Spanish SMEs Lose 83 Hours a Month on Tasks AI Can Automate

TeamSystem published a study this week that puts numbers on something you already knew: Spanish SMEs are losing a massive amount of time on tasks that humans shouldn't be doing.

83 hours per employee per month.

That's almost 11 hours a week. Or 2 full working days lost on tasks a machine could do in minutes.

What are those 83 hours?

• Replying to routine emails: 15 hours
• Searching for scattered information: 18 hours
• Manual data entry: 20 hours
• Reminders and follow-ups: 12 hours
• Administrative documentation: 18 hours

In money, how much is that?

If your employee earns €1,500/month (an average salary for an SME), that's €8.50 per hour.

83 hours × €8.50 = €705.50 of lost productivity per employee every month.

If you have 5 employees, that's €3,500 per month. €42,000 per year.

On tasks AI can do better and without rest.

It's not a diligence problem

Your employees aren't lazy. The problem is that nobody designed modern work to be efficient. The processes were built in 2005 and still look the same in 2026.

AI doesn't replace people. It frees them from mindless work so they can do intelligent work.

With pinza.ai configured for your company, those 83 hours can drop to 20. Your employees' time becomes yours again.
