Service Trip Calculator
VPS Next on service trips
A manufacturing company with several production sites depends on specialized technicians to resolve equipment issues. With VPS Next's remote support, on-site technicians share their field of view and attention focus, letting experts guide troubleshooting remotely without having to travel themselves.
How we calculate your result
he following values are an example and use common benchmarks. Replace them in the calculator with your own figures.
Example values:
- Service calls per year: 240
- Percentage requiring on-site visit: 60% (= 144 trips). Industry-typical range: 40–70%, depending on equipment complexity.
- Average cost per service trip: €1,000. Typical range: €200–500 for simple truck rolls, €1,500–2,500 for industrial machinery visits with overnight travel.
- Reduction through remote support: 30% (conservative: 20%, top performer: 40%).
Calculation:
- Current annual service trip cost: 144 trips × €1,000 = €144,000
- Trips avoided with VPS Next: 144 × 30% = 43.2 trips
- Annual savings: 43.2 × €1,000 = €43,200
3-Year ROI:
- Total savings over 3 years: €129,600
- Estimated VPS Next investment (1 device): €4,500
- Net savings: €125,100
- Payback period: 1.3 months
Disclaimer
This figure covers hardware only. The VPS Next software license is billed separately as an annual subscription and is not included in the investment shown above or in the three-year total. Your actual payback period will be longer once the license is factored in. The calculation also assumes a single VPS Next device; if you want to equip multiple technicians or locations, your investment will scale accordingly.

Downtime Calculator
VPS Next reduces downtime
A company experiences around 150 technical failures involving machinery and equipment each year. When less experienced technicians run into complex issues, resolution time increases significantly: they need to contact experienced colleagues or wait for specialized support – while the affected equipment remains out of operation. VPS Next enables direct, real-time remote support: Experienced experts see exactly what the person on site sees and can provide immediate assistance with diagnostics and troubleshooting. This helps shorten repair times, reduce costly downtime, and get machinery and equipment back up and running faster.
How we calculate your result
The following values are an example and use common benchmarks. Replace them in the calculator with your own figures.
Example values
- Cases requiring expert support per year: 60 (only the failures that actually needed remote assistance)
- Current average resolution time: 4.5 hours
- MTTR reduction with remote guidance: 30% (= 1.35 hours saved per case). AR-assisted field service reduces repair times by 30–40% in documented cases.
- Hourly cost of downtime: €2,500 (single-asset or depot-level; significantly higher for full production lines, see sensitivity below).
- Technician hourly rate: €65
Calculation:
- Time saved per case: 4.5 h × 30% = 1.35 hours
- Downtime cost savings:60 × 1.35 × €2,500 = €202,500
- Labor cost savings: 60 × 1.35 × €65 = €5,265
- Total annual savings: €207,765
3-Year ROI:
- Total savings over 3 years: €623,295
- Estimated VPS Next investment (1 device): €4,500
- Net savings: €618,795
- Payback period: under 1 month

Onboarding new Employees Calculator
VPS Next in training and onboarding
Companies regularly train new employees and refresh existing staff's knowledge of processes and procedures. Traditional training relies heavily on experienced trainers' time and hands-on supervision, which is costly and difficult to scale. VPS Next captures the workflows and attention patterns of experienced experts and turns them into reusable training videos. New employees can watch them and follow the steps at their own pace. This reduces the time and effort required from both trainers and participants while maintaining a high standard of training quality.
How we calculate your result
The following values are an example and use common benchmarks. Replace them in the calculator with your own figures.
Example values:
- Training sessions per year: 50
- Hours per session: 8
- Combined hourly rate (trainer + participants): €200 (e.g. one trainer at €100/h plus two participants at €50/h each).
- Time savings through VPS Next: 30% (mid-range assumption; mixed-reality-guided training saves several hours per trainee in documented cases. Only claim 40–50% where backed by your own customer data. [VPS])
- Number of VPS Next devices: 1
Calculation:
- Current annual training cost:
50 × 8 h × €200 = €80,000 - Annual savings:
€80,000 × 30% = €24,000
(Note: Savings scale with your training volume and time savings — not with the number of devices. Devices affect only your investment cost below.)
Investment and ROI:
- Estimated VPS Next investment: 1 device × €4,500 = €4,500
- ROI: 433%
- Payback period: 2.3 months

Compliance/Documentation Calculator
VPS Next documents as you work
A quality management team spends a significant share of its time on documentation after job completion: writing inspection reports, filling out checklists, organizing photos, and transferring handwritten notes into digital systems. Report creation takes about 22 minutes per job on average, and with three jobs a day, that adds up to roughly 275 hours of administrative work per year. With VPS Next, part of the documentation can be captured hands-free during the job itself, for example through POV video (footage from the user's perspective), voice recordings, or snapshots. The captured information can then be transferred into existing QM systems.
How we calculate your result
The following values are an example and use common benchmarks. Replace them in the calculator with your own figures.
Your Inputs:
- Documentation hours per month: 20 hours (≈ 240 h/year).
- Employee hourly rate: €70 (fully loaded, incl. overhead; typical DACH rates for technical staff: €55–95/h depending on qualification).
- Time savings through VPS Next: 40% (conservative; case studies on assisted reporting cite up to 50–75%).
- Number of devices: 1
Calculation:
- Current monthly documentation cost:
20 h × €70 = €1,400 - Time saved per month:
20 h × 40% = 8 hours - Monthly savings:
8 h × €70 = €560 - Annual savings:
€560 × 12 = €6,720
3-Year ROI:
- Total savings over 3 years: €20,160
- Estimated VPS Next investment (1 device): €4,500
- Net savings: €15,660
- Payback period: 8.0 months
Additional Benefits Not Quantified Here:
- Improved documentation quality (visual evidence vs. handwritten notes)
- Faster incident analysis through timestamped video footage
- Reduced risk of missing critical inspection points
- Seamless integration with existing QM systems
