How much can you save with warehouse automation? Now you can calculate it
June 26, 2025
When it comes to warehouse automation, there’s one question that comes up more than any other: “What’s the ROI?”
It’s a fair question. Investing in automation is a strategic move, and one that leaders across logistics, retail, manufacturing, and 3PL want to get right. You know it’ll improve accuracy, reduce manual labour, and drive efficiency. But knowing how much value it will deliver, and how quickly, can be harder to pin down.
That’s why we commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct an independent Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study on DexoryView, our warehouse intelligence platform. Now, we're making the findings available through a new interactive ROI calculator, helping you understand what automation could mean for your warehouse.
What the study revealed
The Forrester TEI study was based on in-depth interviews with organisations already using DexoryView. It quantifies the value of automating inventory tracking and warehouse intelligence at scale through improved accuracy, reduced labour costs, and better utilisation of space and resources. The results were aggregated and combined to form a single composite organisation.
The headline numbers?
- 219% ROI over three years
- <6-month payback period
- $3 million in net present value (NPV)
- $4.31 million in benefits across reduced stockholding costs, faster cycle counts, and improved inventory integrity
These aren’t projections. They’re drawn from real-world customer implementations across global logistics operators, large distribution centres, and multi-site warehouse environments.
Why ROI matters more than ever
Visibility isn’t enough. You need proof. You need performance. And increasingly, you need to make a case for automation that speaks to financial leaders and operational teams alike.
With the ROI calculator, you can:
- Plug in your own warehouse data, number of locations, pallets, staff, and more
- See real-time projections for ROI, payback, and net benefits
- Download and share a tailored report to help build internal buy-in
It’s not a generic estimate, it’s your own business case, supported by independent study findings.
What drives DexoryView’s ROI?
The value comes from multiple sources, all made possible by combining autonomous scanning with real-time analytics and AI-powered intelligence. The key contributors to ROI include:
- Labour savings
DexoryView automates manual stock checks and cycle counts, saving time and reducing the need for additional FTEs. Some customers have reported labour time reductions of 70% or more.
- Improved inventory accuracy
By scanning up to 10,000+ locations per hour, Dexory’s robots ensure that your stock levels are always up to date. This helps eliminate errors, reduce misplacements, and avoid costly fulfilment issues.
- Stockholding optimisation
With real-time visibility, you can minimise excess inventory and reduce the capital tied up in stock, a particularly valuable outcome during times of inflation or constrained warehousing space.
- Faster resolution of discrepancies
DexoryView highlights mismatches in real time, helping teams proactively address issues before they disrupt operations. No more waiting days or weeks to uncover what went wrong.
