What would an AI receptionist save your business?

The Compass AI Group ROI calculator turns five numbers about your front desk into annual wage savings, recaptured revenue and a payback period. No email needed to see the result, and every assumption is written out below so you can check it.

Sometimes the answer is a better process, not AI at all.

Plot Your Course

This is a planning tool, not a guarantee. Real results depend on your inquiry mix, your conversion rates today and how cleanly your process maps to the receptionist. A free Bearings call gets you a number specific to your business.

S.02How the math works

Three numbers, two assumptions, one honest result.

  1. 01

    Wage savings

    Hourly wage × hours per week × 52 weeks gives the front-desk wage base. An AI receptionist does not replace all of that work. It handles inquiry calls, bookings, cancellations and common questions, so we assume it takes 60-75% of the front-desk load, freeing the person for higher-value work.

  2. 02

    Captured revenue

    Some share of the inquiries you receive each month go to voicemail or arrive after hours. You enter that share. We assume 5-8% of those previously lost inquiries become paying customers at your stated average customer value.

  3. 03

    Build cost

    Compass does not publish build prices; every build is scoped in Charting after your Bearings call, with a fixed scope, fixed price and fixed timeline in writing. The three scope buttons are modelling assumptions so you can see payback at different budgets, not quotes. The monthly figure models a Managed Compass Foundation plan, which is $500 CAD a month.

  4. 04

    A range, not a guarantee

    Real outcomes depend on your inquiry mix, your conversion rates today and how cleanly your existing process maps onto the receptionist. The Bearings call exists to pin those down before you spend a dollar.
