Not sure of a figure? Leave the default. Each one is set at a typical, conservative value for a multi-site retail estate, so you still get a meaningful result. Replace any you know.
Your estate
Incident visibility
Includes store escalation, investigation and identifying the correct fix. Most retailers take at least 30 minutes just to detect a major outage.
Engineer call-outs
Each incident names the site, device and fault, so more issues are resolved remotely and engineers go out with the right information.
Optional
Include out-of-hours Wi-Fi savings?
HelmCore can power down Wi-Fi access points automatically when stores are closed. Choose Yes to add the estimated energy saving to your results.
Costs not reflected in these figures
This calculator counts critical incidents only. Every estate also carries costs that rarely appear on a report.
Customer experience
Queues, abandoned baskets and customers who choose another store next time.
Store team time
Staff on the phone to the helpdesk instead of serving customers.
IT hours
Time spent working out what is wrong, instead of knowing straight away.
Everyday issues
Slow payments, intermittent Wi-Fi and device faults that never become an outage but still slow trading.
Peak trading
61% of major payment outages happen during peak trading periods.
The real cost to your estate is likely to be higher than the figures shown here.
