Introduction
En tant que dirigeant de PME, vous jonglez constamment avec les urgences. Un client mécontent, une rupture de stock, une erreur de facturation... Ces "petits" problèmes quotidiens font partie du jeu, n'est-ce pas ?
Et si ces frictions constantes n'étaient pas de simples désagréments, mais les symptômes d'un problème bien plus profond et coûteux : le chaos opérationnel ?
Le véritable danger du chaos opérationnel, ce n'est pas que le stress qu'il génère. C'est son coût. Un coût caché qui ronge vos marges, épuise vos équipes et freine votre croissance sans que vous ne puissiez mettre un chiffre précis dessus.
Nous avons créé un outil simple et puissant pour vous aider à quantifier ce coût.
En répondant à 8 questions rapides sur votre réalité opérationnelle, notre calculateur vous fournira une estimation fiable et conservative du montant que votre entreprise perd chaque année à cause du désordre.
Vous serez peut-être surpris de découvrir que les heures perdues en double saisie, les opportunités manquées à cause d'un manque de visibilité et les erreurs de processus représentent des dizaines, voire des centaines de milliers d'euros par an.

🚀 Ready to turn this cost into a profitable investment?
OXALYO helps you reduce these losses by 50 to 80% within 6 months through our integrated approach: Organisation + Odoo + Finance.
Our methodology is based on real data from our SME support projects and recognised industry studies. We provide you with a realistic and conservative estimate.
The calculator adapts to your selected country (Belgium, UK, or Portugal) with specific economic parameters for each market:
Parameter
🇧🇪 Belgium
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
🇵🇹 Portugal
Loaded hourly cost
€45/hour
£55/hour
€35/hour
Average CEO/Director salary
€80,000/year
£90,000/year
€60,000/year
Cost per additional tool (>3)
€2,000/year
£1,800/year
€1,500/year
Affected employees
60% of workforce
Cost Components Breakdown:
1. Wasted Time and Inefficiency Formula: (Wasted hours/week) × 52 weeks × (Loaded hourly cost) × (Number of affected employees)
We estimate that 60% of your workforce is impacted by these inefficiencies, a ratio consistently observed in our clients before transformation. The loaded hourly cost includes gross salary and employer contributions.
2. Stock Issues
Fixed values based on frequency, representing direct costs (tied-up capital, obsolescence, emergencies) and indirect costs (lost sales, logistical surcharges). Values are adjusted per country based on local market conditions.
3. Lack of Financial Visibility
Represents the opportunity cost of delayed decisions, cash flow surprises, and management time lost in manual analysis. For example, a 1-2 week delay costs €45,000/year in Belgium, £40,000/year in the UK, or €32,000/year in Portugal.
4. Multiple Tools Formula: (Number of tools - 3) × (Annual cost per tool)
We consider that up to 3 tools, management is feasible. Beyond that, costs escalate due to licenses, double-entry time, synchronisation errors, and scattered training.
5. Errors and Rework
Each tier represents the average cost of correction, customer impact, and generated overheads. Values are calibrated to each country's economic reality.
6. Management Time on Emergencies Formula: (Average director's salary) × (% of time on emergencies)
This represents the opportunity cost: every hour spent on an emergency is an hour not dedicated to strategy, business development, or innovation.
7. Lost Sales
Conservative estimate of lost gross margin on sales not closed due to delays, errors, or lack of responsiveness. Based on average market basket sizes in each country.
Important: This calculation is an estimate. The true cost of operational chaos also includes factors not quantified here: team stress, employee turnover, brand image degradation, and major growth opportunities you don't even have time to see.
Sources: Our analyses are based on SME support projects with revenues between €2M and €80M, as well as reference studies in operational management and corporate finance.
