeks — not a slide deck, not a sandbox demo. We'll baseline your real cost-per-order and put our build fee on hitting the number.
