Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RFID ROI estimate include and exclude?
The estimate includes four annual savings lines (stock-count labour, shrinkage, inventory accuracy value and staff productivity) and a one-time investment made up of readers, one tag per item and a setup cost. It adds nothing for lost sales, GST, antennas, software or replacement tags, so enter antennas and software in the setup cost if your project needs them.
What inputs does the RFID ROI calculator need?
It needs the number of items to track, staff count, staff cost per day, stock count frequency, staff days per count, annual shrinkage in rupees, current inventory accuracy, reader count and price, tag price and setup cost. It returns three figures: total investment, annual savings and payback period in months. It does not calculate a multi-year net benefit.
What payback period is realistic for RFID in India?
Most Indian deployments we have delivered pay back in 9-24 months. Retail item-level tagging and warehouse cycle counting sit at the fast end; fixed-asset audit projects are slower but produce compliance value that the calculator does not price.
Which savings does the calculator count?
It counts four lines: the staff cost saved on manual stock counts, a share of your annual shrinkage, the value of better inventory accuracy, and a staff productivity gain, set against a one-time cost for readers, tags and setup. It does not count lost sales, customer experience or audit confidence.
Does the estimate include tag costs at scale?
Yes, as a one-time cost. The calculator multiplies the number of items by your per-tag price and adds it to readers and setup in the total investment. It has no recurring annual tag line, so if you tag new stock every year, budget that ongoing label spend separately from the payback figure.
Can I get a costed proposal based on my numbers?
Yes. Share the calculator output with us and we will convert it into a specific bill of materials, delivery timeline and quotation for your site.
