Calculating the Return On Investment on a Specialist Intermodal IT System
To maximise profits and compete in a demanding market, forward thinking intermodal companies must take full advantage of the latest technology, continually review their business processes and upgrade or replace front-office systems. Decision makers should compile detailed information in order to assess the benefits of implementing a specialist software package such as:
- Reasons for change
- Current system issues
- Strategic benefits of both types of system
- Predicted costs over next five years for both systems
When calculating the Return On Investment of a prospective new IT system, it is just as important to calculate the cost of not implementing a system, i.e will current systems incur more costs over time than new software.
Real Asset Management has recently released a white paper to provide a template for comparison, including sample calculations and suggested areas of consideration. The paper focuses on companies of all sizes within the intermodal leasing or tank/container operator markets.
