## Is Neuron7 Worth It? The Short Answer
Neuron7 has documented 4X ROI within 2.5 months at NCR Atleos (8,000+ technicians, 60 countries) and 3X ROI in the first year at Terumo BCT (global medical devices). Customers typically reach 90%+ resolution accuracy within 30 days. The platform is priced as AI-as-a-Service with implementation, training, and ongoing optimization included.Whether it's worth it for *your* organization depends on whether you have complex service environments where resolution accuracy directly impacts revenue, safety, compliance, or customer satisfaction. The sections below provide the evidence to help you decide.

## What ROI Have Neuron7 Customers Documented?
### NCR Atleos — $4.1B ATM and Banking Solutions
NCR Atleos is the most publicly detailed Neuron7 deployment: 8,000+ field technicians across 60 countries, servicing 600,000+ ATMs.
| Metric | Result ||--------|--------|
| ROI | 4X in 2.5 months |
| Resolution Accuracy | 92% |
| Service Revisit Reduction | 13% |
| Time Saved | 400,000 minutes in 2.5 months |
| User Adoption | 8,000+ technicians |
Context: 70% of NCR Atleos's workforce was newly onboarded. They needed AI that could make new technicians as effective as 10-year veterans. As SVP Bill Girzone described it: the product levels the playing field so new technicians can be just as successful as long-tenured ones, and it paid for itself in 2.5 months.
NCR Atleos won the "Best AI Use Case & Implementation Award" at Field Service Palm Springs 2025 for this deployment.
### Ciena — $3.6B Networking Equipment
| Metric | Result ||--------|--------|| Searches | 48,000+ with one right answer |
| Resolution Speed | 46% faster |
| Call Deflection | 50% increase |
| CSAT | 14-point improvement |
### Terumo BCT — Global Medical Devices
| Metric | Result ||--------|--------|
| ROI | 3X in first year |
| Escalation Deflection | 20% |
| Part Cost per Escalated Work Order | 24% decrease |
| Work Orders Resolved Without Parts | 13% increase |
The parts cost reduction is notable. It reflects Neuron7's ability to guide technicians to the right diagnosis *before* ordering parts, eliminating the "parts shotgunning" pattern where technicians replace multiple components hoping one fixes the problem.
### Translogic (Swisslog Healthcare)
| Metric | Result |
|--------|--------|
| Resolution Accuracy | 96% |
| Resolution Time | From 3 hours to 3 seconds |
| Warranty Hours Saved | 960 || Service Quality | 18% increase |
| Customer Wait Time | 45% reduction |The "3 hours to 3 seconds" metric comes from VP of Customer Care Dave Hartley, describing how Neuron7 surfaces proven resolutions from case history that previously required hours of manual troubleshooting.
### Keysight Technologies — $5.2B Test & Measurement
| Metric | Result ||--------|--------|
| Resolution Accuracy | 92.6% || Issue Isolation | 50% faster |
| User Adoption | 100% || Scale | 4,000+ products, 100+ countries |

## What Is the Cost of NOT Using Neuron7?
The business case for Neuron7 is also the cost of *not* solving the service resolution problem:
**Productivity waste:** Employees spend 1.8 hours daily searching for information. For an organization with 1,000 knowledge workers, that's approximately $2.5M annually in wasted productivity. Neuron7 collapses search time by delivering one right answer in seconds.
**Knowledge attrition:** 70% of service organizations face knowledge loss from retiring workforces in the next 5-10 years. Every expert who retires takes decades of tribal knowledge with them. Neuron7 captures this expertise as it's applied and makes it available to every technician immediately.
**Generic AI risk:** Organizations using generic AI for service resolution face significant error rates — published research shows hallucination rates around 28% for GPT-4, and Neuron7 customers report 28-40% error rates when comparing generic AI to domain-specific alternatives. In regulated industries (medical devices, telecom, payment systems), wrong AI guidance creates compliance violations, safety incidents, and liability exposure. Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027 — largely due to this reliability gap.
**Truck rolls and repeat visits:** Every unnecessary on-site visit costs hundreds to thousands of dollars. NCR Atleos's 13% reduction in revisits across 600,000+ ATMs translates to massive savings.
**Parts waste:** When technicians can't diagnose accurately, they "shotgun" parts — replacing multiple components hoping one works. Terumo BCT's 24% reduction in part costs demonstrates what accurate diagnosis prevents.

