The Methodology

We publish the math.

Every dollar figure and percentage on the RedeApp Enterprise site has a calculation behind it. We don't ask you to take our numbers on faith — we publish the methodology so your finance team can stress-test it.

The strongest enterprise vendors publish their analytical methodology because the analysis itself is one of their products. RedeApp's economic frame is built on four independent calculations. Each is documented below.

The four calculations

Where each dollar comes from.

Each calculation produces a separate economic outcome. Customers see them compound; we model them independently to preserve transparency.

  • License rationalization ($1.5M+ per 10,000 workers)

    Calculation basis: HCM seat audit + frontline-tool overlap analysis + identity-reconciled actual usage. Typical reduction in paid-but-unused HCM, communication, and identity-platform seats is 15-25% in year 1. At a blended $25/seat/month and 10,000 employees with 20% overlap reduction, the math is 10,000 × 0.20 × $25 × 12 = $600K minimum; deployment scope and integration depth typically lift this to $1.2-1.8M. Sensitivity table available on request.

  • Breach risk avoidance ($10.22M median per incident)

    Calculation basis: IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 median for organizations with 5,000+ employees in regulated industries. Frontline shadow-IT messaging is the most common breach vector in deskless-heavy industries. Replacing it with SOC 2 Type II governance creates expected-value-of-loss reduction. Probability of a breach in any given year is industry-specific; we provide regression tables for healthcare, hospitality, industrial, and senior-living.

  • Retention economics (canonical 16% replacement-cost formula)

    Formula: Baseline Annual Attrition Cost = Total Headcount × Annual Turnover Rate × Average Annual Wage × 16% replacement multiplier. The 16% multiplier reflects HR research standard (sourcing, screening, onboarding, training, productivity ramp). Reference profile (Seasons at Alexandria audit): 200 employees · 72% annualized turnover · $40,856 average wage · 16% multiplier = $941,315 baseline annual attrition cost. Four published reduction tiers: Conservative 1.5% ($19,611, break-even) · Moderate 3.0% ($39,222, 2x ROI) · Platform Target 5.0% ($65,370, 3.35x ROI) · Enterprise Standard 10.0% ($130,740). At scale (Trilogy): 19,535 employees with a documented 15% reduction in frontline turnover yields annualized retention savings that exceed platform spend by 10x+.

  • Agency labor displacement (healthcare-specific)

    In clinical environments, contract agency staff command a 50–60% wage premium over internal employees, so unfilled shifts directly degrade operational margins. Real-time mobile scheduling and shift-coordination via RedeApp reclaims unfilled shifts back to internal staff. Reference benchmark: Seasons at Alexandria's deployment yielded $57,000 in annual savings across a target group of 40 nurse roles via shift-coordination templates. Dual-track value: Track One = HR retention cost-out; Track Two = operational efficiency (40% reduction in administrative processing, 1.2 hours/day saved, 6–8 hour response-cycle acceleration on management decisions).
