For print shop owners and managers, the end of a job should be a moment of triumph. The project is complete, the client is happy, and the revenue is ready to be collected. But for many, this is where a new kind of work begins: the endless, mind numbing process of manual invoicing. From tracking down paperwork to chasing late payments, this administrative burden doesn’t just consume your time, it steals your peace of mind and, most importantly, your profitability. 

What if you could eliminate this stress entirely? What if your billing process was not just automated, but intelligent? The future of billing for print providers is here, and it’s touchless. LPrinter Suite’s automatic billing system is designed to transform this dreaded task into a seamless, stress-free part of your workflow, enhancing your print business efficiency. 

The Financial and Emotional Toll of Manual Invoicing 

Manual invoice processing is an outdated method that comes with significant costs. Beyond the time spent on data entry, traditional methods can cost businesses between $10 and $30 per invoice. This is due to the labor-intensive tasks of manually entering and verifying data, which can take up valuable employee time and hurt your print shop profitability. 

The risks don’t end there: 

• Costly Errors: Manual data entry is prone to human error, which can lead to mistakes like incorrect amounts or duplicate payments. These errors can result in significant financial discrepancies. 

• Delayed Payments & Poor Cash Flow: The manual process of routing invoices for approval and payment can be slow. This delays the inflow of cash and can negatively affect your company’s financial health, impacting your cash flow management. 

• Stress & Inefficiency: The repetitive nature of manual data entry can lead to employee burnout and reduced morale. With a manual system, it’s difficult to get a real-time view of your finances, making it harder to track payment statuses and cash flow, thereby hindering print workflow optimization.
