💵 Measuring Cost Savings & Revenue Growth

The ultimate measure of software success is its impact on your bottom line. Custom software should reduce costs, optimize resources, and often create new revenue streams. Track the financials to prove value and guide reinvestment.

What to Track

• Cost Reduction: Lower third-party tool expenses and fewer licenses; labor savings from time reduction; error-related cost avoidance.
• Revenue Uplift: Increased retention, upsell/cross-sell, higher conversion, new product/service revenue.
• Financial Ratios: ROI = (Annual Benefit − Cost) ÷ Cost; Payback period; simple cash flow over 12–36 months.

Why It Matters

Financial metrics provide undeniable proof that your investment delivers real-world value. They also help prioritize the next set of features with the strongest return.
