Interactive Model — ROI & Payback
Model the numbers before you commit.
Two models in one tool. Operational Savings estimates what your operation saves by running on a command node instead of static manpower. Investment Payback models the return on building the node itself.
Inputs · 6 steps
Your operation
Tell us the shape of your deployment — we'll model the field manpower you'd need without a command node.
Static perimeter & access — fixed sites, gates and controlled zones.
Sizing rule: 1 operator per 100,000 sqft per 8-hour shift.
Each 8h of coverage = 1 shift slot. 24h includes rest-day coverage (≈ 3 operators per on-duty post).
Fully loaded ≈ 1.5–1.8× gross salary — covers leave, training, insurance, attrition cover and supervisor overhead.
More services = more manual coordination without the node. Each extra service beyond the first adds 15% implied headcount.
Auto-set from domain + area at S$5,500 per 100k sqft. Drag to override.

The node itself
Model the return on standing up the command node — from displaced internal manpower plus managed-service revenue from external clients.
Each site re-based onto the node displaces ≈ S$180k/yr of net field manpower.
Each external client contributes ≈ S$90k/yr net subscription margin. Annual node OpEx held at S$480k.
