Estimates are illustrative. Staff cost model uses 75 $/hr blended rate × hours. QEHS price calculated at $12/user/month (Business plan). Custom development cost is amortised annually. Savings exclude incident-cost reduction from improved safety outcomes — use the ROI calculator to model that separately.
What makes up the true cost of DIY QEHS?
Staff hours
The average QEHS coordinator spends 4–8 hours per week maintaining spreadsheets, chasing signatures, and re-keying data into reports. At $75/hr that is $15,000–$30,000 per year per coordinator, before benefits.
IT support & maintenance
Shared drive structures, SharePoint lists, and Access databases require ongoing IT support for backup, user access, and break-fix. Small teams budget 8–20 IT hours per month — often underestimated until something breaks.
Custom development
When spreadsheets hit their limits, organisations invest in one-off development — Power BI dashboards, custom forms, API integrations. These costs recur as the business changes and are rarely budgeted upfront.
