How it works
We calculate your total and the biggest driver
The tool totals all four categories, works out each one’s percentage share, and identifies the single largest contributor.
Get a waste-reduction opportunity score
A concentration-weighted score highlights whether one category dominates (high-leverage fix) or waste is spread thin across all four.

Frequently asked questions
Does WasteLess AI pull data from my inventory or logistics systems automatically?
No. WasteLess AI computes results only from the figures you enter manually — it does not connect to any inventory, WMS, or logistics system. It is a planning and estimation calculator.
What should I count as "inefficient transportation" waste?
Include costs like empty return-leg miles, rush freight to cover shortfalls, extra trips from poor route planning, or unnecessary packaging-driven shipping inefficiency.
Why is the score based on concentration rather than just total waste?
A single dominant category is usually the fastest, highest-leverage fix. The score weights concentration alongside overall severity so you know both how urgent and how focused your next action should be.
Can I use this for a single warehouse or SKU category instead of the whole business?
Yes — enter waste figures scoped to whatever unit you want to analyze, a single site, category, or the whole company, the calculation works the same.
Is this exact accounting or an estimate?
It is a directional estimate based on the figures you supply. Use your own financial records for exact accounting; this tool is meant for fast prioritization, not audited reporting.
