You might be afraid to “go mobile” and ditch your paper work
orders. I’m here to tell you there’s nothing to fear. In fact, it’s
the paper invoices you should be afraid of.
Here're the top ways that paper invoices are hurting your
business:
#1 They Get
Lost
Paperwork gets lost. Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) estimates
finding one piece of paperwork can cost a company about $122. That
could be your profit from an entire service call! PWC also
estimates 7.5% of paperwork is lost forever. That could be 7.5% of
your revenue from unbilled invoices. Customers agree too - they
would rather have it in their email inbox. That’s one less receipt
to keep track of.
Storing your invoices digitally, or in the cloud, is the best
way to eliminate lost paperwork and keep more information stored
forever.
It's also estimated that 20% of an employee’s time is spent looking
for paperwork. As a bonus, digital copies are searchable by
customer’s name or date, and can be accessed almost anywhere when
needed.
#2 They're
Messy
Handwritten paper invoices never look pretty. Chances are, your
handwriting doesn’t hold a candle to “Times New Roman” or “Arial.”
It’s hard to project a professional appearance with misspellings
and worse, illegible writing.
Electronic invoices get the benefits of spell check and a clean
appearance.
#3 And Even
More...
They have to be ordered, so you’re likely to run out when it get’s
busy. They’re expensive, especially if you make mistakes or have to
mail them out. And to top it off, they’re bad for the
environment.
