FAQ
Employee app return on investment
Time savings and adoption
How does the employee app ROI calculator work?
It combines the reachable workforce, avoidable weekly search and coordination time, and a cautious adoption rate. Only productive time used by active users is valued; engagement and retention are not assigned artificial monetary values.
Which activities can an employee app shorten?
Common cases include finding instructions, shift information, forms and responsible contacts. Feedback from production or field teams can also arrive faster when content ownership and routing are clear.
Why does the model not assume full workforce adoption?
Internal tools are rarely used regularly by everyone from day one. Scenarios from 35 to 65 percent reflect rollout effort, different roles and voluntary use rather than promising immediate universal adoption.
Define the adoption case before development
We prioritise real information journeys and test the benefit with representative employee groups.
Cost and rollout
Which functions are covered by the investment range?
The estimate covers a focused app with news, documents, push notifications, roles and simple feedback. It is based on EUR 140 per development hour excl. VAT; complex HR or workforce-management integrations are scoped separately.
What determines employee app adoption?
A clear personal benefit, current content and frictionless access matter more than a long feature list. Launching an overloaded app without editorial ownership lowers usage and extends the payback period.
How does Groenewold IT deliver employee apps?
Development is Made in Germany at our Leer, East Frisia location. We test one valuable use case with selected user groups and add further processes only after measurable feedback.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
