Estimates based on AU industry averages. Results vary by shop size, market, and team adoption. Based on 52 working weeks. Workshop Wrench plan auto-selected by bay count.
ARO uplift (12%)
Industry data shows that workshops using digital estimate approval (customer portal / SMS approvals) increase their average repair order by 10–15% due to higher authorisation rates and clearer line-item presentation. We use 12% as a conservative midpoint. Formula: currentARO × 0.12 × (jobsPerDay × 250)
Admin time recovered (70%)
Workshops report spending 1–3 hours per day on manual admin: phone follow-ups, re-keying estimates, chasing approvals. Automated workflows recover approximately 70% of this. We value recovered time at $85 AUD/hr (blended tech + advisor rate). Formula: hoursLostAdmin × 0.7 × 85 × 250
Deferred work recovery (8%)
Structured deferred work tracking (recommendations not approved at this visit) recovers a portion of jobs on return visits. 8% of total job revenue is a conservative estimate for workshops that actively follow up. Formula: currentARO × 0.08 × (jobsPerDay × 250)
