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.
Why MSP quote operations matter in education procurement
Education procurement often involves multiple suppliers with varied response times. For an MSP, every hour spent waiting or chasing adds hidden cost that can weaken margins. By modelling active employee minutes against a statutory bare‑minimum hourly floor, you can build an indicative picture of where your team’s effort is going. This helps you focus commercial conversations on actual leadflow efficiency rather than guesswork.
How the education supplier quote model works
The model separates active staff time from supplier elapsed time. You input the minutes your team spends managing a typical education quote. The system applies the 2026 National Living Wage floor of £12.71 per hour—a server‑controlled value that cannot be altered on the public page. Supplier response delay is tracked separately and does not inflate your labour estimate. The output is an indicative cost per quote, not a saving claim.
Accessing live pricing and improving leadflow
A live, supplier‑backed connectivity price is available once you log into your free MSP account. The public page never displays supplier names or a fake live quote result. Use the quote‑operations model alongside your own account data to compare your internal benchmarks against the supplier responses you actually receive. This evidence‑led approach supports better education procurement decisions without exposing sensitive commercial relationships.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
