For the CFO

The economics of a unified frontline layer.

You've capitalized $40M+ in HR tech across the last decade. Most of that investment was built for the 20% at a desk. RedeApp is the layer that finally extracts value from the existing investment for the 80% who never logged in — typically $1.5M+ in annual savings per 10,000 workers through license rationalization alone.

The CFO question is rarely 'is this technology good?' It's 'is this the right capital allocation versus everything else competing for the same dollar?' We don't ask you to take that on faith. We show the math.

The economic outcomes

By the numbers, with sources.

  • $1.5M+
    Annual savings per 10,000 workers via license rationalization (RedeApp deployment economics, 2025–2026)
    RedeApp · Shelbe deployment telemetry, 2025–2026
  • $10.22M
    Median enterprise data breach cost avoided through SOC 2 Type II frontline platform replacement of shadow-IT messaging (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024)
    RedeApp · Shelbe deployment telemetry, 2025–2026
  • 15%
    Reduction in frontline turnover at Trilogy Health Services; replacement cost avoided typically exceeds annual platform spend in 6 months (RedeApp deployment telemetry)
  • 8-16 wks
    Per-wave deployment cycle. Time-to-first-value in months, not years (RedeApp deployment methodology)

The four CFO frames

How the economics break down.

Each of these is a separate line item in the typical RedeApp ROI model. Customers see them compound; we model them independently for transparency.

  • License rationalization

    When frontline identity becomes governed, the shadow seat-count in Workday, ServiceNow, and HCM-adjacent platforms becomes visible. Customers typically reduce paid-but-unused HCM and communication seats by 15-25% in the first audit cycle. See the methodology →

  • Shadow IT risk avoidance

    The IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 median is $10.22M per incident; the most common frontline-industry breach vector is shadow IT messaging (WhatsApp, GroupMe, personal text threads carrying PHI or HR-sensitive content). Replacing that surface with SOC 2 Type II governance has expected-value-of-loss in the 7-figure range annually. See the trust posture →

  • Retention economics (canonical formula)

    Industry-standard replacement-cost formula: Headcount × Annual Turnover × Average Wage × 16% multiplier. At Trilogy's 19,535-employee scale with a 15% turnover reduction, the annualized retention savings comfortably exceed platform spend several times over. The full sensitivity table sits in the methodology page; the calculator lets your finance team plug their numbers. See the methodology → · Run the calculator →

  • Operational throughput

    Hard Rock's 3.1M+ documented platform interactions represent labor-hours of work moving out of tribal-knowledge handoffs into auditable system flow. Even at conservative $25/hour blended labor cost, the operational labor-time recapture is material. See the Hard Rock case →

Input · Why the data model is the moat

Identity that holds when everything else moves.

RedeApp is licensed per-employee, per-month, with enterprise volume tiers. The commercial structure is designed for the frontline reality: high-headcount, lower-per-seat pricing than desk-worker SaaS. There are no per-message fees, no usage-based AI consumption charges in the standard contract, and no separate identity-management line item.

Pricing is not published publicly because the deployment shape varies materially across customers (integration depth, agentic workflow scope, regional rollout sequencing). Our team typically delivers a fully-modeled commercial proposal within two weeks of an initial Discovery conversation.
