Ticket Routing Automation ROI for E-Commerce Businesses

How much is manual ticket routing costing your e-commerce business? See the full ROI breakdown — including 572 hours/year, $21K in savings, and a < 30 days payback period.

The True Cost of Manual Ticket Routing

Every hour your e-commerce team spends on manual ticket routing is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $40/hour and 12 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $25K 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 ticket routing automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your e-commerce business can handle 800+ tickets routed 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.
