An internal tool doesn't necessarily need to generate revenue directly to be profitable.
It can create value by reducing: time; errors; manual tasks; delays; information loss; operating costs.
Example
A task takes 2 hours a week. It concerns 5 employees. That's 10 hours a week — around 520 hours a year.
At €35 fully-loaded hourly cost: €18,200 a year.
If a solution removes 70% of that workload: €12,740 of annual capacity can theoretically be freed.
This calculation is deliberately simplified. But it changes how you look at the price of a development.
An €8,000 tool is no longer simply an expense. It can become an investment with a measurable payback period.
