π 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.
- Too many meetings: 10β15 per week per employee
- Hidden costs: Preparation and follow-up take almost as long as the meeting itself
- 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.
π’ 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:
| Employees | 50 |
| Average salary | CHF 80,000 / year |
| Working hours per year | 1,800 |
| Meetings per week | 12 |
| Time saved per meeting | 20 min (10 min preparation + 10 min follow-up) |
| Buffer (not every meeting optimizable) | 25% |
| Meeting Metrics cost | CHF 49 per user / month (Pro version) |
π The result: Hundreds of thousands of francs are lost unnoticed every year.

π° The Business Case: Numbers That Convince

For the entire company (50 employees):
| Time savings | CHF 306,000 |
| Meeting Metrics costs (CHF 49 Γ 50 Γ 12 months) | CHF 29,400 |
| Net benefit | CHF 276,600 |
| ROI (benefit/cost) | 10.4x |
π Every franc invested returns over 10 francs.
