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.
The Real Impact of Supplier Delays on Education MSPs
When a school or multi‑academy trust needs a connectivity quote, your account executives often wait hours or even days for a response. That elapsed time is not billable, but it still consumes paid staff effort. By capturing active employee minutes and applying the statutory floor, this calculator turns opaque frustration into a transparent, indicative labour figure—helping you focus process reviews on the suppliers that slow your sales cycle most.
How the Active-Time Method Works for MSP Operations
You enter the active minutes your team actually spends on a typical education quote. The model applies the server‑enforced National Living Wage floor of GBP 12.71 per hour—a cautious statutory baseline—and compares the result with a realistic target time you set. Supplier elapsed time is shown separately because it is not paid labour. This keeps the output fair and avoids double‑counting, giving you a clear view of where process improvements could tighten margins.
Access Verified Annual Pricing Inside Your Account
The public page does not display live quote results or expose any provider names. Within your free Edunet MSP account, you can request supplier‑backed connectivity pricing that is described as an annual cost, not a monthly guess. No price is invented for the open web. If LeadSync supplies a figure, you will see it inside the secure dashboard. This design keeps your commercial negotiations confidential while giving you the evidence you need to serve schools faster.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
