FAQ

Contact one of our Experts to learn more about how this ROI Calculator works.

How does the calculator show ROI?

The calculator takes the data you provide and combines it with industry benchmarks to estimate potential savings and margin improvements. It shows how improved forecasting and shorter lead times reduce stockouts and markdowns, helping you understand the impact on overall profitability. 

What’s the benefit of shorter lead times?

Shorter lead times allow retailers to respond faster to market demand. This means fewer stockouts, less lost revenue, and more flexibility to capture sales opportunities as trends shift. The result is higher margins and stronger ROI without increasing inventory. 

How reliable are the results?

The calculator provides directional estimates based on your inputs and industry benchmarks. Actual results may vary. 

Is this the only ROI model applicable to TradeBeyond’s end-to-end supply chain solution?

While this ROI calculator model is defined by looking at how reducing lead times speeds up product delivery, improving sales and reducing costs, there can be other drivers as well for ROI. TradeBeyond’s end-to-end solution also delivers ROI through their other core modules, such as Quality Management, which minimizes costly defects and returns, and Sustainability & Compliance, which reduces risk and ensures long-term brand value. In addition to all the combined modules, they create multiple paths for retailers to achieve measurable ROI.
