At Flyte, we have developed numerous solutions to increase productivity and efficiency within a organisations, however it can be difficult to quantify exactly how much time and money is saved with these solutions in place. With the new Time Saver feature in Power Automate (currently in Public Preview) it is possible to show exactly how much time is saved by each flow.

What is the Power Automate Time Saver?

The Time Saver is a new capability introduced in the 2025 release of Power Automate. It allows organisations to quantify the time and money saved through automation at various levels—flow, environment, and tenant. This feature is designed to help businesses measure return on investment (ROI) and make data-driven decisions about where to expand automation efforts.

Key Benefits

1. Quantifiable ROI

With the Time Saver, users can define savings rules for cloud flows, desktop flows, and work queues. These rules estimate how much time and cost each automation saves, and aggregate the data in the Automation Center and the new Value Hub. This visibility empowers teams to justify automation initiatives with concrete data.

2. Enhanced Productivity

By automating repetitive tasks—like data entry, email notifications, and approvals—employees can reclaim hours of their workday. According to McKinsey, automation can save professionals over 2 hours daily.

3. Improved Accuracy and Reduced Errors

Manual processes are prone to human error. Automating them not only speeds up execution but also ensures consistency and accuracy, especially in data-sensitive workflows.

4. Scalable Automation Strategy

The Time Saver feature supports strategic planning by identifying high-impact automation areas. This helps organisations scale their automation efforts intelligently and efficiently.
