Calculate your ROI with
customer experience AI

CX ROI is the return a business gets on what it spends on customer experience. It's a way of putting a number on a simple question: for every dollar you put into your support operation, whether that's a platform, a team, or both, how much do you get back?

Most businesses start by measuring the ROI of customer experience in cost terms: lower cost per contact, fewer repeat contacts, faster resolutions. That's real, and it's worth measuring on its own. But it's only half the picture. The other half is what a good customer experience does for revenue: customers who stick around longer, buy again, and spend more once they've had a resolution that actually worked. The full picture of the ROI on customer experience includes both.

That's different from a generic ROI calculation. A generic formula treats "benefits" as a single number you plug in. CX ROI is specific about where that number comes from, resolution rate, cost per contact, contact volume, on the cost side, and retention, repeat purchase, and lifetime value on the revenue side.

Gladly customers see an average 26% reduction in cost per contact. Some go further: Godiva saw an 8x increase in agent productivity, and Beyond cut response time from 13 hours to under 1, a 92% improvement. There's no single number that defines a good return on customer experience investment for every business. But if your calculator result lands anywhere near that range, you're looking at a strong result.
