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 Quote Delay Hurts Your Education-Focused MSP
In education procurement, speed matters. Schools and trusts expect responsive service, and your account executives need timely quotes to build competitive proposals. Every hour spent chasing suppliers or reworking stale numbers eats into your billable capacity. This tool isolates the active effort your team spends on quote management so you can decide where to focus process improvement.
What the Calculator Actually Measures
The model captures only the minutes your staff actively work on a quote – logging, clarifying, or adjusting details. It applies the server-controlled 2026 National Living Wage floor of £12.71 per hour. Supplier elapsed time (the wait between request and response) is reported separately and is not treated as paid labour, giving you a clean view of internal resource cost.
From Calculator Insight to Supplier-Backed Quotes
Once you understand the hidden cost of delay, you can act. Inside your free Edunet Portal MSP account, you can request live, supplier-backed quotes for education connectivity and services. These aren’t public list prices – they’re real responses from pre-approved education suppliers, ready for you to use in your next proposal. No supplier names are exposed on the public site.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
