Quote operations, not elapsed waiting time
LeadSync measures active work: preparing requests, chasing suppliers, consolidating responses, re-entering data and updating customers. Supplier response time is reported separately and never multiplied into labour cost.
How the Quote-Workload Model Works for MSP Account Teams
Your team spends active minutes requesting and comparing connectivity prices. This model takes those minutes and applies the statutory hourly floor to generate an indicative cost. Supplier elapsed time – the gap between your request and their response – is tracked separately and never treated as paid labour. The result is a clear, evidence-led estimate of the operational drag caused by manual quote processes, helping MSP owners and commercial leaders benchmark internal effort.
Why an Annual Price Helps Education Procurement Move Faster
Schools and trusts need budget certainty, and an annual connectivity quote gives them a fixed-cost view of a 1000Mbps service. When your MSP can present a supplier-backed figure quickly, you reduce back-and-forth requests and meet tight procurement deadlines with less friction. This means account executives can spend more time on strategic advisory work and less on chasing responses, creating a smoother experience for both your team and the education customer.
What the Model Tells You – and What It Doesn’t
This is an indicative workforce model, not a live pricing engine. It measures active employee time against a statutory minimum rate. It does not expose live supplier pricing, individual supplier names, or current market rates. To see a real, up-to-date 1000Mbps connectivity price, sign in to your free Edunet MSP account. Inside, a live supplier-backed figure is ready for your education customers – all without publishing sensitive relationship details on the public web.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
