What is fragmentation costing you?
Managing a fragmented bench of vendors carries a hidden operational tax — paid in leadership hours, project delays, and a hundred small inefficiencies nobody logs. Adjust the inputs below to see what you may be paying for it every year.
Your vendor landscape
Number of active vendors & service providers
Agencies, freelancers, MSPs, tool providers, consultants — anyone you actively coordinate.
7vendorsLeadership hours per week spent coordinating them
Status chasing, relaying between vendors, resolving who-owns-what, meetings about meetings.
8hrs / weekBlended cost of that leadership time
Loaded hourly rate of the people doing the coordinating (salary + overhead).
The friction in the seams
Project delays caused by inter-vendor handoffs
Roughly how many business days per month are lost to vendors waiting on each other, miscommunication, or rework.
3days / monthDaily value at risk when projects stall
Approximate revenue, billable output, or opportunity tied to a day of forward progress.
The coordination tax
The chronic, unlogged friction — re-explaining, double-handling, "I'll just deal with it." Set how heavily it weighs on your team.
