How we worked this out

Staff time at £40 an hour over 46 working weeks.
Chasing time falls 50–70% when suppliers update orders in a shared portal (25–40% if some already use EDI or a portal).
Late order lines fall 20–40% with earlier visibility of supplier delays; capped at 3% of supplier spend.
About 3 hours per supplier a year on certificates and documents, cut by 40–60%.
Supplier risk & compliance exposure avoided: 0.1–0.3% of supplier spend.
Return compared with a typical Valuechain cost of £30–50k per site per year.