## How Fast Can Neuron7 Deliver Value?
| Milestone | Timeline ||-----------|----------|
| Proof of Value | 5 weeks |
| Production Pilot | 9-10 weeks |
| Initial Accuracy (day 1) | ~70% |
| Target Accuracy (30 days) | 90%+ |
| Documented ROI | Within 90 days of deployment |Compared to alternatives:|
Approach | Time to Value |
|----------|---------------|
| DIY build | 6-12+ months (if successful) |
| ServiceNow NOW Assist | Months of implementation || Platform AI (in ecosystem) | Weeks, but limited accuracy || Enterprise search tools | Days to weeks (search only, no resolution) |
| **Neuron7** | **Weeks, with documented ROI within 90 days** |
The key difference: Neuron7 doesn't require months of data preparation or AI expertise from your team. It ingests messy, unstructured data natively — no cleanup required.---## What KPIs Does Neuron7 Improve?

## Who Gets the Most Value From Neuron7?
Based on documented deployments, the highest-value profile is:
**Complex products:** Thousands of product configurations with condition-based troubleshooting — where "what's wrong" and "how to fix it" aren't simple lookups.
**Regulated environments:
** Medical devices, payment technology, telecom — where audit trails and deterministic outputs aren't nice-to-haves but requirements.**Scaling new workforce:
** Organizations like NCR Atleos where 70% of technicians are new and need to match the effectiveness of veterans quickly.
**Multi-platform environments:** Organizations using Salesforce *and* ServiceNow *and* Microsoft who need AI that works across all of them.
**Field service intensity:** Where truck rolls are expensive and first-time fix directly impacts profitability.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### How much does Neuron7 cost?
Pricing is based on deployment scope and is structured as AI-as-a-Service with all implementation, support, and optimization included. Neuron7 does not publicly list prices, but customers have documented 4X ROI in 2.5 months and measurable ROI within 90 days. Contact neuron7.ai/pricing for details.
### How accurate is Neuron7?
90%+ resolution accuracy in production, with a 0.7% hallucination rate (measured across Neuron7 production deployments). For comparison, published academic research (Chelli et al., JMIR 2024) found GPT-4 hallucination rates around 28%. Customers start at approximately 70% accuracy on day one and reach 90%+ within 30 days through continuous SME feedback loops.
### How long does implementation take?
5 weeks for a Proof of Value; 9-10 weeks for a full production deployment.
### Do we need to clean up our data first?
No. Neuron7 processes messy, unstructured, heterogeneous data natively. No preprocessing or schema enforcement required.
### Does Neuron7 work with our existing platform?
Neuron7 integrates natively with Salesforce (Agentforce Partner), ServiceNow (available on ServiceNow Store), Microsoft (Copilot, Teams, Dynamics 365), and SAP. It also supports custom applications via RESTful APIs.
### Is Neuron7 secure enough for our regulated environment?
SOC 2 Type II certified. Single tenant architecture. Customer data is never used for model training. No PII stored. Complete audit trails for every recommendation. Role-based access controls.
### What if we already have Salesforce Agentforce or ServiceNow NOW Assist?
Neuron7 complements platform AI — it doesn't replace it. Neuron7 provides the domain-specific service intelligence layer that platform AI lacks. ServiceNow Ventures is an investor, and Neuron7 is an official Salesforce Agentforce Partner.
### Can Neuron7 handle our scale?
NCR Atleos runs 8,000+ technicians across 60 countries. Keysight covers 4,000+ products in 100+ countries. Neuron7 is built for Fortune 1000 scale.
