Let's assume you issue 1000 invoices a year to various clients.
 |
Postage fees are at € 550,– – with increasing tendency. |
 |
|
Printing expense at roughly € 0,025, a page amounts to some € 25,–. |
|
|
Envelopes come at ca. € 35,–. |
|
|
You have to calculate at the very least 2,5 hours a month for invoice handling, which is 30 hours a year. If calculated at € 20,– this means an annual € 600,–. |
Even next to a conservative calculation – consider that a € 20,– hourly work expense is exceptionally low – you'll realize that in case of conventional invoice data exchange you run into annual expenses in excess of € 1.200,–.
Yet the above simple calculation does not consider

problems due to faulty handling |

– in brief, all the incidentals and imponderabilities of conventional invoicing on the expense of your time and resources. |
