Is your facility still relying on manual sign‑in logs, safety briefings done on paper, and dusty registers that only cause delays and non‑compliance? Today’s smart visitor management software combined with a labour management system transforms how you control access, ensure safety, and track workforce. In this blog, you’ll discover the real metrics, cost savings, and case‑based evidence to justify investment in tools like Visit eX Touch and LabourWorks™. We’ll also explore the added value of integrating an emergency assembly point in your safety ecosystem—and how to calculate ROI for every component.
1. Why ROI Matters: Tangible & Intangible Gains from VMS/LMS
According to industry benchmarks, facilities that adopt integrated visitor and labour solutions report up to 60% faster sign‑in throughput and reduce administrative workload by 40%. Automation reduces wait times, minimises human error, and supports regulatory compliance, saving both time and money.
Implementing a VMS/LMS—such as Visit eX Touch from Scrum Systems Pvt. Ltd helps you automate visitor check‑in, safety training, and labour tracking. This reduces manual labour costs and paper usage, avoids fines, and improves security all measurable benefits. A 2025 industry study found organisations saved 76% in visitor sign‑in time and 84% improvement in overall efficiency after shifting to a digital system.
2. Key KPIs and Metrics To Track
Track these simple numbers to calculate ROI:
- Average check‑in time per visitor or contractor – manual vs digital badges.
- Total labour hours saved – number of visitors × time saved × wage rate.
- Training compliance – percent of visitors who complete safety induction via STK kiosks.
- Incidents avoided – number of missed inductions or unauthorized entries.
- Evacuation readiness – headcounts completed at emergency assembly point during drills.
- Response lag time in emergencies – before vs after Smart Assembly Point deployment.
These metrics quantify both direct savings and preparedness benefits—including safety culture gains that reduce liability.
3. Calculating ROI: Sample for a Small Farm
Suppose you process 40 visitors/day, 250 working days/year:
- Manual sign‑in: 4 mins/visitor; automated with Visit eX Touch: 1 min → 3 min saved
- Annual time saved = 40 × 250 × 3 = 30,000 minutes (~500 hours)
- At ₹180/hour: ₹90,000 saved/year
Add training completion via STK eliminating paperwork and staffing for inductions, saving another ₹20,000/year. Suppose a fine of ₹50,000 was avoided due to missed compliance. If combined cost of visitor management software and labour management system is ₹1.5 Lakhs/year, ROI payback in under 12 months is realistic with ongoing savings.
Aligning with emergency evacuation readiness adds value: deploying a Smart Assembly Point™ system that automates headcounts during drills or real events helps avoid penalties and protects lives.
