Replacing the Invoice Spreadsheet: Automating Billing for 300 Invoices/Month

Halcyon Components' two-person finance team spent 3.5 days per month generating 300 invoices manually — with a 4–6% error rate and 8 payment disputes per month. DSO had crept from 32 to 44 days. After automating invoice generation, preparation time dropped to 4 hours, error rate to 0.3%, and DSO returned to 31 days.
