How PubWorks Mobile Pays for Itself

A typical PubWorks Mobile user can expect to save at least 15 minutes per day by doing “paper work” as it happens with PubWorks Mobile instead of waiting for the end of the day to perform these duties.

15 minutes per day x 200 work days = 50 hours per year.

At $25/hour with fringes, this is a savings of $1250 per employee per year.

With 10 field employees this is a savings of $12,500 per year.
