See where the time goes.

Estimate the cost of manual work or map a workflow. You can attach the results to an enquiry when you’re ready.

What does the manual work cost?

Put a number on the time spent on repetitive work.

Think of one task that gets done over and over — data entry, copy-pasting, reporting, or chasing updates. Pick a common example or enter your own numbers to see what that task costs per year.

Fill with a common example:

Salary plus employer costs. The starting value is only an example — enter your own figure.

Excluding summer leave and public holidays. Adjust if needed.

Estimated annual cost of this task today

Illustrative example — edit the numbers on the left
Cost per year
3,220,000 ISK
Hours per year
460 hrs
Full-time equivalents (based on a 40-hour week)
0.25

This calculation simply multiplies the numbers entered above to show what the task costs today — it is not a promise of savings. We assess the realistic benefit together after reviewing the workflow. Nothing is stored or sent unless you choose to attach it.

Live Diagnostic Summary

How Sjálfa would approach this workflow:

  • Repetitive work / time sinkAutomate recurring steps in the background so your team only intervenes on genuine exceptions.
  • Manual data entry / error riskEliminate double data entry with structured data extraction and direct system-to-system syncing.
  • Systems don't communicateBridge your existing software via APIs so data moves automatically when a step completes.
  • Waiting on approvals or repliesReplace inbox bottlenecks with a lightweight approval and status flow that keeps work moving.
