How much could your organisation save by deploying eProcurement and a governed B2B marketplace? The Borong ROI Calculator provides an estimate of the procurement cost savings and efficiency gains available to your organisation based on your current procurement profile.
It models the expected impact of procurement modernisation using published benchmarks from Aberdeen Research and the Hackett Group, against inputs you provide on current spend, supplier count and procurement processes.
Source: Calculator methodology draws on Aberdeen Research eProcurement impact studies and Hackett Group procurement efficiency benchmarks.
How much could your organisation save by moving indirect and operational procurement through a governed B2B marketplace? The Borong Savings Calculator provides a category-level estimate of the savings available from marketplace-based procurement, based on your current spend profile.
The ROI Calculator gives the full cost-and-efficiency picture of eProcurement deployment. The Savings Calculator focuses on direct cost savings alone: the reduction in unit costs from competitive marketplace pricing and MIDAS benchmarking.
Estimate the annual savings from automating manual purchase handling and enforcing contract pricing across your organisation. Adjust the inputs to match your operation.
Estimates assume Borong automates ~80% of manual PO handling time and recovers ~30% of off-contract spend through contract enforcement. Indicative only.
All figures are illustrative estimates, not a quotation.
The reduction in unit costs available through MIDAS price benchmarking, competitive marketplace sourcing, and the negotiating leverage that comes from structured spend data. Estimated as a percentage of current indirect and operational spend, based on Aberdeen Research benchmarks for organisations deploying marketplace-based procurement.
The reduction in off-contract and off-policy purchasing that is typically achieved through automated approval workflows and a governed marketplace channel. Research suggests automated procurement workflows eliminate approximately 41 percent of maverick spend in organisations that previously relied on manual processes.

The administration time recovered by digitising requisition creation, approval routing, purchase order issuance, invoice matching and supplier communication. Estimated from average staff time reductions documented in eProcurement adoption studies.
The reduction in time and cost associated with procurement compliance preparation and audit response, when all procurement transactions are documented automatically in a time-stamped digital audit trail.
Enter your organisation's current procurement profile across four inputs:
The calculator will generate an estimated annual savings range and a projected 12-month ROI for eProcurement deployment based on your inputs.
The model is category-based. Enter your current annual spend in each key indirect and operational category, and it applies published savings benchmarks for organisations that moved those categories onto a governed marketplace channel.
Categories covered:
For each category you enter spend for, the calculator produces:
MIDAS analyses transaction data across the Borong network to set market-based category benchmarks. Purchases within benchmark or agreed contract rates are market-aligned. Anything outside triggers a real-time alert, so your team can investigate the deviation before it compounds.
The estimate includes MIDAS's effect on category unit costs: the typical reduction organisations see moving from unmanaged spot-buying to benchmark-aligned marketplace procurement. Because Borong does not buy or resell, those benchmarks reflect genuine market conditions rather than platform margin requirements.
The estimate is a point-in-time projection from category benchmarks, but in practice the saving is continuous, because market prices move and MIDAS benchmarks update as new transaction data flows through the network. A supplier within benchmark today may drift outside it over 12 months, and MIDAS alerts in real time when that happens. The impact is not a one-off gain at deployment, it is the discipline that stops pricing drift eroding savings you already have.
Because Borong does not buy or resell, no platform margin shapes the benchmark data. The benchmarks are actual market transaction prices across the network, which is what makes a MIDAS alert a reliable signal for action rather than a platform-serving approximation.
Explore MIDASProcurement technology ROI does not arrive all at once. The timeline for realising benefits from eProcurement deployment typically follows a pattern:
Process efficiency gains are visible within the first 30 to 90 days, as manual workflows are replaced by automated approval routing and purchase order management.
Spend visibility improvements follow within the first three to six months, as transaction data accumulates and dashboards become useful for finance and procurement leadership.
Price savings from benchmark alignment and supplier negotiation typically begin materialising at the six to twelve month mark, once enough spend data has accumulated to identify savings opportunities and support renegotiation.
The ROI calculator uses a blended timeline for the expected 12-month benefit, since the full benefit is not front-loaded. High early adoption accelerates it; slow adoption extends it. Borong's implementation team works with enterprise clients on adoption planning precisely because adoption speed is the main driver of timeline variance.
If the question is "how much could I save on what I buy?", use the Savings Calculator for a category-level estimate of direct cost savings. If you want the full deployment picture, process efficiency and compliance savings and maverick spend reduction alongside direct savings, use the ROI Calculator. For a strategic business case, run the ROI Calculator and add Savings Calculator output for your highest-spend categories.
Back to the calculatorThe ROI calculator provides estimates, not guarantees. Actual savings depend on the specific procurement categories involved, the current pricing your organisation is paying relative to market benchmarks, the level of user adoption achieved after deployment, and the degree to which governance controls are enforced. The calculator's estimates are based on published research benchmarks; actual outcomes at individual organisations may be higher or lower.
For a personalised assessment, Borong's commercial team can run a structured spend analysis on your actual purchasing data. Contact us to request a procurement assessment.
Savings estimates are based on published benchmarks and Borong network data averages. Actual savings depend on your current supplier pricing relative to market benchmarks, the volume and frequency of purchases in each category, and the level of platform adoption achieved after deployment. The calculator provides directional estimates to inform procurement investment decisions, not contractual commitments.

No. The calculators are free estimation tools. Using them does not create any commercial obligation.
The calculators apply published procurement research benchmarks to your inputs. Results are indicative. Actual savings will depend on your specific procurement context.
Yes. Contact Borong's commercial team for a procurement assessment based on your actual spend data. This provides a more precise savings estimate and a deployment recommendation specific to your organisation.
The Savings Calculator focuses on direct procurement cost savings from unit cost reduction and benchmark alignment. The ROI Calculator provides a broader picture that also includes process efficiency gains, maverick spend reduction, and compliance cost savings.
