Companies that trust us

Pace Labs' app saves us a lot of time and lets us work faster every day. It’s streamlined how we work and lets us focus on what really matters: building great products.

James ChangProduct Manager @ Salesforce

We build custom apps made just for your team. They match how you work with no extra steps, no wasted time. Our apps help you work faster by automating manual tasks and putting all your tools in one easy place.

Most teams see 30–50% more work done with no other changes. That’s like adding new full-time team members—without paying extra salaries.

This means you can finish more projects, help customers quicker, and grow your business faster. Companies like Salesforce choose us because our apps don’t just save time; they keep giving you an advantage every single month.

About this work growth estimator

According to Harvard Business Review, employees lose 9% of their time just switching between applications—nearly a full work month every year.

Meanwhile, Asana’s Anatomy of Work Report found that knowledge workers could save 6.2 hours per week through better tools and processes, and that 62% of their work is repetitive and automatable.

When combined with modern automation and AI, these inefficiencies represent a massive opportunity for startups: reducing wasted effort, improving clarity, and reinvesting time into meaningful, high-leverage work.

Our growth estimator takes all of this into account—calculating not just the time saved from tool consolidation, but also the potential upside of automating routine tasks, aligning goals, and improving overall team velocity.

Estimate the potential impact of streamlining your workflows. Enter your team’s size, workload, tech stack, and automation potential to discover:

  1. ⏱️ Hours recaptured per month
  2. 💰 Cost savings per month
  3. 👥 Full-time equivalent (FTE) gained
  4. 📈 ROI estimate
  5. 📆 Time to payback

How it works

  1. Context-switch savings
    Every extra app you juggle costs you about 1% of your weekly hours in “toggle tax.” We calculate time recaptured by reducing that burden.
  2. Automation savings
    Automatable tasks (e.g. data entry, notifications, simple approvals) can free up a fixed percentage of your week. Slide to adjust your team’s realistic automation potential.
  3. Team-wide impact
    We scale those per-employee savings across your entire team and convert hours into dollars using your average monthly income.
  4. ROI & payback
    See how quickly your investment in a custom app pays for itself and what sort of return your organization can expect over a year.

Understanding the Inputs

  1. Number of employees
    The total count of team members whose workflows you plan to optimize.
  2. Hours of work per week
    The average number of hours each employee spends on the job each week.
  3. Average monthly income per role
    The typical gross monthly salary (or fully loaded cost) for one employee.
  4. Number of apps
    How many distinct software tools your team switches between in a typical week.
  5. Automatable tasks (% of work)
    The share of repetitive or manual tasks you expect to eliminate via automation.

Methodology

  1. Toggle Tax: Studies show that switching between 8–16 apps costs knowledge workers ~9–10 hours per week . In our conservative model we assume 1% of weekly hours lost per extra app beyond the first.
  2. Automation Potential: Asana finds that up to 62% of the workday are lost to repetitive, mundane tasks. We let you set a realistic 0–50% automatable range.
  3. Financial Conversion: We multiply the total hours saved by your derived hourly rate (monthly income ÷ total monthly hours).

Why it matters

  1. Improve focus: Fewer interruptions mean more head-down time on mission-critical work.
  2. Boost morale: Automating tedious tasks lets your team spend time on what they were hired to do.
  3. Drive growth: Time saved is money earned—invest it back into strategic projects.

FAQs

Q: How realistic is the “automatable tasks” slider?
A: Most companies find 5–15% of their weekly workload is ripe for simple automation—data syncs, notifications, status updates, etc.

Q: What about meetings and collaboration?
A: This tool focuses on app-switching and routine tasks. For deeper cross-team efficiency gains (fewer meetings, clearer processes), check out our full consulting packages.

Q: Can I trust these estimates?
A: These are conservative, data-driven projections. Your actual savings may vary based on your workflows, team habits, and scope of automation.
