Summary:

Costs optimisation by implementation of the SOPHUS system, which supplements or replaces work carried out by people on the example of premises of STRABAG POLSKA Sp. z o.o. in the 2nd half of 2017.

Based on the announcements of the President of the Central Statistical Office from the 2nd half of 2017, it has to be concluded that the average cots of work carried out by people in the companies were at the level of PLN 6,000 monthly (considering contributions to national security company paid by the employer and the average number of holidays, but excluding all other costs, such as working clothes, medical leaves, etc.). It means that the average cost of work converting it one hour of work carried out by people was amounted to PLN 36 during the 2nd half of 2017.

Based on empirical data from 9 implementations of the SOPHUS system in the premises of the company STRABAD Polska, it was possible to calculate all costs incurred by the client on the operation of the SOPHUS system.

It was also possible to calculate number of working-hours that would be calculated for the client’s employees substituted by the SOPHUS system.

Comparison of the above-mentioned data shows that the estimated average costs of one hour of the SOPHUS system work was amounted to PLN 4.58. It means that the work of the SOPHUS system can be almost 8 times cheaper that work carried out by people.

At the same time, the SOPHUS system guaranteed a number of additional advantages, which are described above, including mainly an invaluable knowledge.
