How to Use the DriveWorks Solo ROI Calculator

The ROI Calculator is powered by DriveWorks Pro software. The forms, calculations, emails, and documents are all generated by DriveWorks. We have created this ROI calculator to make it easier for you to justify the purchase of DriveWorks Solo before making the investment.

We have made the calculator clear, and easy to follow. Take a look at this guide to using our updated ROI calculator.

1. Your ROI is calculated based on the values you enter. The more information you enter, and the more accurate it is, the more realistic your ROI calculation will be. You should calculate your ROI on a product or item you design which is typically the same but different.

2. We have made some assumptions based on our existing customers, to reduce the amount of information required from you. You can edit these assumptions when filling out the form by clicking ‘Edit Assumptions’. Doing the 30-day free trial for DriveWorks Solo before filling out the calculator will give you a better insight into what the answers to the assumptions will be.
