Automated Workflow Time Cost Simulator
Compare manual workflow vs automated workflow across the same workload.
See how automation changes hours used, follow-up work, labor cost, FTE capacity, and queue backlog over time.

what it shows
How the same workload plays out under manual versus automated workflow handling.
How automation can reduce time spent, follow-up work, and labor cost depending on scenario inputs.
How recovered capacity appears as FTE savings, while backlog may shrink or remain stable based on input conditions.

This simulation lets users test how automation changes operational drag under different workload assumptions.
Depending on the inputs, the automated workflow can reduce hours, follow-up work, and labor cost while
improving capacity availability and keeping queues more controlled.
