You run a sq ft warehouse with pickers, % inventory accuracy, and $/hr average labor. That setup costs about $201,930 a year in errors, rework, and slow picking.

Nautilus typically recovers about $144,236 of that in year one. Similar amounts every year after.

How the math works

The assumptions.

Conservative averages from customer data and published WMS benchmarks. Your numbers will vary. For a precise estimate, book a call and we run the model on your real data.

Picker hours on picking: 600 hours per picker per year (≈30% of paid hours)
Route optimization: 20% reduction in pick travel time vs. manual route planning
Error cost: 6% of order value (rework, returns, expedited reships)
Error reduction: 70% fewer errors than current accuracy rate
Baseline shrinkage: $1.50 per sq ft per year of recoverable shrinkage
Order density: 2 orders per sq ft per year, $180 average order value
Cycle count efficiency: 40 hours per picker per year recovered through continuous counting
