How is this calculated?
  • We work out how many labels are replaced by hand over a year.
  • We find how many staff hours those replacements take.
  • Staff cost and printing consumable cost are calculated separately.
  • The two are combined into the annual cost of running labels by hand.

What is included

  • Time to prepare and replace labels
  • Staff cost
  • Paper, toner or other printing consumables

What is not included

  • The project and investment cost of the VyTag system
  • The cost of price differences between shelf and till
  • Wrong or repeated prints
  • Delayed promotions
  • Customer complaints
  • Other indirect costs inside the operation

This calculation is a preliminary assessment based only on the information you enter. It is not a firm project quote or a return-on-investment calculation. Amounts are in the currency you entered.
