#mobilestrategy" 12
Find areas that are “no brainers” where you can impact the largest
numbers – don’t analyze every metric
Apps don’t need to be large, expensive, or complex to have a great return….here are 3 steps: !
![Page 13: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
#1. Understand which large numbers you can
easily impact
![Page 14: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Understand the Baseline Metrics – Target “Large” Numbers
14
Sales Reps!Total headcount (by role)"Average revenue generated by role"Average # of orders per rep (existing)"Average # of orders per rep (new)"Loaded cost of sales reps"Average cost of sales by order type"
Customers!Total number of customers"Average revenue per customer"Existing customer demographics"New customer growth (or attrition)"
Revenue and Orders!Total revenue (annuity + new – lost)"Total number of leads"Total number of orders (lead convert)"Lead to order attrition"Revenue and cost per lead "Revenue and margin per order"
Time study!Time spent capturing info on paper"Time spent keying-in data (2nd touch)"Key daily activities (% breakdown)"Information created vs. consumed %"
![Page 15: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mobile Opportunity • Capture data directly into a digital format rather than paper to digital • Week long process reduced to a day • Facilitate immediate conversations/review rather than a multi-day delay • Improve process adherence, higher adoption, and better task completion
Benefits • Quantitative:
• Reduce task time by over 5 hours per week (per user) • Increase the time spent on critical oversight rather than operational “muck”
• Qualitative: • Improve compliance for completing the task(s) • Improved accuracy of the captured information • Immediate feedback and adjustments before tasks are assigned (no wasted time) • Time with manager/employee becomes more about coaching
Example: Targeting Hundreds of User’s Paper Processes
![Page 16: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
#2. Identify areas of the business that can be
impacted easily
![Page 17: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• The cost of an app is the same – regardless of whether 10 people or 1000 people use the app • Return accumulates by scaling benefits across similar roles
• Processes that are common across the enterprise are good candidates for sharing the cost of a single app/platform – avoid silo projects
• Processes that can be simplified, shortened, or
made available at more convenient times will create efficiencies through a mobile channel
What Role and Process Will Provide the Largest Return?
![Page 18: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mobile Opportunity • Some industries require users to use Enterprise systems to complete approval
workflows for Work Orders; however they are either working on the floor, traveling, or not at their desk while in the office.
• Provide mobile access that will reduce workflow delays • Take advantage of “down time” since the mobile device is always connected
and with the users…apply to field service, manufacturing factory floor, retail, healthcare, etc.
Benefits • Quantitative:
• Reduce time of approval for time-critical purchases • No major enterprise system updates required, only a lite mobile façade was
required • Qualitative:
• Shift the approval task to a more convenient time • Quicker approvals and preserve “desk time” to more critical tasks • One-button reject, reason codes, and alerts for exceptions
Example: Work Order Effectiveness and Efficiency

#3. Take advantage of the “sunk cost” of
existing investments
![Page 20: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Target devices that are already managed, or will be managed under a corporate use policy • Corporate Liable, Personal Liable, BYOD/CYOD • More device types = more app costs to recover
• Identify existing integration or design new
integration to be shared across other initiatives, specifically friendly for mobile apps. • Login, authentication, HR, financials, CRM, ERP, etc.
• Create reusable application technology
• Mobile Libraries, Widgets, Modules, and 3rd party assets
Create Reusability and Leverage Existing Investments
![Page 21: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mobile Opportunity • Leverage the already purchased iPads (sunk cost) • Prior mobile project justified hardware (pre-planned to spread cost across apps) • Shorten the sales cycle and improve the win rate (3 à 2) • Remove the available window that competition can potentially engage • Address customer objections and provide real-time quoting and customer
acceptance
Benefits • Quantitative:
• The average number of sales/calls (visits) was reduced from 3 to 2 • Cost of sales reduced by over 30%, • Increased win rate and shortened sales cycle • No new mobile device purchases were required (cost avoidance)
• Qualitative: • Customer engagement is more productive (high-value relationship with the customer) • Shorter sales cycles means more opportunities can be addressed
Example: Enhanced Sales Capability

Q: Where do we start to build a high ROI mobile app?

![Page 23: How to Assess the ROI of your Mobile App Initiatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5485a8045806b5a9588b47ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ensure the benefit exceeds the potential risk compared to other
apps in the portfolio
The ideal app candidate will fall into the following categories:!
23
1. Low Risk (data, access, devices) 2. High Business Value / Readiness 3. Low Technical Complexity!

Q: What are the key dependencies or potential barriers for mobile ROI?

Key ROI Dependencies (top line benefit) • Well defined roles and user experience • Day-in-a life analysis (not a “requirement” list) • Devices that are already a “sunk cost” • Low risk data with highly mature processes
Key ROI Dependencies (below the line cost) • High-impact roles (large number of users) • Invest in a prototype • Device focus (select key devices and OS types) • Reuse existing integration (if available)

Mobile Opportunity • Need a better way to communicate driving route instructions/changes • Tribal knowledge not easily translated to substitute route drivers • Overtime hours incurred, low customer satisfaction, and incomplete deliveries
Benefits • Quantitative:
• 270,000 overtime hours billed due to extended work days related to confusion • Fuel and vehicle maintenance costs reduced through better coordination
• Qualitative: • Customer satisfaction and first-call service statistics improved • Employee/driver efficiency and satisfaction improved • Central management for directions eliminates confusion
Innovation: Net-New Capability Through Mobile
Mobile app cost < $100k Financial savings over $3 Million in operational costs
