πŸ” The Invisible Problem: Meetings as a Cost Trap

Monday morning, 9 AM: Even before the actual work begins, the team is already in a meeting again. For most SMEs, this is part of everyday life, and this is exactly where the productivity killer lies.

  1. Too many meetings: 10–15 per week per employee
  2. Hidden costs: Preparation and follow-up take almost as long as the meeting itself
  3. Lack of follow-through: Tasks and deadlines disappear into the void of emails or chats

The truth: Every saved meeting minute directly contributes to value creation.

🏒 Example: A Typical Swiss SME

Let's take an average SME in Switzerland with 50 employees. At first glance, the meeting costs seem harmless, but the numbers tell a different story:


Employees50
Average salaryCHF 80,000 / year
Working hours per year1,800
Meetings per week12
Time saved per meeting20 min (10 min preparation + 10 min follow-up)
Buffer (not every meeting optimizable)25%
Meeting Metrics costCHF 49 per user / month (Pro version)

πŸ‘‰ The result: Hundreds of thousands of francs are lost unnoticed every year.

πŸ’° The Business Case: Numbers That Convince

  1. Time saved per week: 3 hrs
  2. Per year: 138 hrs
  3. Time value: CHF 6,210

For the entire company (50 employees):


Time savingsCHF 306,000
Meeting Metrics costs (CHF 49 Γ— 50 Γ— 12 months)CHF 29,400
