Managing operations at a growing manufacturing firm means time is always in short supply. Our old invoicing method was slow, manual, and often full of mistakes. Since adopting Revenue 365, we have reduced invoice processing time, and improved billing accuracy.

Challenges Faced During the Invoice Process

Time-Consuming Paperwork: It took them quite a bit of time each week to manually create invoices due to the large volume of orders. This constant paperwork led to delays in billing, which caused a backlog of unpaid invoices and impacted cash flow.
Billing Errors: Because they were manually handling invoicing, they often encountered issues like incorrect amounts or missing details on invoices. These small errors occasionally caused confusion with customers and led to delays in payments, which ultimately impacted the smooth flow of their business operations.
Inconsistent Reporting and Visibility: Tracking the status of invoices manually often resulted in inconsistent reporting and limited visibility into the financial health of the business. Without a centralized system, it was difficult to gain real-time insights into outstanding payments or identify any potential issues, making it harder for the business to forecast revenue accurately and plan for future growth.
Difficulty in Tracking Invoices: With invoices spread across multiple systems and files, it became a challenge to track their status efficiently. This disorganization resulted in missed follow-ups and caused unnecessary delays in payment collection.
Lack of Precise Information: Due to varying data across different systems, it became difficult to maintain consistent and accurate information on invoices. This sometimes led to small discrepancies in payment terms, order details, and billing information.
