Sample budget

A 10-employee SME, first year

To give you an idea, here is a typical first-year budget with MacchinAI.

Process audit€1,500 excl. VAT
MacchinAI system (core)€5,000 excl. VAT
Maintenance (1 year)€1,500 excl. VAT
Hosting (12 × €30)€360 excl. VAT

How much can you save?

One hour a day per employee is worth over €6,000 a year

Here is a cautious estimate, with every calculation shown. Your own figures will be measured during the audit.

A deliberately modest assumption: on the home page we estimate routine work at 1.5 hours a day; here we only count 1 hour.

Our calculation basis, fully transparent

  • Median net salary in the French private sector: €2,190 per month full-time equivalent (Insee, 2024 wages).
  • Converted to gross salary (employee contributions ≈ 22%): about €2,810 per month.
  • Converted to employer cost (employer contributions ≈ 40%): about €3,930 per month, i.e. €47,160 per year.
  • Divided by the legal annual working time of 1,607 hours: about €29 per hour worked.

These are orders of magnitude: contribution rates vary with salaries and relief schemes, and the time saved depends on your volumes. Above all, this time is not a cash saving: it is time given back to your teams to sell, advise and produce. That is exactly what the audit quantifies for your company.

Why this price?

A well-designed, thoroughly tested system — not a kit to tinker with

Let’s be honest: if you are after the cheapest option, you can assemble plenty of open-source tools yourself. It is entirely possible. MacchinAI is for SMEs that would rather have a system ready fast and reliable from day one.

Doing it yourself

  • Tools to choose, install and connect together
  • Weeks of tuning and testing
  • Security and access rights to design alone
  • Nobody to call when something breaks
  • Time your teams do not spend on their actual job

The MacchinAI system

  • A complete core, already built and proven
  • Up and running within weeks
  • Security, rights and human approval built in
  • A contact who knows your installation
  • Your teams save time as soon as it goes live

You are not paying for tools: you are paying for a system that works, fitted to your processes — and for the time you will not have to lose building it.

How many hours could your teams get back?

In a 30-minute call, we identify with you the tasks most worth handing over to AI. You leave with a first estimate, even if we never work together.
