The 90-Day Payback Timeline: A Week-by-Week Map of When VegaHQ Starts Saving Time and Money

Your First 90 Days on VegaHQ: When the Savings Actually Show Up

Every HR software pitch promises savings. Few tell you when they arrive. Below is a realistic week-by-week payback map for a 100-employee business, so you can judge the numbers for yourself.

01Week One: Attendance Stops Eating Your Mornings

GPS punch-in with geofencing replaces the daily register check. For most teams, that alone frees five to six hours a week that someone used to spend matching sign-in sheets to shift rosters.

02Weeks Two to Four: The Email Ping-Pong Ends

Leave requests, approvals and balance queries move into self-service. Managers approve from their phone, and HR stops answering the same questions. Expect another four to five hours back each week.

03Month One: The First Automated Payroll Run

This is where the payback curve bends. Attendance and leave data flow straight into payroll, so a run that used to take two or three days typically finishes in a couple of hours, with fewer corrections afterwards.

04Month Two to Day 90: Reports Build Themselves and Break-Even Arrives

Live analytics replace the monthly spreadsheet marathon. Add up roughly ten hours saved weekly plus hours reclaimed on payroll, and by day 90 a 100-person team has usually recovered 150 to 250 staff hours. At typical HR salary costs, that often covers the platform cost before a single avoided payroll error is counted.

These figures are illustrative; your own numbers depend on headcount and how manual things are today. The point is that HRMS ROI is measurable, and you should track it from week one.

05My Take

If you run under 30 people on a tidy spreadsheet, payback may take closer to six months, so start with attendance and leave only. If you are past 50 employees or juggle multiple sites, the 90-day timeline is realistic, and I would switch before your next payroll cycle rather than after.
