Useful before calculation
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 Delays Hit Education MSP Margins
When you’re bidding for school or trust connectivity, security, or managed services, supplier responsiveness directly impacts your cost of sale. Every extra day your account executive spends chasing a quote increases your cost to serve. By isolating the active minutes your team invests, you can start to see the hidden overhead that erodes project margins—without supplier names or live pricing appearing until you’re ready.
How the Quote-Delay Cost Calculator Works
Enter the typical active staff minutes your team spends managing an education quote. The calculator then applies the statutory National Living Wage floor of GBP 12.71 per hour to give an indicative labour cost. Supplier elapsed time is reported separately and is not factored into the paid-labour figure. This gives you a clean, evidence-led view of what slow supplier response might be costing your business.
From Estimate to Live Anonymous Quote
Once you’ve benchmarked your quote-delay costs, a live supplier-backed quote becomes available in your secure MSP portal. No supplier names appear on this public page, preserving your buying position. The aim is to help you identify where a faster supplier could free up account executive capacity and improve your education bid conversion—all on your own terms.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
