ROI of Automating Social Media in Logistics

Calculate the ROI of automating social media for your logistics business. See how much time, money, and effort you can save with Arahi AI — backed by real metrics.

The True Cost of Manual Social Media

Every hour your logistics team spends on manual social media is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $38/hour and 14 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $28K per year — before factoring in the cost of errors, rework, employee turnover, and the opportunities you miss while your team is buried in routine tasks.

AI-powered social media automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your logistics business can handle 60+ posts published per month with minimal human oversight. The result: a < 30 days payback period and compounding returns as your business grows. Here is the detailed breakdown.
