Specright ROI Report Finds Customers Achieve 300%+ Average Return on Intelligent Specification Management
Independent research finds Specright customers save 468 hours annually, and recover their investment in just four months
Posted on
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — May 13, 2026 — Specright, the leading AI platform for specification, packaging, and product lifecycle management (PLM), today announced the release of its latest comprehensive ROI Report, The Business Impact of Intelligent Specification Management and Modern PLM: How Specright Drives ROI. Conducted in partnership with independent third-party research platform UserEvidence, the report surveyed verified Specright customers across food and beverage, CPG, healthcare, industrial, and other industries to quantify the platform’s tangible business impact.
The findings are clear: organizations that replace fragmented, manual specification management processes with Specright’s centralized, AI-powered platform achieve an average ROI of 312% and recover their investment within just four months.
Key Findings
• 312% average annual ROI with a payback period of just four months — and up to 322% ROI for enterprise organizations with higher recall reduction rates.
• 468 hours saved per year on core spec management tasks, equivalent to more than 11.5 standard work weeks.
• 28% decrease in annual fees, penalties, and fines related to sustainability and regulatory reporting noncompliance — a meaningful number as EPR enforcement accelerates across U.S. states and E.U. markets.
The full report quantifies additional impact across tool consolidation, recall reduction, sustainability and regulatory reporting timelines, and SKU rationalization.
“For too long, manufacturers and consumer goods companies have accepted that specification management is a painful, manual process — but it doesn’t have to be. This report confirms what our customers already know: when you give teams a single, trusted source of truth for their spec data, the downstream impact touches every part of the business, from product innovation and speed to market to compliance and cost control.” — Mike Boese, CEO, Specright
The Hidden Cost of Spec Sprawl
The report highlights the operational toll that fragmented specification management takes on manufacturers. Prior to adopting Specright, respondents relied on a patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives, ERP systems, email-based workflows, and homegrown tools to manage product and packaging data — an approach that left teams struggling with inaccurate data, excessive manual work, and disorganized specifications.
Survey respondents represented organizations with an average annual revenue of $690 million, managing an average of 27,600 SKUs and roughly 1,000 supplier relationships — underscoring the scale of complexity Specright is designed to address.
“Errors because of inconsistent data entry have virtually been eliminated. Troubleshooting problems and searching for ‘like items’ is now possible without tribal knowledge.” — Michael Grandinetti, Sr. Manager – Packaging Engineering, Lamb Weston
