When it comes to warehouse automation, there’s one question that comes up more than any other: “What’s the ROI?”
It’s a fair question. Investing in automation is a strategic move, and one that leaders across logistics, retail, manufacturing, and 3PL want to get right. You know it’ll improve accuracy, reduce manual labour, and drive efficiency. But knowing how much value it will deliver, and how quickly, can be harder to pin down.
That’s why Dexory commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct an independent Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study on DexoryView, their warehouse intelligence platform. Now, the findings are available through a new interactive ROI calculator, helping you understand what automation could mean for your warehouse.

What the study revealed
The Forrester TEI study was based on in-depth interviews with organisations already using DexoryView. It quantifies the value of automating inventory tracking and warehouse intelligence at scale through improved accuracy, reduced labour costs, and better utilisation of space and resources. The results were aggregated and combined to form a single composite organisation.
The headline numbers?
? 219% ROI over three years
? <6-month payback period
? $3 million in net present value (NPV)
? $4.31 million in benefits across reduced stockholding costs, faster cycle counts, and improved inventory integrity
These aren’t projections. They’re drawn from real-world customer implementations across global logistics operators, large distribution centres, and multi-site warehouse environments.
Why ROI matters more than ever
Visibility isn’t enough. You need proof. You need performance. And increasingly, you need to make a case for automation that speaks to financial leaders and operational teams alike. With the ROI calculator, you can:
? Plug in your own warehouse data, number of locations, pallets, staff, and more
? See real-time projections for ROI, payback, and net benefits
? Download and share a tailored report to help build internal buy-in
It’s not a generic estimate, it’s your own business case, supported by independent study findings. Whether you’re managing one warehouse or a global network, the ROI calculator gives you a fast, clear view of what DexoryView could deliver for your organisation. You’ll get:
? A tailored financial summary (ROI, payback, NPV)
? A breakdown of benefits and costs
? Downloadable charts to support business case development
All of it in under two minutes.
What drives DexoryView’s ROI?
The value comes from multiple sources, all made possible by combining autonomous scanning with real-time analytics and AI-powered intelligence. The key contributors to ROI include:
1. Labour savings
DexoryView automates manual stock checks and cycle counts, saving time and reducing the need for additional FTEs. Some customers have reported labour time reductions of 70% or more.
2. Improved inventory accuracy
By scanning up to 10,000+ locations per hour, Dexory’s robots ensure that your stock levels are always up to date. This helps eliminate errors, reduce misplacements, and avoid costly fulfilment issues.
3. Stockholding optimisation
With real-time visibility, you can minimise excess inventory and reduce the capital tied up in stock, a particularly valuable outcome during times of inflation or constrained warehousing space.
4. Faster resolution of discrepancies
DexoryView highlights mismatches in real time, helping teams proactively address issues before they disrupt operations. No more waiting days or weeks to uncover what went wrong.
Beyond the numbers: Operational and strategic wins
While the financial results speak volumes, the operational improvements enabled by DexoryView are equally compelling.
1. Inventory accuracy
With daily scans, organisations reported inventory accuracy reaching 99.9%, a massive leap from the industry norm. This not only improves planning and reduces write-offs, but also builds trust with customers.
2. Staff productivity and retention
By automating cycle counting, businesses reallocated staff to higher-value tasks instead of eliminating roles, boosting morale, efficiency, and retention. In one case, four cycle counters and a researcher were redeployed to revenue-generating departments.
3. Space optimisation
Real-time visibility into empty slots and overstocked areas meant smarter use of every square metre. The platform’s insights allowed one company to reduce stockholding time by 30%, increasing pallet churn and revenue per square metre.
4. Faster, cleaner audits
With automated daily reports, audit preparation no longer requires halting operations. One company reduced its audit prep time from five days to zero.
5. Health, safety, and cleanliness
The presence of Dexory robots led to improved warehouse conditions, from fewer forklifts on the floor to cleaner aisles and more legible barcodes. This translated into improved safety and even a 99.4% employee retention rate.
The real cost of waiting
Forrester’s study also highlights the risk of inaction. Businesses that delay automation face mounting costs, operational rigidity, and customer dissatisfaction. In a sector where real-time responsiveness is the new competitive edge, visibility gaps can cost millions.
Here’s what businesses stand to lose by sticking with manual or semi-automated processes:
? Labour-intensive operations are prone to error
? Overstocking and space inefficiencies
? Fines from missed SLAs
? Lost customer trust due to fulfilment errors
? Slow adaptation to market fluctuations
A scalable model for growth
Crucially, DexoryView’s benefits are scalable. The composite company only implemented the platform in three warehouses, yet unlocked nearly $3 million in net value. As companies expand usage across sites, standardised processes and centralised insights help scale performance consistently.
And with no upfront hardware purchase, Dexory retains ownership of the robot and provides full support through a subscription model, scaling is both fast and cost-effective.
Ready to take the next step?
DexoryView is a strategic advantage. With independent analysis now available, you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
Whether you’re looking to boost stock accuracy, reduce operational costs, or scale with resilience, Dexory is here to help you unlock the next level of warehouse intelligence.
