What does fragmented hire actually cost you?
Enter your annual volume. We’ll show you the bill — task by task, hour by hour, with the working shown. Calibrated against APQC, CIPS and Levvel research, signed off against the Nexus methodology.
Your annual hire volume
buried in fragmented hire £31,250
A single hire isn’t one task. It’s fourteen.
Most procurement and operations teams treat hire administration as one job. It isn’t. A single hire, from request to settled invoice, passes through fourteen distinct administrative tasks across four functional groups. Hover or tap a segment to see what’s hiding inside each one.
Times are weighted across the realistic mix of straightforward and complex hires. Some tasks happen every hire (sourcing, booking, invoicing). Some happen occasionally (damage claims, fines). The 2-hour per-hire figure reflects the modal UK customer profile — fragmented supplier base, mature procurement function, mid-volume operation — not the worst case.
Run the model on your own assumptions.
The default figure works against the modal UK profile. If your operation is light or heavy on any of these dimensions, adjust the inputs and watch the model recalibrate.

Strong claims deserve to be defended.
The £50–75 per-hire figure is calibrated against published industry research. We’ve kept it honest about what’s measured and what’s calibrated, and we’ve cited the sources so you can check the working yourself.
How we calibrated
The £50 to £75 figure sits below what published industry benchmarks would imply if summed directly. Calibration is deliberately conservative — the model is more likely to understate than overstate the true cost. Where research sources disagreed, we took the lower number. This model is based on a calibrated industry estimate. Actual savings will vary depending on hire volume, supplier mix, and your current procurement setup. The next step is a conversation.
Three ways to turn the model into a number you can defend internally.
