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 Procurement Workload Accumulates
For an MSP preparing a connectivity proposal for a school or trust, the hours spent waiting for supplier replies represent dead time. The Edunet model isolates the active minutes an account executive invests in gathering requirements, comparing options, and preparing the customer-facing document. Supplier elapsed time is recorded separately, helping you distinguish between process delays and genuine labour.
Indicative Cost of Quote Preparation
The model uses a server-controlled £12.71 hourly floor—the 2026 National Living Wage—to estimate the base cost of staff effort. By entering your typical active minutes, you receive a cautious, comparable figure. This supports MSP commercial leaders in evaluating the resource impact of education procurement without relying on anecdotal workload estimates or fabricated supplier pricing.
Supplier-Backed Quotes in a Single Place
Rather than managing multiple supplier relationships for each school opportunity, education-focused MSPs access a supplier-backed 1000Mbps annual connectivity quote through a free Edunet account. The quote appears only inside the secure portal; public pages show no supplier names or live pricing. This keeps confidential commercial data out of search results while giving your team a ready reference.
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
