This calculator accounts for all the hidden costs that can easily be overlooked and reveal how much do your staff really cost?
SwiftERM is a totally automatic email remarketing system, the only one in the world that is! If you’re serious about a like for like comparison between this any other email system begins by including your staff costs to the necessary turnover required for our competitor’s products to even begin to be viable as our equivalent is zero. That is a massive saving, even before you take into account absenteeism, errors and omissions and even malicious intent, none of which concern our users.
Below is an example based on a single person on £25k per annum, taxes and rates may vary between countries, it also illustrates what we have omitted to be seen to be fair and open.
