The Cost of Not Knowing

Your logistics spend has a story. Most teams never read it.

Fleet underutilization, manual planning, and missed OTIF targets drain margin — but most teams cannot quantify the leakage.

This calculator turns your logistics setup into a 3-minute business case — grounded in benchmarks from deployments across North America, Europe, and Asia.

🚚

Fleet & routes

Empty miles, low utilization, poor route density — vehicles paid for but underused.

📋

Planning labour

Hours lost to manual dispatch and replanning when conditions change mid-day.

📦

Fulfillment & OTIF

Missed targets, redeliveries, retailer fines, customer churn — every failed promise compounds.

💸

Transportation drift

Freight spend rising without clear drivers — costs creep upward outside the planning lens.

What You'll Discover

From leakage to a number you can defend.

Your results quantify hard savings and soft benefits — what you spend today vs. what changes with Locus.

Annual leakage by cost driver — empty running, idle capacity, failed deliveries, missed consolidation, manual planning.

Savings across three scenarios — conservative, most likely, and aggressive rollouts.

Route, fleet, and labour impact from AI-driven dispatch and dynamic rerouting.

Managed-service economics vs. in-house operations — when staffing arbitrage compounds platform savings.

Growth scenario — how the savings gap widens as your volume scales.

Manual planning teams see the largest uplift — typically 10–25% efficiency gains and 15–40% labour reduction on planning workflows. Every result maps to a real Locus capability.

The Platform Behind Your Simulation

Every savings line ties to a real Locus capability.

The same platform behind 360+ brands and $320M+ in delivered logistics cost savings.

🧭 Dispatch Planning

AI route optimization across 180+ variables — cuts empty miles, raises OTIF.

🚛 Fleet & Capacity

Owned and contracted fleet optimization, utilization, and route density.

🔄 Delivery Orchestration

“We use Locus for real-time tracking of delivery shipments. This provides us transport visibility, helping us manage trucks more closely and proactively detect the possible issue and update delivery status to customers. In addition, the E-POD management solution saves us a lot of time and effort, as all information is stored on the Locus platform. We are glad to be working with Team Locus.”
Ly Trung Kien · Group Logistics Manager, Nestle
“Locus has elevated our logistics operations to new heights of performance and productivity. Their advanced parcel sorting technology, combined with geocoding and route allocation, has transformed our order processing, resulting in faster order cycle times and 95% route mapping accuracy.”
Juster Correia · General Manager, Operations, Blue Dart
Frequently Asked Questions

Everything teams ask before they run the simulator.

Schema-marked for search — pulled into AI Overviews and Perplexity answers when teams research logistics ROI tooling.

What is a logistics ROI calculator?
Estimates return from route optimization, fleet utilization, and reduced planning costs — using regional benchmarks for North America, Europe, and Asia.
How does the Locus logistics cost calculator work?
Pick a region, complete the 8-step form, enter your work email, view results on-page. Benchmarks pre-fill key metrics. No download required.
Which regions does the calculator support?
Three regions only: North America (USD, miles), Europe (EUR, km), and Asia (USD, km). Benchmarks, currency, and distance units update based on your Step 1 selection.
Is the logistics ROI calculator free?
Yes. Run the simulation free. Enter your work email to view your results on the page. Results display in the UI — there is no PDF or Excel export. Locus support may follow up with benchmarks relevant to your operation.
What do I see after running the simulation?
An on-page dashboard with five tabs: Where are you today, Where Money is Leaking, What Locus Changes, What happens when you grow, and What to do next. Use Edit Input to adjust assumptions anytime.
What logistics cost savings and efficiency gains can I expect?
Depends on planning maturity and fleet mix. Manual planning teams see the largest uplift. Typical: 10–25% process efficiency; 15–40% labour reduction on planning workflows.
How does the calculator use fleet utilization and related metrics?
Benchmarks fleet utilization rate, empty running, OTIF, planning hours, and stops per route.
How accurate are the results?
Depends on your inputs. Refine annual spend, transportation costs, and planning hours on the Check Your Numbers step.
What costs should I consider beyond the calculator output?
Dashboard shows operational savings. Add TCO, payback, NPV, and IRR for a full finance case. Locus specialists can help during a live demo.
What is the difference between hard and soft logistics ROI benefits?
Hard: dollar savings (transportation, labour, errors). Soft: fulfillment, visibility, customer satisfaction.
Is this logistics calculator suitable for 3PL, last-mile, and fulfillment operations?
Yes. Covers Retail, CPG/FMCG, 3PL, last-mile, and multi-node operations. Custom benchmarks available.
Can this help me build a route optimization business case?
Yes — projections for route optimization, fleet utilization, and managed-service economics, ready for leadership.
How does the calculator relate to Locus's platform?
Models savings from dispatch planning, fleet management, orchestration, hub ops, and managed service. Demo shows deployment. See locus.sh/platform.
