Imagine a dealership where every day begins with a flood of invoices—papers stacked high, emails overflowing, and crucial details lost in the shuffle. For many dealerships, this scenario isn’t just a challenge—it’s a costly reality.
Managing invoices is a universal challenge for dealerships. Most processes are highly manual, heavily paper-driven, and time-consuming, costing an average of $13 or more per paper invoice. The reason for this high cost? Labor.
The manual steps involved in data entry, verification, routing, and approvals can drive costs up to $40 per invoice. However, the financial impact goes beyond labor expenses. Errors in data entry, missing line items, and pricing discrepancies can cost upwards of $50 per invoice to rectify, causing significant delays and bottlenecks.
Let’s dive into why managing invoices manually is so expensive, exploring not only the hidden costs but also the comprehensive benefits of automation.
