Many customer asked us: How much money do MOBA Systems such as the Big Sonic Ski actually save me?

Here is what we came up with:

This tool has been designed to enable contractors and workers worldwide to calculate their return on investment of MOBA products. The calculator is based on a Big Sonic Ski on one side of the paver with a matching ski on the other side of the paver. Our calculation are founded on various field references.

To see the cost saving for most obvious dimensions of the construction process, we have split the cost saving aspects into ""production"", ""material"" and ""rework"" sections. The last section: ""Total ROI"" shows the overall savings, the amortisation and the total Return On Investment.

Production

Section A deals with the costs saving focused on human resources as well as indicates the average increase in work efficiency. From various field experiences, we are able to show an average increase of 13% of work efficiency. For example that means, if a contractor is able to process 3 km of asphalt laying in one day, our system will enable the contractor to achieve 3.4 km of asphalt laying in one day. This includes a significant increase in quality of the road. In other words, our system offers their user not only an increase in efficiency but also a significant increase in quality at the same time. Cost savings are shown for total project as well as for each km.

Material

Section B concentrates on the costs saving resulting to exploit tolerances of the material usage. The user of the tool may enter their own project values (length of road, width of road and height of asphalt layer) to see the savings based on their individual project. Our calculations are based on an average asphalt height saving of 0.5 cm using the MOBA Big Sonic Ski. This value is a conservative indication - thus savings can be much higher. Cost savings are shown for total project as well as for each km.

Reworking

Section C shows the average savings of avoiding rework. The value of 5% of average rework is based on road construction industry references. Using a MOBA system will avoid any rework – the paving process is done right from the start. Cost savings are shown for total project as well as for each km.

Total ROI

The last section sums up the cost savings from each section (A, B & C). Cost savings are shown for total project as well as for each km. In addition, this sections shows the user the amount of km to work with the MOBA system to achieve amortisation of the initial cost of the system. The result show the significant cost savings and ease of paying back the MOBA system.

Our example shows that for this project, the customer has paid back his system after just 3,7 kilometers and saved an additional amount of 20.000€. All in all, MOBA offers a saving/gain of 45.000€ in just seven kilometers.

Overall, we are proud to show the significant advantages of our system based on cold numbers. Using MOBA increases your quality while decreasing labour, material and rework costs. MOBA Big Sonic Ski systems are an essential tool for every contractors that put high value on quality, efficiency and cost saving aspects. In the attached file, below the calculator, we have created a key for users to understand the values (fixed and variable) of the calculations.
