Estimate only. Based on Yesimo’s experience with comparable projects: approximately one hour of coordination per recipient when orders are collected and tracked manually, plus approximately 50 hours of one-time sourcing, options-deck creation, and process setup. Your actual time will vary with gift complexity, number of vendors, and how much of the process is already in place. Figures reflect internal labor time only and are not a quote.
