How AI pays off on the order desk

On an order desk, much of the day goes into routine: typing orders in, looking up products in the ERP, answering standard questions. Hoshii takes this work over with AI. Orders are captured automatically, emails arrive prepared, and your team approves.

The time saved stays with the team: for customers, queries and exceptions. Order volume can grow without new roles growing at the same rate.

Worked example

An order desk of 8 people. Each handles 40 emails and orders a day, 6 minutes each. This is how the AI ROI calculator works it out:

Run it on your own numbers

Time per day 8 people × 40 items × 6 minutes 32 h
Time per year 32 h × 220 working days 7,040 h
Cost of that time 7,040 h × €42.42 hourly rate Hourly rate: €70,000 loaded cost divided by 220 days of 7.5 hours €298,667

Savings potential with Hoshii 70% of that time €209,067 a year 4,928 hours back · about €17,422 a month

Common questions about the ROI calculator

How much time does AI save on the order desk?

That depends on how much of the day is routine. On average Hoshii takes over 60 to 80% of the repetitive work, depending on how deeply it is connected. The calculator takes the middle, 70%. Your own figure we work out with you, on your real numbers.

What does manual order entry cost?

It depends on your volume. Work it out like this: orders per day times minutes per order times working days gives the hours per year. Your team’s hourly rate turns them into staff costs. The calculator above does exactly that.

Does Hoshii replace people on the order desk?

No. Hoshii takes over the typing and the matching, and your team keeps the decisions. The time saved goes to customers, queries and exceptions. Hoshii prepares, your team approves.
