Problem

Invoices are going out late

Key finding. Late invoicing is rarely an effort issue. It is a data issue. When time, proof and pricing meet in one place, the invoice almost generates itself.

Invoice run in the last week of the month. Office chasing paper, fixing times, clarifying line items. Invoices go out late, cash suffers. This piece shows the fix.

Typical causes

  • Scattered data sources

    Paper proofs, Excel times, quoting in a separate tool. The invoice run collects instead of generating.

  • Unclear approvals

    Missing approval logic makes office wait for clarification.

  • No automation

    Invoices are drafted per client instead of generated from delivered work.

How to diagnose

  1. 01

    1. Measure run time

    How long is the actual run? Where does it stall?

  2. 02

    2. Count error sources

    Which callbacks come in? Missing paper? Unclear time?

  3. 03

    3. Approval structure

    Who approves, who reviews, who sends?

Structural fix

  1. 01

    1. Time and proof in one place

    Time from NFC, proof from photo, pricing from quote structure.

  2. 02

    2. Invoice from result

    Invoices are generated from delivered work. Office checks and sends.

  3. 03

    3. DATEV export

    Payroll receives the DATEV export without manual intermediates.
