Time & Cost Savings Calculator

See What Manual Case Entry Costs Your Lab

‍

A digital case may only take a few minutes to download, organize, enter, and verify, but across every case your lab receives, those minutes add up.

‍

Use the Digital Gateway Savings Calculator to estimate:

‍

  1. Time your team spends on manual case entry
  2. Potential labor cost savings
  3. Hours your team could save each month and year
  4. Additional case capacity as your lab grows

‍

Digital Gateway centralizes incoming digital orders and connects them to Magic Touch, helping your team move from scan to case creation with fewer manual steps and fewer opportunities for error.

Enter a few details about your current workflow to see the potential impact on your lab.

‍

Without Digital Gateway
• Open scanner portals individually
• Download and sort files manually
• Re-key case details
• Correct intake errors
• Manual production handoffs

With Digital Gateway
• Centralized intake workflow
• Automated file routing
• Reduced duplicate entry
• Earlier issue detection
• Faster production release

Estimates are based on common workflow improvements achieved when digital case intake, file management, and order processing are centralized through Magic Touch Digital Gateway. Results will vary by lab.

How are my estimated savings calculated?

The calculator uses the information you provide about your case volume, workdays, time spent entering each case, and labor costs. It then applies a preset workflow-efficiency assumption to estimate the time and labor your lab could potentially save.

What assumptions does the calculator use?

The calculator uses the information you provide about your digital case volume, workdays, manual entry time, and labor cost.

To estimate potential savings, it assumes:

  • Digital Gateway may reduce manual case-entry time by approximately 60%.
  • Up to 70% of saved time may be redirected to productive case work.
  • A full-time employee works approximately 160 hours per month.
  • Annual estimates are based on 12 months of operation.

These assumptions are directional benchmarks intended to illustrate potential workflow improvements. Actual results will vary based on your lab’s processes, staffing, case mix, technology, and adoption.

Where do these assumptions come from?

The calculator uses directional workflow benchmarks based on common improvements labs may experience when moving from manual or disconnected case-entry processes to a centralized digital workflow. They are not guarantees of performance.

Can I customize the numbers for my lab?

Yes. Enter information that reflects your current case volume, workflow, and labor costs. Using your lab’s actual numbers will provide a more relevant estimate.

What should I include in my labor cost?

You can use either the employee’s hourly wage or a fully loaded hourly labor cost that includes benefits and other employment expenses. Use the same approach consistently throughout the calculator.

Will my results be exact?

No. The results are directional estimates designed to help identify the potential size of the opportunity. Actual savings will depend on your case volume, current processes, staffing, technology, and adoption of the Digital Gateway workflow.

Does the estimate include additional case capacity?

Yes. The calculator can estimate how much saved time could potentially be redirected to productive case work. Added capacity does not guarantee additional case volume or revenue, but it can show what may become possible without adding the same level of administrative work.

Does Digital Gateway work with multiple scanning platforms?

Digital Gateway connects Magic Touch with leading scanning solutions and centralizes incoming digital orders. A Magic Touch consultant can review your current scanner environment and confirm which integrations fit your lab’s workflow.

Can multi-location labs use the calculator?

Yes. The calculator can help labs understand the potential impact of manual case entry across multiple teams or locations. Your Magic Touch consultant can also help determine the best way to evaluate a more complex operation.

Can someone help me validate my results?

Absolutely. Book a personalized consultation with Magic Touch to review your results, discuss how digital cases currently move through your lab, and identify where Digital Gateway could reduce manual work.
