Here’s a quick estimate based on real-life cases. Add up the points that apply to you 👇
Processing time per product
How long does it take you to gather all the information needed to create a complete product sheet?
Less than 15 minutes → €0
Between 15 and 45 minutes → €30 per product
More than 1 hour → €50 per product
Number of people involved in a product sheet
How many people approve or modify a sheet before publication?
1 to 2 people → €0
3 to 5 → €20 per product
6 or more → €40 per product
Frequency of errors or returns related to product data
How often do errors cost you money?
Rarely → €0
A few times a month → €150
Regularly → €500 or more
Number of channels to update (website, marketplaces, catalog, etc.)
How many different channels do you need to update?
1 → €0
2 to 3 → €100
4 or more → €300 or more (per month)
Average time to launch a new product
How long does it take from the moment the product is ready to its publication on all your channels?
Less than 1 day → €0
2 to 5 days → €200 per launch
More than a week → €500 per launch
Let's take a common example: 200 product sheets 3 people involved each time 2 distribution channels 1 hour of processing per sheet Product errors every month
👉 Result?
You lose an average of between €3,000 and €5,000 per month
(in time, errors, and missed opportunities).
